AbstractBattery electric storage systems (BESS) in the range of 1-10 MWh is a key technology allowing a more efficient operation of small electricity market producer. The aim of this work is to assess the economic viability of Li-ion based BESS systems for small electricity producers. The results of the ex-post economic analysis performed with real data from the Iberian Electricity Market shows the economic viability of a Li-ion based BESS thanks to the optimal operation in day-ahead and ancillary electricity markets.

AbstractThe use of stochastic programming to solve real instances of optimal bid problems in electricity market usually implies the solution of large scale mixed integer nonlinear optimization problems that can't be tackled with the available general purpose commercial optimisation software. In this work we show the potential of proximal bundle methods to solve large scale stochastic programming problems arising in electricity markets. Proximal bundle methods was used in the past to solve deterministic unit commitment problems and are extended in this work to solve real instances of stochastic optimal bid problems to the day-ahead market (with embedded unit commitment) with thousands of scenarios. A parallel implementation of the proximal bundle method has been developed to take profit of the separability of the lagrangean problem in as many subproblems as generation bid units. The parallel proximal bundle method (PPBM) is compared against general purpose commercial optimization software as well as against the perspective cuts algorithm, a method specially conceived to deal with quadratic objective function over semi-continuous domains. The reported numerical results obtained with a workstation with 32 threads show that the commercial software can’t find a solution beyond 50 scenarios and that the execution times of the proposed PPBM are as low as a 15% of the execution time of the perspective cut approach for problems beyond 800 scenarios.

AbstractEn este proyecto se ha propuesto un modelo estocástico de dos etapas para la gestión de energía en una microrred doméstica, introduciendo la participación en el mercado de banda de regulación. El objetivo del modelo es determinar la potencia que se oferta al mercado diario, teniendo en cuenta la participación en el mercado de banda de regulación. Se ha introducido estocasticidad en los precios de este mercado y en los precios y probabilidades del requerimiento a subir y a bajar de la energía de regulación secundaria. Se han comparado los beneficios de la microrred en caso de participar o no en el mercado de banda de regulación, y se ha visto que la participación en dicho mercado produce grandes beneficios para sus usuarios.
