Optimal Scheduling Strategy for Power Systems Containing Offshore Wind Farms Considering Wind Power Uncertainty.

The wind power interval prediction of offshore wind farms and power plan arrangement of conventional thermal power units are of vital importance in the consumption of offshore wind power, the reduction of greenhouse gas impact on the environment, and the electric power system safe and economic operating. With the purpose of selecting the appropriate Copula function on the basis of the results of wind speed and wind power normal test, establish the mathematical model of wind-fire joint optimal scheduling, and optimize coal-fired power units power generation after comparing the convergence performance of particle swarm optimization method and crow search algorithm. Results indicate that the selected Copula function meets the expected criteria, and the optimized thermal unit climbs more smoothly and through the optimization of CSA the complete economic consumption of running is lessened. An idea is presented by this paper, which considers the uncertainties of offshore wind power generation, and the basis for the operational performance of CSA over PSO, and which provides a joint wind-thermal economic optimal dispatch strategy.
