Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a two-stage scheduling framework to integrate peak shaving and frequency regulation in low-inertia power systems.
  • Developed a two-stage framework to address peak shaving and frequency regulation issues.
  • Stage I incorporates frequency constraints into security-constrained unit commitment.
  • Stage II ensures reserve allocation and applies bandwidth deduction for frequency support.
  • Explicit frequency constraints eliminated all post-contingency violations.
  • The method closed a 23.85 MW reserve gap after redispatch.
  • Peak-shaving ratio increased to 45.85%, with reduced day-ahead cost to 10.483 million CNY.

Abstract

As power-electronic-interfaced renewable generation displaces synchronous machines, modern power systems face coupled day-ahead challenges: net-load variability demands peak shaving, while declining inertia necessitates explicit frequency-regulation scheduling. In sequential security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) and Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED), the reserve procured in SCUC may lose deliverability after redispatch because the same storage bandwidth is reassigned to energy service. This paper proposes a two-stage day-ahead framework that addresses both challenges for low-inertia systems with high inverter-based resource (IBR) penetration. Stage I embeds Rate-of-Change of Frequency (RoCoF), frequency nadir, and quasi-steady-state (QSS) constraints in SCUC, with a piecewise-linear outer approximation for the non-convex nadir limit. Stage II strictly inherits the SCUC commitment and reserve reservation, and it applies bandwidth deduction to prevent peak-shaving redispatch from consuming committed frequency reserve. A technology-aware partition further assigns fast-response Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries to sub-second frequency support and long-duration Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) to energy shifting. Evaluated under the adopted reduced-order frequency-response framework and disturbance representation, tests on a modified IEEE 39-bus system under an extreme-wind scenario demonstrate that explicit frequency constraints eliminate all post-contingency violations, the inheritance mechanism closes a 23.85 MW reserve gap after redispatch, and heterogeneous storage partitioning preserves essentially the same disturbance sensitivity while increasing the peak-shaving ratio to 45.85%, lowering the day-ahead cost to CNY 10.483×106 and reducing the average system price to 209.33 CNY/MWh.
