SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR POWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT

摘要

An operating configuration for a power system during a particular time period may be derived from a net load forecast for the power system during the particular time period. The operating configuration may be based on characteristics of power generation units (PGUs) available within the power system (e.g., power generators). The characteristics of a PGU may include a generation trajectory for the PGU that defines, inter alia, power generated by the PGU as the PGU ramps up power production within the power system. The generation trajectory of PGUs may be evaluated in view of the net load forecast to ensure that adequate power resources are available within the power system and avoid ramping scarcity conditions.

1. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions configured to cause a computing device to perform operations for power system management, the operations comprising:
determining a net load forecast for a power system, the net load forecast corresponding to a sequence of net load samples, each net load sample defining a linear net load on the power system during a respective time interval within an operating period of the power system, wherein determining the net load forecast further comprises,
modeling a non-linear variance of the net load on the power system within one or more time intervals of the net load samples; formulating a generation trajectory to configure one or more power generation units to satisfy the determined net load forecast for the power system, including the non-linear variance of the net load modeled within the one or more time intervals; and configuring the one or more power generators to generate power in accordance with the determined power generation trajectory during the operating period.
