As more clean energy sources contribute to the electrical grid, the stress on generation scheduling for peak-shaving increases. This is a concern in several provinces of China that have many nuclear power plants, such as Guangdong and Fujian. Studies on the unit commitment (UC) problem involving the characteristics of both wind and nuclear generation are urgently needed. This paper first describes a model of nuclear power and wind power for the UC problem, and then establishes an objective function for the total cost of nuclear and thermal power units, including the cost of fuel, start-stop and peak-shaving. The operating constraints of multiple generation unit types, the security constraints of the transmission line, and the influence of non-gauss wind power uncertainty on the spinning reserve capacity of the system are considered. Meanwhile, a model of an energy storage system (ESS) is introduced to smooth the wind power uncertainty. Due to the prediction error of wind power, the spinning reserve capacity of the system will be affected by the uncertainty. Over-provisioning of spinning reserve capacity is avoided by introducing chance constraints. This is followed by the design of a UC model applied to different power sources, such as nuclear power, thermal power, uncertain wind power, and ESS. Finally, the feasibility of the UC model in the scheduling of a multi-type generation unit is verified by the modified IEEE RTS 24-bus system accommodating large scale green generation units.

When larger scale of small hydropower and wind power exist in power system, the traditional reserve capacity algorithm is no longer applicable at the same time of reducing the carbon emission. Aiming at the volatility and non-regulatory of small hydropower and wind power, considering the forecast error of small hydropower, wind power and load,the unit outage rate and other factors, combined with the actual operation parameters of one regional power system in Southwest of China, the wind-hydro – thermal power coordinated operation of multiple objective function optimization calculation model of reserve capacity is established. Using the weighted coefficient method of unified objective method, it transforms the multi-objective optimization problem into a single objective optimization one. Applying the exterior penalty function method, the constrained optimization problem is changed into a non-constrained optimization one. The improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is got by introducing the particle concentration cognition into traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm. The simulation results verify the validity of the model. To Compare them under different strategies, this method can get less fuel expenses of thermal power units in the case of lower loss of load probability (LOLP).With the small hydropower and wind power output size to optimize the spinning reserve capacity. The model and the algorithm are helpful for drawing up optimization strategies of the reserve capacity in those regions in which larger scale small hydropower and wind power exists.

Abstract The theoretical and computational analysis proposed in this work is aimed at identifying the features of thermal and hydrodynamic processes carried out in the steam-generating channels of the ship type water-moderated nuclear power installations. It is shown that the complex geometry of the thermohydraulic tract curvilinear channels of the steam generating system has a significant effect on the efficiency of the transport nuclear power installation. In addition to the formation of large-scale vortex structures and swirling flow in the pipeline, the phenomenon of the swirling flow crisis is revealed, under which the low-frequency component of the acoustic spectrum is enhanced. The scientific and applied significance of the proposed research is associated with the need to ensure a wide range of operational changes in efficient and safe operation power modes of icebreaker nuclear power installations. The research, aimed at developing the principles of physical and mathematical modeling of complex vortex flows, is necessary to optimize the design parameters of the thermal power equipment elements of new generation ship nuclear power installations in order to ensure increased safety and reliability of their operation.

The rapidly increasing penetration of wind power into sending-side systems makes the wind power curtailment problem more severe. Enhancing the total transfer capability (TTC) of the transmission channel allows more wind power to be delivered to the load center; therefore, the curtailed wind power can be reduced. In this paper, a new method is proposed to enhance TTC, which works by optimizing the day-ahead thermal generation schedules. First, the impact of thermal generation plant/unit commitment on TTC is analyzed. Based on this, the day-ahead thermal generation scheduling rules to enhance TTC are proposed herein, and the corresponding optimization models are established and solved. Then, the optimal day-ahead thermal generation scheduling method to enhance TTC is formed. The proposed method was validated on the large-scale wind power base sending-side system in Gansu Province in China; the results indicate that the proposed method can significantly enhance TTC, and therefore, reduce the curtailed wind power.

Large-scale wind power connected to the power system is a challenge to the traditional dispatch mode which is based on the accuracy of load forecasting and the accessibility of power, how to deal with the randomness and volatility of wind power has become a new problem facing the dispatch of power system. In this paper, an optimal power flow model with the goal of minimizing the total generation cost is established under the environment of generation market. Consider a variety of power supply in the system, the hydro and wind power should be preferentially used; Thermal power units bid for the capacity which is determined when wind power reach its maximum output at the minimum equivalent load time, and then whether the booting units can satisfy the load is checked at the maximum equivalent load time, if not, wind power will be curtailed to boot new thermal units until the load is met. Finally the example shows the feasibility of the dispatching strategies.
