This study proposes a stochastic optimisation model for the day-ahead scheduling in power
systems, which incorporates the hourly demand response (DR) for managing the variability
of renewable energy sources (RES). DR considers physical and operating constraints of the
hourly demand for economic and reliability responses. The proposed stochastic day-ahead
scheduling algorithm considers random outages of system components and forecast errors
for hourly loads and RES. The Monte Carlo simulation is applied to create stochastic
security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) scenarios for the day-ahead scheduling. A
general-purpose mixed-integer linear problem software is employed to solve the stochastic
SCUC problem. The numerical results demonstrate the benefits of applying DR to the
proposed day-ahead scheduling with variable RES.
Notes on the structure of the Abstract.
The Abstract is 1 paragraph in length and comprises 6 sentences using 114 words.
Each sentence summarises one key aspect.
The first sentence describes the nature of the whole piece of wok (the study in this case, your report
in your case).
The 2nd sentence describes the main issue (in this case Demand Response).
The 3rd sentrence describes what this work achieves.
The 4th and 5th sentences describe how the work (in this case simulation) is achieved.
The final sentence provides a summary of the outcome of the work.
No references or figures should be included in the Abstract.
