Abstract

A short-term stochastic production simulation method considering the forecast error of renewable sources power is proposed to focus on the issue that conventional production simulation method is incapable of depicting the forecast error of renewable sources power. The proposed method contains two hierarchies, i.e. the day-ahead simulation and the real-time simulation. As for day-ahead simulation, a day-ahead scheduling of conventional units and renewable energy plants is determined by solving a unit commitment model on the basis of forecasted renewable sources power and load profiles. Real-time simulation is the supplement to day-ahead simulation and it corrects the results in day-ahead simulation. The validity of the proposed method is proved with a real power grid in Northwest China. Case studies show that conventional units may be still the major resource of power grids although these installed capacity is no larger than renewable energy resources. Meanwhile, forecast errors actually impact reliability of power systems.
