Power systems – Control and management of innovative pumped storage systems and hydropower units in energy transition era
[Closed]
Work description
Hydropower units and PSPs will have an important role in maintaining the dispatchability of future power systems in the presence of renewable energy sources. However, the power fluctuations of renewable energy sources can expedite the degradation of these units and decrease their lifetime. In this regard, an effective control and management strategy for innovative PSP and hydropower units integrated with PV-BESS not only extends component lifetimes but also enhances the system’s economic benefits by improving its capability to participate in ancillary service markets. The expected works in this area regarding the given description is as follows: - Assessment of the wear and tear of different components in the hybridized PSP and hydropower systems - Development of frameworks/tools for the optimal energy management and control of the hybridized PSP and hydropower systems considering the wear and tear of the components. - Evaluation of the effect of participating in ancillary service market on the system. - Expanding the control and energy management strategies considering the participation in the ancillary service markets. - Preparation of the reports and presenting the results of the project in the conferences and as journal publications.
