Unit commitment with primary frequency regulation constraints in electric power systems

The unit commitment problem with secondary and tertiary reserve requirements with time constants ranging from two to thirty minutes has been broadly studied in electric power systems. In contrast, the scheduling of units offering primary frequency regulation reserve deployable within seconds of a co...

description The unit commitment problem with secondary and tertiary reserve requirements with time constants ranging from two to thirty minutes has been broadly studied in electric power systems. In contrast, the scheduling of units offering primary frequency regulation reserve deployable within seconds of a contingency has received relatively little attention. In this dissertation we formulate and solve a unit commitment problem explicitly accounting for the characteristic that primary frequency regulation has a single common degree of freedom, namely, the system frequency deviation. The simultaneous scheduling of energy, primary and tertiary reserves is then studied through a number of cases of up to 34 generating units. === Le problème de la planification de l’opération des unités de production d’électricité comprenant des spécifications des niveaux de régulation secondaire et tertiaire (celles-ci agissant sur un horizon de temps compris entre deux et trente minutes) a été amplement étudié.
