“…The general economic index of PV system planning and design are listed as the following: minimum energy consumption (MEC), NPV, life cycle cost (LCC), payback year and so on [73]. The NPV index is frequently used in PV system planning and design because the entire PV project life cycle and timelines of funds are both taken into account.…”

Distributed energy resources (DERs), if properly coordinated with other Volt/Var control (VVC) devices, could be incorporated in daily VVC problem. In this paper, a new 2-stage model is presented for daily VVC of distribution systems including DERs, taking into account environmental and economic aspects. First, in the day-ahead market, an initial environmental-economic dispatch is performed to minimize both the electrical energy costs and the gas emissions pertaining to generation units. The initial scheduling results determined by the market operator are delivered to the second stage, namely the daily optimal dispatches of VVC devices, to examine them from operational viewpoints and to yield the daily optimal dispatches of the VVC devices. The objective function of the second stage consists of the total cost of the following components: active power losses, adjustment of the initially scheduled active powers, and depreciation of switchable devices. In this paper, attention is directed towards 2 important types of DERs to be connected to the network: synchronous machine-based distributed generations and wind turbines. Because the active and reactive powers of DERs are coupled via the capability diagram, in this paper, this issue is addressed by considering the capability diagram of DERs in the proposed model. In particular, the Q-capability diagram of wind turbines should be analyzed taking the hourly wind speed fluctuations into consideration, so that delivery of a uniform reactive power can be ensured over the entire hour of operation. Due to the complexity of solving mixed integer nonlinear programming problems, an algorithm based on Benders decomposition is suggested to solve the proposed VVC model in the second stage. Finally, 2 standard distribution test networks are utilized to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract:One of the most important Distribution System Operators (DSO) schemes addresses the Volt/Var control (VVC) problem. Developing a cost-based reactive power dispatch model for distribution systems, in which the reactive powers are appropriately priced, can motivate Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to participate actively in VVC. In this paper, new reactive power cost models for DERs, including synchronous machine-based DGs and wind turbines (WTs), are formulated based on their capability curves. To address VVC in the context of competitive electricity markets in distribution systems, first, in a day-ahead active power market, the initial active power dispatch of generation units is estimated considering environmental and economic aspects. Based on the results of the initial active power dispatch, the proposed VVC model is executed to optimally allocate reactive power support among all providers. Another novelty of this paper lies in the pricing scheme that rewards transformers and capacitors for tap and step changing, respectively, while incorporating the reactive power dispatch model. A Benders decomposition algorithm is employed as a solution method to solve the proposed reactive power dispatch, which is a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem. Finally, a typical 22-bus distribution network is used to verify the efficiency of the proposed method.
