To promote investment in the electricity sector, the deregulated electricity market regime has created an enabling environment to accelerate the all-around development of power generation, transmission and distribution systems. RE-based power generation is proliferating in the power sectors worldwide. Participation of large numbers of market players, and massive penetration of RE-generation have created enough complexities and has made fundamental changes in the deregulated electricity market conditions. Small scale RE generating units have limited participation in the electricity markets due to the uncertainties. These units integrate with other fossil fuel plants and forms as Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). Increasing participation of RE based VPPs in the competitive electricity market, has brought out further complexity in market operation primarily in terms of its generation scheduling, economic profitability, etc. In this paper a two-stage stochastic programming approach for optimal scheduling of VPPs in the electricity markets is presented, along with modeling of uncertainties in the electricity market price, available level of stochastic renewable generation and the request for reverse deployment. These uncertainties are modeled using scenario bounds and are formulated using stochastic programming approach. Simulation results are carried out on 4-h planning horizon.

An isolated microgrid system with renewable sources and energy storage systems ensures sustainable access to electricity and is especially suitable to handle inadequate electrical infrastructure in rural areas. The capacity configuration of the system depends on the uncertainties of renewable energy sources and home user behaviour, and the stochastic behaviour of electric vehicle (EV) users. This study determines the optimal configuration of the isolated microgrid that comprises wind and photovoltaic generation systems as well as batteries and EVs by proposing a two-stage stochastic programming -based multi-objective optimization problem where the objective functions are minimization of the life cycle cost and reliability. The problem is solved using the deterministic equivalent of the stochastic programming model to find the exact solution. The scenarios in the model are generated for one year period to consider the effects of uncertainties throughout seasons. Cases for different roles and configurations of electric vehicles are simulated and analysed to compare their impacts on the sizing of the microgrid. Also, the effects of charger size on the microgrid configuration are investigated through simulations. The simulation results show that a slight increase in LPSP values causes a drop in cost values of around 10%-20% in each EV scenario. The minimum cost is obtained when more efficient charge & discharge plugs for EVs are used. Furthermore, the robustness of the model results is observed through repeated experiments with different random parameters.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The problem of selective maintenance exists in many multicomponent systems carrying out an alternating sequence of missions, with scheduled breaks where only a limited number of components can be maintained due to time limit. In this paper, a stochastic programming approach is proposed for determining an optimum maintenance plan to minimize maintenance costs and expected failure costs, while maximizing the probability of successful accomplishment of the next mission under uncertainties in future operating conditions. Traditionally, future operating conditions that affect failure time distribution when calculating reliability in selective maintenance models were assumed as deterministic. In this study, future operating conditions are assumed to be uncertain. The system is subject to several uncertain condition scenarios of exposure, conditional, usage, stress, etc. Each scenario is modeled with its associated occurrence probability. The presented model is a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer nonlinear programming model with fixed recourse, where the first stage is associated with maintenance decisions made before uncertainties are revealed, and the second stage is modeled as a recourse function which is related to the occurrence probability of system failure. A numerical example of a series-parallel system is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested model.

We present a transmission expansion planning model to find the most desirable configuration of transmission grid under the robust optimization. Unlike the common existing approaches where only one uncertainty set is considered, we propose to model multiple uncertainty sets each with its own probability. In this regard, we devise a method to construct the corresponding uncertainty sets from the historical data based on minimum covering circle. Moreover, we introduce a new criterion for uncertainty budget based on which the planner can efficiently control the conservative level of the optimization problem. Using this new criterion, the planner is capable to make a trade-off between the tractability and solution quality. The robust planning method is formulated as a tri-level min-max-min optimization model in which the classic column-and-constraint generation technique is used to solve the problem. The proposed strategy is implemented on the IEEE 118-bus power system to show the effectiveness of the model. The results indicate the short-term uncertainties in demand and intermittent renewable generation can be efficiently captured by the presented strategy. The comparable results also corroborate the superiority of the model over the single uncertainty-set-based models as well as over the pure stochastic models. (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.

Increasing the penetration level of renewable energy sources (RESs) has been a key energy policy for international societies seeking to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. However, the growing integration of wind power into the electric network would alter the system characteristics since the inverter-based RESs weaken the grid strength. Therefore, it becomes necessary to include the system strength in the wind power investment problem (WPIP). In this regard and with being subject to wind production and electric load uncertainty, this paper presents a stochastic programming approach for WPIP considering the grid strength index. For this purpose, a bi-level model is presented whose upper level seeks to maximize the profit of a private investor while respecting the system strength requirement. In the lower level, the market-clearing problem is formulated under different operating conditions. Unlike the common approaches, which employ a DC model to represent the electric network, an approximated yet efficient AC model is utilized. Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions are employed to transform the stochastic bi-level problem into a bilinear single-level problem which is solved using Konno's cutting plane algorithm. IEEE 118-bus system is used to exhibit the efficiency of the proposed model for wind power investment. (C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A challenge faced by contractors attempting to implement Building Information Modelling (BIM) is deciding on the functions that BIM needs to be implemented for, along with the associated level of development (LOD). This study proposes a 2-stage stochastic optimisation model for planning the BIM implementation at the strategic level for organisations. The proposed approach accounts for learning curve effects associated with acquiring BIM skills and the uncertain demand for BIM usage due to other emerging technologies. The results indicated that BIM implementation can reduce the technology costs by up to 200%, in contrast to not implementing BIM;however, organisations are likely to experience a 5% cost increment at the beginning until 50 learning cycles. The proposed method is designed to assist decision-makers on whether BIM should be implemented at their firms, and if so, what functions to implement and what LOD to associate with developed models.

Plant availability and operating uncertainties are critical considerations for the design and operation of chemical processes as they directly impact service level and economic performance. This paper proposes a two-stage stochastic programming GDP (Generalized Disjunctive programming) model with reliability constraints to deal with both the exogenous and endogenous uncertainties in process synthesis, where the reliability model is incorporated into the flowsheet superstructure optimization. The proposed stochastic programming model anticipates the market uncertainties through scenarios for selecting the optimal flowsheet topology, equipment sizes and operating conditions, while considering the impact of selecting parallel units for improving plant availability. An improved logic-based outer approximation algorithm is applied to solve the resulting hybrid GDP model, which effectively avoids numerical difficulties with zero flows and provides high quality design solutions. The applicability of the proposed modeling framework and the efficiency of solution strategy are illustrated with two well-known conceptual design case studies: methanol synthesis process and toluene hydrodealkylation process. The model, which integrates reliability (endogenous uncertainty) and exogenous uncertainty, shows the best economic performance with the increasing operational flexibility and plant availability.
