  • Optimization of wind power producer participation in electricity markets with energy storage in a way of energy 4.0
    Publication . Gomes, Isaías; Pousinho, Hugo M. I.; Melicio, Rui; Mendes, Victor
    This paper proposes a problem formulation to aid as a support information management system of a wind power producer having energy storage devices and participating in electricity markets. Energy storage can play an important role in the reduction of uncertainties faced by a wind power producer. Excess of conversion of wind energy into electric energy can be stored and then released at favorable hours. Energy storage provides capability for arbitrage and increases the revenue of the wind power producers participating in electricity markets. The formulation models the wind power and the market prices as stochastic processes represented by a set of convenient scenarios. The problem is solved by a powerful stochastic mixed integer linear programming problem. A case study using data from the Iberian Electricity Market is presented to show the aid of the formulation.
  • Dust effect impact on PV in an aggregation with wind and thermal powers
    Publication . Gomes, Isaías; Melicio, Rui; Mendes, Victor
    This paper is about the dust effect impact on photovoltaic systems on the profit of an electricity market agent acting as an aggregator of photovoltaic power, wind power, thermal power, and an energy storage system. Energy storage ensures arbitrage and smoothing of the variability of photovoltaic power and wind power. The market agent intends to derive bids for submission in a day-ahead market, having consideration of the dust effect impact on the photovoltaic power. A formulation is proposed for a support decision system by a profit-based unit commitment problem solved by a stochastic programming approach, considering the operating characteristics of the virtual power plant. The photovoltaic power, wind power, and market price uncertainties are input data derived from scenarios of historical data. Case studies addressed show the advantages of the stochastic programming approach and insights concerned with the integration of uncertainties within the modeling for the schedule of the energy storage system and the dust effect impact on profit.
