Distributed Demand Side Management With Stochastic Wind Power Forecasting

Abstract

In this article, we propose a distributed demandside management (DSM) approach for smart grids taking into account uncertainty in wind power forecasting. The smart grid model comprehends traditional users as well as active users (prosumers). Through a rolling-horizon approach, prosumers participate in a DSM program, aiming at minimizing their cost in the presence of uncertain wind power generation by a game theory approach. We assume that each user selfishly formulates its grid optimization problem as a noncooperative game. The core challenge in this article is defining an approach to cope with the uncertainty in wind power availability. We tackle this issue from two different sides: by employing the expected value to define a deterministic counterpart for the problem and by adopting a stochastic approximated framework. In the latter case, we employ the sample average approximation (SAA) technique, whose results are based on a probability density function (PDF) for the wind speed forecasts. We improve the PDF by using historical wind speed data, and by employing a control index that takes into account the weather condition stability. Numerical simulations on a real data set show that the proposed stochastic strategy generates lower individual costs compared to the standard expected value approach.

“…Limited by the rated power of a converter, the power command of the BESS P bat > 0 represents discharging, while P bat < 0 implies charging. On the other hand, references [25,26] show that loads could be classified into non-controllable, controllable comfort-based loads. However, this paper focuses on the power dispatch problem, the investigated load demand profile is statistical data from TPC customers and is regarded as an uncontrollable load.…”

“…Flexibility schemes have been discussed widely during the last decade and it is foreseen a change in the power grid paradigm in the following years [51,52]. Therefore, ESS are a key component to provide it in an optimal way and has been discussed widely in the literature [53,54]. The average daily consumption of commercial premises in Europe varies greatly according to the location and function of the premises, along with the country's climate and gross domestic product (GDP).…”
