Abstract

Operational optimization of energy systems needs to consider both forecast uncertainty and long-term constraints. Long-term constraints are often introduced by regulations such as network charge reduction policies. In principle, uncertainty can be handled via receding horizon optimization (RHO), which frequently optimizes the operation schedule based on updated forecast data. As fast reoptimization is required in real-time control applications, RHO typically considers the near-term future only and neglects long-term constraints. To explicitly account for long-term constraints in RHO, we propose a hybrid time-series approach that extends the high-resolution detailed block for near-term operation by an aggregated block for the more distant future. The aggregated block is constructed using the k-medoids algorithm. The new approach is applied to a case study and shown to adequately consider long-term constraints with a short computation time. In particular, we reduce operational expenditures by 5.4 % compared to a benchmark RHO that relies on a typical near-term prediction horizon of 48 h. The computation time for a single reoptimization is reduced by four orders of magnitude compared to the problem with the full-resolution time-series. Thus, the hybrid time-series approach enables the efficient operational optimization of energy systems with long-term constraints. © ECOS 2019 - Proceedings of the 32nd International Conference on Efficiency, Cost, Optimization, Simulation and Environmental Impact of Energy Systems.
