Abstract
- In deregulated electricity markets, generation companies (GENCO) try to maximize their economic benefits considering the electricity demand, transmission network condition, and other participants' behaviors. The increasing penetration of renewable sources such as wind power generation with intermittent nature poses several challenges to the participation of GENCOs in the electricity market. Thus, this paper presents a stochastic bilevel optimization model to determine the coordinated bidding strategy of a wind-thermal GENCO with the aim of maximizing its profit in the day-ahead and real-time balancing market. Herein, the model aims to maximize the profit of GENCO in the day-ahead and the balancing market in the upper-level problem while minimizing the operation cost of the system in the lower-level problem. The uncertainties of wind power generation and electricity demand are modeled by defining a set of scenarios considering their mutual correlation using the copula technique. Additionally, incorporating AC power flow constraints in the proposed optimization model offers a better solution to the coordinated bidding strategy of the wind-thermal GENCO. Further, the nonlinear AC power flow equations are linearized using the piecewise approximation technique to reduce the computational complexity and enhance the accuracy of the optimal solution. In the end, the developed algorithm is implemented on the IEEE 24-bus RTS, and the simulation results are provided to validate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed coordinated bidding strategy model. The results advocate that the participation of the thermal unit along with the wind farm might mitigate the risk of uncertainties, but it causes an intense increase in the locational marginal price of the system. Importantly, the simulation results indicate the computational efficiency of the model by developing an exact AC power flow model without compromising the results. Notably, it has been found that the profit of the wind-thermal GENCO would be increased by 35.2% employing the copula technique to model the mutual correlation of uncertain parameters.
