Hybrid Energy Resources

• The combined use of the energy resources

Example• Hydro-Thermal• Hydro-Thermal -Nuclear

4

Objective of Hydro-thermal Generation Scheduling

• Use the hydro energy for profit maximization that leads to thermal cost minimization of a hydro-thermal system.

• Formulate Long Term Hydro-Thermal coordination as a cost minimization problem.

5

Method Used to Solve the Hydro-thermal Scheduling

• Lagrangian Relaxation method is used to solve the hydro-thermal scheduling.

• Lagrangian Multipliers are updated in all the iterations to meet the constraints.

6

Economic Dispatch Problem

• Objective Function

FT = F1 +F2 +F3 +F4 +………+Fn = Σ Fi(Pi)

• Constraint Function N Φ = 0 = Pload + Ploss – Σ Pi i = 1 • Lagrange Function

L= FT + λ Φ

• Finding the minimum cost operating condition

dL / dPi = (dFi (Pi) /dPi) + λ ((dPloss /dPi)-1) = 0

λ = (dFi (Pi) /dPi ) / (1- (dPloss /dPi))

• (incremental cost rate of unit) λ = Lni (dFi (Pi) /dPi )

Network Loss Equation Calculation

Steps:

• Zbus formation of Network• To express the system loss in terms of only generator

currents• Transform the generator currents into the power outputs

Loss Equation

Ploss = Σi Σj Pi Bij Pj + Σi Bio Pi + Boo

HydroThermal Scheduling Problem

• Problem

Min FT = Σ nj Fj

nj = length of jth interval

• Subject to Σ nj qj = Qtot (total water discharge)

• Pload j – PHj – PSj = 0 (load balance)

• Σ nj = Tmax

• Adding the network losses to the problem Ploadj + Plossj – PHj – PSj = 0

• Lagrange Function becomes L = Σ [nj F (PSj ) + λj (Ploadj + Plossj – PHj – PSj )]+ γ [Σ nj qj (PHj ) – Qtot ]

Hydro Constraints

• Reservoir Water at the Start of Schedule

• Reservoir Water at the end of Schedule

• Limitation of the Reservoir Volume

• Inflow to the Reservoir

STEPS FOLLOWED IN PROGRAM

• Reading and Storing Line data and Bus data.

• Formation of Zbus of the given system using Zbus building algorithm.

• Calculation of Transmission Loss B Coefficients.

• Hydro-Thermal generation scheduling with network loss.

ResultsRunning the program for the following two cases:

• Case 1: Two thermal and two hydro units.

• Case 2: Three thermal and one hydro unit

The load pattern for a day is assumed to be as follows:

• Load for first 12 hours of the day = 800 MW

• Load for next 12 hours of the day = 900 MW

We get

CONCLUSIONS

• The proposed algorithm has been successfully tested for generation scheduling of two different cases using the IEEE 14-bus system.

• The method maximizes the production profits of the hydrothermal power system by efficient use of the hydro energy.

• The derived loss equation used in algorithm by the Zbus method provides accurate generation schedules.

FUTURE WORK

• To develop a general algorithm for generation scheduling in power systems with hybrid energy resources

• The proposed method will determine the optimal allocation of energy resulting from random availability of source during different sub-periods of a year so that the expected benefits are maximized
