摘要

Fluctuations in wind power in geographically distributed areas are typically complementary, and therefore a coordinated multi-area dynamic economic dispatch may enable greater wind power penetration in interconnected power systems. Here we describe a decentralized approach based on a modified generalized Benders decomposition in which locally optimal cost function of each area is introduced. The technique exhibits rapid convergence and does not require parameter tuning. It is suitable for multi-area interconnected systems with a hierarchical control architecture. Comparative numerical simulations demonstrate that the performance of our method is favorable in terms of accuracy, convergence and computational efficiency. A case study on a real power system is also carried out to demonstrate the potential of this technique to increase wind power penetration.
