  • Comparison between deterministic and meta-heuristic methods applied to ancillary services dispatch
    Publication . Vale, Zita; Ramos, Carlos; Faria, Pedro; Soares, João; Canizes, Bruno; Teixeira, Joaquim; Khodr, H. M.
    This paper proposes two meta-heuristics (Genetic Algorithm and Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization) for solving a 15 bid-based case of Ancillary Services Dispatch in an Electricity Market. A Linear Programming approach is also included for comparison purposes. A test case based on the dispatch of Regulation Down, Regulation Up, Spinning Reserve and Non-Spinning Reserve services is used to demonstrate that the use of meta-heuristics is suitable for solving this kind of optimization problem. Faster execution times and lower computational resources requirements are the most relevant advantages of the used meta-heuristics when compared with the Linear Programming approach.

  • Long-Term Smart Grid Planning Under Uncertainty Considering Reliability Indexes
    Publication . Canizes, Bruno; Soares, João; Fotouhi Ghazvini, Mohammad Ali; Silva, Cátia; Vale, Zita; Corchado, Juan M.
    The electricity sector is fast moving towards a new era of clean generation devices dispersed along the network. On one hand, this will largely contribute to achieve the multi-national environment goals agreed via political means. On the other hand, network operators face new complexities and challenges regarding network planning due to the large uncertainties associated with renewable generation and electric vehicles integration. In addition, due to new technologies such as combined heat and power (CHP), the district heat demand is considered in the long-term planning problem. The 13-bus medium voltage network is evaluated considering the possibility of CHP units but also without. Results demonstrate that CHP, together with heat-only boiler units, can supply the district heat demand and contribute to network reliability. They can also reduce the expected energy not supplied and the power losses cost, avoiding the need to invest in new power lines for the considered lifetime project.
