Optimal Operation Scheduling Considering Cycle Aging of Battery Energy Storage Systems on Stochastic Unit Commitments in Microgrids
Abstract

1.1. Background
1.2. Literature Review
1.3. Contributions and Paper Organization
- Considering the uncertain characteristics of WTs, PVs, and load, historical data are generated through MCS based on the distribution function of each uncertain variable. The generated scenarios are reduced to cluster scenarios with a similar dense distribution through K-means clustering.
- Using the rainflow-counting algorithm, the SOC profile of the BESS is expressed as a charging/discharging cycle. By partially linearizing the nonlinear cycle aging stress function through linear approximation, the DOD cycle aging is formulated in the SUC problem.
- Using Benders decomposition (BD), the proposed optimal BESS scheduling is formulated as a master problem and a set of subproblems via parallel processing. In BD, the master problem solves SUC only through MILP without considering the BESS. The subproblem set derives the optimal operation scheduling considering the cycle aging of the BESS.
- The superiority of the proposed optimal BESS operation scheduling is shown by comparison with other cases. The simulation results confirm that the proposed scheduling is more effective at reducing the TOC and LCC simultaneously, while the life cycle of the BESS also increases significantly. Furthermore, by implementing BD, the convergence speed of the optimization process is improved in comparison with the cases without BD.
