High penetration of renewable energy sources coupled with the decentralization of transport and heating loads in future power systems will result in even more complex unit commitment problem solution using energy storage system scheduling for efficient load leveling. This paper employees an adaptive approach to load leveling problem using the Volterra integral dynamical models. The problem is formulated as the solution of the Volterra integral equation of the first kind which is attacked using Taylor-collocation numerical method which has the second-order accuracy and enjoys self-regularization properties, which is associated with confidence levels of system demand. Also, the CESTAC method is applied to find the optimal approximation, optimal error and optimal step of the collocation method. This adaptive approach is suitable for energy storage optimization in real-time. The efficiency of the proposed methodology is demonstrated on the Single Electricity Market of the Island of Ireland., Comment: Submitted to the Bulletin of Irkutsk State University - series Mathematics

Energy storage systems will play a key role in the power system of the twenty first century considering the large penetrations of variable renewable energy, growth in transport electrification and decentralisation of heating loads. Therefore reliable real time methods to optimise energy storage, demand response and generation are vital for power system operations. This paper presents a concise review of battery energy storage and an example of battery modelling for renewable energy applications and second details an adaptive approach to solve this load levelling problem with storage. A dynamic evolutionary model based on the first kind Volterra integral equation is used in both cases. A direct regularised numerical method is employed to find the least-cost dispatch of the battery in terms of integral equation solution. Validation on real data shows that the proposed evolutionary Volterra model effectively generalises conventional discrete integral model taking into account both state of health and the availability of generation/storage., Comment: 9 pages, 12 figures; accepted to IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics

Renewable-energy-based grids development needs new methods to maintain the balance between the load and generation using the efficient energy storages models. Most of the available energy storages models do not take into account such important features as the nonlinear dependence of efficiency on lifetime and changes in capacity over time horizon, the distribution of load between several independent storages. In order to solve these problems the Volterra integral dynamical models are employed. Such models allow to determine the alternating power function for given/forecasted load and generation datasets. In order to efficiently solve this problem, the load forecasting models were proposed using deep learning and support vector regression models. Forecasting models use various features including average daily temperature, load values with time shift and moving averages. Effectiveness of the proposed energy balancing method using the state-of-the-art forecasting models is demonstrated on the real datasets of Germany's electric grid., Comment: 6 pages; accepted to 38th China Control Conference 2019

Development of reliable methods for optimised energy storage and generation is one of the most imminent challenges in moder power systems. In this paper an adaptive approach to load leveling problem using novel dynamic models based on the Volterra integral equations of the first kind with piecewise continuous kernels. These integral equations efficiently solve such inverse problem taking into account both the time dependent efficiencies and the availability of generation/storage of each energy storage technology. In this analysis a direct numerical method is employed to find the least-cost dispatch of available storages. The proposed collocation type numerical method has second order accuracy and enjoys self-regularization properties, which is associated with confidence levels of system demand. This adaptive approach is suitable for energy storage optimisation in real time. The efficiency of the proposed methodology is demonstrated on the Single Electricity Market of Republic of Ireland and Sakhalin island in the Russian Far East., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1507.06484

We propose the numerical methods for solution of the weakly regular linear and nonlinear evolutionary (Volterra) integral equation of the first kind. The kernels of such equations have jump discontinuities along the continuous curves (endogenous delays) which starts at the origin. In order to linearize these equations we use the modified Newton-Kantorovich iterative process. Then for linear equations we propose two direct quadrature methods based on the piecewise constant and piecewise linear approximation of the exact solution. The accuracy of proposed numerical methods is $\mathcal{O}(1/N)$ and $\mathcal{O}(1/N^2)$ respectively. We also suggest a certain iterative numerical scheme enjoying the regularization properties. Furthermore, we adduce generalized numerical method for nonlinear equations. We employ the midpoint quadrature rule in all the cases. In conclusion we include several numerical examples in order to demonstrate the efficiency of proposed numerical methods, Comment: Submitted to APNUM Journal

One of the most common problems of scientific applications is computation of the derivative of a function specified by possibly noisy or imprecise experimental data. Application of conventional techniques for numerically calculating derivatives will amplify the noise making the result useless. We address this typical ill-posed problem by application of perturbation method to linear first kind equations $Ax=f$ with bounded operator $A.$ We assume that we know the operator $\tilde{A}$ and source function $\tilde{f}$ only such as $||\tilde{A} - A||\leq \delta_1,$ $||\tilde{f}-f||< \delta_2.$ The regularizing equation $\tilde{A}x + B(\alpha)x = \tilde{f}$ possesses the unique solution. Here $\alpha \in S,$ $S$ is assumed to be an open space in $\mathbb{R}^n,$ $0 \in \overline{S},$ $\alpha= \alpha(\delta).$ As result of proposed theory, we suggest a novel algorithm providing accurate results even in the presence of a large amount of noise.

The numerical method for solution of the weakly regular scalar Volterra integral equation of the 1st kind is proposed. The kernels of such equations have jump discontinuities on the continuous curves which starts at the origin. The mid-rectangular quadrature rule is employed. The accuracy of proposed numerical method is $\mathcal{O}(1/N).$
