Abstract:

This paper presents a security-constrained co-planning of transmission line expansion and energy storage with high penetration of wind power. The energy storage can not only improve the accommodation of renewable generation but also help to mitigate the emergency overflow under the post-contingency state. Also, the adjustment capabilities of the wind farms are considered, and the risk of excessive wind curtailment under the post-contingency state is assessed quantitatively. The coordinated multistage corrective control strategy for the battery storage, the pumped storage, thermal generators, and wind farms is studied. The mixed-integer linear programming problem based on the proposed corrective control strategy has been formulated. The Benders decomposition algorithm is introduced to divide the co-planning problem into one master problem and two sub-problems. In the master problem, the system is operating under normal conditions, so the security constraints are not considered. It minimizes the sum of the investment cost of newly built facilities and the operational cost. In the sub-problems, the corrective control during different post-contingency stages is formulated, minimizing the risk costs under fault conditions. The two-step technique is developed to generate the Benders cuts from the mixed-integer linear programming sub-problems, and return to the master problem. The real-world power system in Gansu, China is studied to validate the applicability and scalability of the proposed model and solution technique. The results denote that the co-planning model with security constraints is profitable in the real power system, with savings of 25% for the newly built transmission lines and a 5.5% reduction in total cost.
