Systems, methods and apparatus for improved energy management systems with security constrained dynamic dispatch for wind power management
First Claim
1. A method of controlling an energy delivery system having a windfarm including a plurality of wind powered electric generators, and further having a plurality of non-wind powered electric generators, the method comprising:
- providing an energy management system (EMS) communicatively coupled to the plurality of non-wind powered electric generators and the plurality of wind powered electric generators, the EMS including a wind power management (WPM) system, the WPM system including a WPM application that includes a security constrained dynamic dispatch (SCDD) application;
receiving input data within the SCDD application, the input data including real time telemetry, schedule input data, and critical constraint data;
validating the input data for consistency to avoid infeasibilities, and to produce validated input data;
pre-processing the validated input data to determine a first set of parameters including a total generation amount to be dispatched and additional parameters;
formulating an optimization model based on the first set of parameters and one or more data structures storing the validated input data;
executing an optimization process on the optimization model to compute a solution;
post-processing the solution to determine economic basepoints for the windfarm and for the non-wind powered electric generators;
producing a setpoint for the windfarm, such that an amount of power from the wind powered electric generators that is put into the energy delivery system is maximized within a set of security constraints of the energy delivery system;
communicating the setpoint for the windfarm to a remote terminal unit at the windfarm;
operating the plurality of wind powered electric generators of the windfarm to generate power in accordance with the setpoint communicated to the remote terminal unit at the windfarm; and
transmitting the amount of power from the wind powered electric generators via the energy delivery system.
