Two-stage Robust Unit Commitment with Wind Farms and Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Systems under Typhoons

To enhance the resilience of transmission networks with offshore wind farms (OWFs) and pump hydro energy storage systems (PHESSs) towards typhoons, a resilient unit commitment scheme is proposed. This problem is formulated as a two-stage robust optimization problem, where the uncertain impacts of typhoons on OWF output, transmission line failures, and demands are captured by a robust uncertain set with chance constraints. This uncertainty set is embedded into a two-stage robust unit commitment model, where the commitment of thermal units is optimized in the first-stage and PHESSs are scheduled in the second-stage optimization as the emergency resources. The two-stage robust optimization problem is solved using the column and constraint generation (C&CG) algorithm. Simulations are performed on the modified IEEE-RTS test systems with real OWF output during Typhoon Higos, and the effectiveness of proposed scheme is verified regarding the reduction of worst case load shedding.
