A Novel Generation Rescheduling Algorithm to Improve Power System Reliability With High Renewable Energy Penetration

The uncertainties of renewable energy may bring impacts to power system reliability. This paper proposes a novel generation rescheduling algorithm, which adjusts generation outputs to mitigate the variations of branch power flows and relieve the overload probability. This algorithm helps prevent power congestion and balance the aggregate renewable generations and loads in power systems. Besides, the paper also proposes a probabilistic method evaluating the system uncertainty issue in the power system considering generation rescheduling operation. The proposed generation rescheduling algorithm has been tested on the Arizona transmission system. The generation rescheduling method enhances power system reliability analysis with a high penetration of renewable energy resources.
