As renewable energy has become more viable, interest in how uncertainties in power systems are handled has increased. To handle increased uncertainties, system operators utilize the spinning reserve. Here, we present a method for using energy storage systems (ESS) as ancillary service resources, especially as a spinning reserve. The dominant feature of ESS is energy-constrained; thus, the method applied to general generators is necessary to be enhanced in order to utilize ESS as a spinning reserve resource. We propose a method for redefining the ESS reserve margin as the discrepancy between the charging and discharging capacities considering a reference scenario and other scenarios in the stochastic optimization of unit commitment. The various scenarios that are compared to the reference scenario are generated by considering forecast uncertainties of load and renewable output; then, the appropriate number of scenarios are selected by applying the scenario reduction technique. To validate the proposed method, we performed case studies on the IEEE 24-bus and 118-bus test systems. The proposed method will help reduce the operation costs by 4.13% in a case of the IEEE 24-bus; furthermore, improvements in load shedding and renewable curtailment have been identified through diverse cases.
