The rapid development of renewable energy has increased the peak to valley difference of the netload, making the netload following being a new challenge to the power system. Electric boiler with thermal storage (EBTS) occupies a non-negligible part of the load in the winter season in Northern China. EBTS operation optimization can not only save its own energy cost but also reduce the peak shaving and valley filling pressure of the system. To this end, the operation optimization of EBTS for providing the power balancing service is studied in this paper, which mainly includes three parts: First, the joint probability distribution between the predicted and actual temperatures is built by utilizing the Copula theory; Secondly, the actual temperatures are sampled based on the predicted temperatures of the next day, and the scenario set is generated by clustering these samples, where K-means clustering method are used; Thirdly, the stochastic operation optimization model of EBTS considering the uncertainty of outdoor temperature is constructed. Through the case study, it is found that the proposed method can save the total operation cost of the EBTS compared with the deterministic EBTS operation optimization model.

In this paper, we propose a data-driven energy storage system (ESS)-based method to enhance the online small-signal stability monitoring of power networks with high penetration of intermittent wind power. To accurately estimate inter-area modes that are closely related to the systems inherent stability characteristics, a novel algorithm that leverages on recent advances in wide-area measurement systems (WAMSs) and ESS technologies is developed. It is shown that the proposed approach can smooth the wind power fluctuations in near real-time using a small additional ESS capacity and thus significantly enhance the monitoring of small-signal stability. Dynamic Monte Carlo simulations on the IEEE 68-bus system are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in smoothing wind power and estimating the inter-area mode statistical properties.
Chance-constrained optimization (CCO) has been widely used for uncertainty management in power system operation. With the prevalence of wind energy, it becomes possible to consider the wind curtailment as a dispatch variable in CCO. However, the wind curtailment will cause impulse for the uncertainty distribution, yielding challenges for the chance constraints modeling. To deal with that, a data-driven framework is developed. By modeling the wind curtailment as a cap enforced on the wind power output, the proposed framework constructs a Gaussian process (GP) surrogate to describe the relationship between wind curtailment and the chance constraints. This allows us to reformulate the CCO with wind curtailment as a mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MI-SOCP) problem. An error correction strategy is developed by solving a convex linear programming (LP) to improve the modeling accuracy. Case studies performed on the PJM 5-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of accurately accounting the influence of wind curtailment dispatch in CCO.
A significant amount of converter-based generation is being integrated into the bulk electric power grid to fulfill the future electric demand through renewable energy sources, such as wind and photovoltaic. The dynamics of converter systems in the overall stability of the power system can no longer be neglected as in the past. Numerous efforts have been made in the literature to derive detailed dynamic models, but using detailed models becomes complicated and computationally prohibitive in large system level studies. In this paper, we use a data-driven, black-box approach to model the dynamics of a power electronic converter. System identification tools are used to identify the dynamic models, while a power amplifier controlled by a real-time digital simulator is used to perturb and control the converter. A set of linear dynamic models for the converter are derived, which can be employed for system level studies of converter-dominated electric grids.
Energy savings from efficiency methods in individual residential buildings are measured in 10s of dollars, while the energy savings from such measures nationally would amount to 10s of billions of dollars, leading to the tragedy of the commons effect. The way out of this situation is via deployment of automated, integrated residential energy systems, that provide the user with a seamless, cost effective service leading to improvement of comfort and residential experience. Models are of critical importance in this context, as intelligent operating systems depend on them strongly. However, most of the currently used models of thermal behavior of buildings have high complexity leading to problems and implementation. The complexity also obscures the utilization of well know physical properties of buildings such as the thermal mass. In view of this, we investigate data-driven, simple-to-implement residential environmental models that can serve as the basis for energy saving algorithms in both retrofits and new designs of residential buildings. Despite the nonlinearity of the underlying dynamics, using Koopman operator theory framework in this study we show that a linear second order model embedding, that captures the physics that occur inside a single or multi-zone space does well when compared with data simulated using EnergyPlus. This class of models has low complexity. We show that their parameters have physical significance for the large-scale dynamics of a building and are correlated to concepts such as the thermal mass. We investigate consequences of changing the thermal mass on the energy behavior of a building system and provide best practice design suggestions.
Power grid parameter estimation involves the estimation of unknown parameters, such as inertia and damping coefficients, using observed dynamics. In this work, we present a comparison of data-driven algorithms for the power grid parameter estimation problem. First, we propose a new algorithm to solve the parameter estimation problem based on the Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy) approach, which uses linear regression to infer the parameters that best describe the observed data. We then compare its performance against two benchmark algorithms, namely, the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) approach and the physics-informed neural networks (PINN) approach. We perform extensive simulations on IEEE bus systems to examine the performance of the aforementioned algorithms. Our results show that the SINDy algorithm outperforms the PINN and UKF algorithms in being able to accurately estimate the power grid parameters over a wide range of system parameters (including high and low inertia systems). Moreover, it is extremely efficient computationally and so takes significantly less time than the PINN algorithm, thus making it suitable for real-time parameter estimation.
