Abstract

Scheduling energy and reserve in power systems with a large number of intermittent units is a challenging problem. Traditionally, the reserve requirements are assigned after clearing the day-ahead energy market using ad hoc rules or solving computationally intense mathematical programming problems to co-optimize energy and reserve. While the former approach often leads to costly oversized reserve provisions, the computational time required by the latter makes it generally incompatible with the daily power system operational practices. This paper proposes an alternative deterministic formulation for computing the energy and reserve scheduling, considering the uncertainty of the demand and the intermittent power production in such a way that the resulting problem requires a lower number of constraints and variables than stochastic programming-based formulations. The performance of the proposed formulation has been compared with respect to two standard stochastic programming formulations in a small-size power system. Finally, a realistic case study based on the Iberian Peninsula power system has been solved and discussed.
