Security-constrained unit commitment model considering frequency and voltage stabilities with multiresource participation

The rapidly increasing proportion of renewable energy sources has led to a reduction in the relative share of synchronous units, which has resulted in a decline in the inertia of the power system and a decrease in its voltage support capacity. This has led to several issues related to the frequency and voltage stabilities of the power system. To ensure these frequency and voltage stabilities, it is necessary to maintain a number of synchronous units online in the day-ahead generation schedule. First, the dynamic frequency change process after a power system fault is discussed, and a linear expression is derived for the frequency stability constraints involving energy storage systems and wind turbines. Second, the short-circuit capacity of the bus is characterized to describe the strength of voltage support, and the minimum short-circuit capacity requirement of the bus is solved based on the transient voltage recovery problem after clearance of the short-circuit faults. The total short-circuit capacity provided by the unit to the bus is then calculated through the network reactance matrix to establish the voltage stability constraint. Subsequently, the security-constrained unit commitment model considering frequency and voltage stabilities (FVS-SCUC) is established. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated through a numerical simulation of the IEEE-39 system comprising storage and wind turbines. The model ensures the frequency and voltage securities of the system, and the renewable energy output is improved upon considering energy storage. Thus, the overall system cost was reduced by nearly 30% by considering the frequency regulation effects of the energy storage system and wind turbine as well as the voltage regulation effects of the energy storage system.
