An Innovative Coalitional Trading Model for a Biomass Power Plant Paired With Green Energy Resources

Abstract

The role of biomass resources to diminish the dependency on fossil fuels is steadily increasing worldwide. More importantly, governments set goals to boost the share of renewable energy resources in the power sector to face up to global warming issues. In this paper, a coalitional game model for the trading of a Biomass Power Plant (BPP) paired with a concentrating solar power facility and a wind park is proposed. In the proposed coalitional trading architecture, the physical coupling between biomass and concentrating solar power facilities is embedded, while cost sources related to operation and maintenance of all units as well as harvesting and transportation of forestry residue are taken into account to represent a more pragmatic trading approach. The suggested coalitional trading model is formulated as a stochastic model with three sequential stages. Moreover, game theory concepts, i.e., τ -value, nucleolus, and Shapleyvalue, are exploited and compared for profit allocation to the coalition members. A cost-benefit analysis is also conducted to investigate the effect of cooperative and non-cooperative trading models on the BPP's investment feasibility. The results highlight the lucrativeness of the proposed coalitional trading model and remarkable reduction in the payback period of the BPP under a cooperative game framework.

Risk-Aware Battery Bidding With a Novel Benchmark Selection Under Second-Order Stochastic Dominance

“…[7] contains all data pertaining to the BSS aging cost, whereas this function is linearized with twenty blocks (S = 20). The price scenarios (for both ex-ante and ex-post tests) are derived following a scenario generation process [30] for the 16 th of May, 2022, Spanish market [38]. For the ex-ante analysis, first, one thousand scenarios for day-ahead and intraday prices are generated and then reduced to twenty for each [39].…”

“…Regarding the aging cost, the proposed energy arbitrage model is formulated as a two-stage stochastic problem where the stochastic parameters are the volatile electricity prices in dayahead and intraday markets. While several scenario generation methods have been suggested in the literature [29], this article utilizes the method presented in [30]. Accordingly, the objective function of the proposed optimization problem can be described as (1a):…”

“…In the above constraints, P ch and P dis express maximum charging and discharging powers of the BSS, and ϵ t is a binary decision variable for modeling the BSS discharging mode. It is of paramount importance that the charging and discharging powers of the BSS in the intraday market should be limited to a certain extent [30], as shown in (1j) and (1k).…”

Investigating the Effects of the Driving Cycle and Penetration of Electric Vehicles on Technical and Environmental Characteristics of the Hybrid Energy System Considering Uncertainties

“…The continual development of technology and power grid innovations provides a great opportunity for benefit from electric transportation. EVs have a major role in such systems [1][2][3]. Although EV have received significant consideration going back a bit more than a decade to this point, fossil fuel-based vehicles are still the majority of vehicles owned and operated today.…”

“…As traditional fossil energies are facing the crisis of the exhaust and causing serious pollutions to the environment, renewable energies have attracted extensive research interests and renewable energies connected to the grid have rapidly increased in recent years, such as potovoltaics (PV), 1,2 fuel cells, 3 biomass, 4 and micro-turbines. 5 Usually, the renewable energies have the disadvantage of low output voltages.…”
