About this book

This book addresses the pressing challenges faced by renewable power system operation (RPSO) due to the increasing penetration of renewable energy and flexible load. These challenges can be divided into two categories. Firstly, the inherent uncertainties associated with renewable energy sources pose significant difficulties in RPSO. Secondly, the presence of various types of flexible load, along with their complex constraint relationships, adds to the operational complexities. Recognizing the growing emphasis on the economic and low-carbon aspects of RPSO, this book focuses on the key issues of flexible load control. It mainly consists of following categories: (1) The control of data centers, a booming flexible load, to enhance RPSO through renewable energy integration and advanced robust multi-objective optimization. (2) The introduction of flexible industrial load control, employing effective demand-supply cooperative responding strategies for RPSO. (3) The exploration of electricvehicle flexible charging load control and centralized electric vehicle charging system control in the context of RPSO. The book also covers the emerging field of flexible integrated load control for renewable energy-based comprehensive energy system operation. Aimed at researchers, engineers, and graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science, this book provides a valuable resource for understanding and implementing flexible load control in the context of RPSO.

Chapter 1. Overview of Flexible Load Control
Abstract
Flexible load control refers to the ability to manage and adjust the consumption of electrical loads in response to changing energy supply and demand conditions.

Chapter 2. Data Center Flexible Load Control for Renewable Energy Integration
Abstract
Data center microgrids (DCMGs) have been recently established to address the above challenging issues of electricity cost and environmental impact. Therein, various work have contributed to reduce the cost of DCs.

Chapter 3. Data Center Load Control Based Microgrid Operation via Robust Multi-objective Optimization
Abstract
With the development of information technology, such as big data, internet of things, and cloud computing, the demands for data storage, computing, and processing are growing explosively.

Chapter 4. Collaborative Response of Data Center Coupled with Hydrogen Storage System for Renewable Energy Absortion: A Global Interval Optimization Approach
Abstract
To replace the conventional thermal power on the supply side, the connection of high-capacity renewable energy, such as wind power (WP) is considered to be one of the effective methods.

Chapter 5. Flexible Industrial Load Control for Renewable Power System Operation
Abstract
Renewable energy (RE) has been deployed significantly in recent years. Obviously, it is a suitable substitute of traditional thermal generators to achieve sustainable development of the world (Zhao et al. in IEEE Trans Ind Inform 16(5):3460–3469, 2020; Kumar et al. in IEEE Trans Ind Inform 15(5):2947–2957, 2019; Rehmani et al. in IEEE Trans Ind Inform 14(7):2814–2825, 2018). Taking wind power as an example, its installed capacity has reached 1.84 million kilowatts by the year of 2018, accounting for 9.7% of the total generation capacity in China, and is predicted to be 24 million kilowatts and 33.8% by 2030 (China 2050 high renewable energy penetration scenario and roadmap study, 2015). However, the utilization of available RE is not effective with the increasing of the installed wind power capacity. For instance, wind power curtailment rates in some provinces of China, such as Xinjiang, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia, were as high as 23% in the year of 2018 (National Energy Administration, 2018). Therefore, it is essential to enhance the utilization of RE to further support its development (Tushar et al. in IEEE Trans Ind Inform 14(1):117–126, 2018; Wu et al. in IEEE Trans Power Syst 31(6):4185–4196, 2016).

Chapter 6. Demand–Supply Cooperative Responding Strategy in Power System with High Renewable Energy Penetration
Abstract
Currently, human development is significantly constrained by energy and environmental crises. Renewable energy (RE) is considered as the solution for replacing conventional energy, because it is more environmentally friendly (Yang et al. in Proceedings of the 2017 IEEE 56th Annual Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), pp 6334–6339, 2017; Dou et al. in IEEE Trans Control Syst Technol 30(6):2561–2572, 2022; Rather et al. in IEEE Trans Power Syst 30(5):2516–2526, 2015). As an important form of RE, the installed capacity of wind power (WP) has reached 3.28 million kilo-watts in 2021, accounting for 13.9% of the total generation capacity in China, and is predicted to be 24 million kilowatts and 33.8% by 2050 (The Energy Foundation in China 2050 high renewable energy penetration scenario and roadmap study, 2015). However, the unpredictable significant fluctuations of RE supply will cause an adverse effect on the secure and economic operation of the power system. Thus, effective methods are needed to study to deal with this problem involving RE uncertainty (Cao et al. in IEEE Trans Power Syst 31(4):3073–3081, 2016; Wu et al. in IEEE Trans Power Syst 31(6):4185–4196, 2016).

Chapter 7. Battery Swapping Control for Centralized Electric Vehicle Charging System with Photovoltaic
Abstract
In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) and their charging stations have been extensively utilized to promote clean, efficient, and sustainable energy development (Liu et al. in IEEE Trans Ind Electr 62:2560–2570, 2015; Ding et al. in IEEE Trans Ind Appl 54:5590–5598, 2018; Chaudhari et al. in IEEE Trans Ind Inform 14:106–116, 2018). The International Energy Agency predicts that the number of EVs will surpass 12.9 million by 2020 (Global EV Outlook 2016 in International Energy Agency, Paris, 2017). However, the widespread adoption of EVs poses challenges to the reliable and stable functioning of the power grid due to the significant impact on power systems caused by the substantial charging requirements, which can alter the distribution of loads across different locations and time periods.

Chapter 8. Electric Vehicle Flexible Charging Load Control for Comprehensive Energy System Operation with Renewable Energy
Abstract
In the present day, the sustainable development of modern society is threatened by the energy crisis and global warming. Efficient use of renewable generations (RGs) such as wind turbines (WT) and photovoltaic (PV), and rapid advancements in electric vehicles (EVs) present an opportunity to address these issues (Lv et al. in IEEE Trans Industr Inf 16:3540–3547, 1). As an effective mediator of renewable energy resources, an integrated energy system (IES) can effectively merge various types of distributed energy, loads, energy storage and other devices and control systems to meet the multi-energy demands of the user (Wang et al. in IEEE Trans Sustain Energy 10:1939–1949, 2).

Chapter 9. Optimal Scheduling of Integrated Demand Response-Enabled Community Integrated Energy Systems in Uncertain Environments
Abstract
Environmental pollution and the depletion of traditional fossil fuels are pressing concerns. As a response, the international community is pursuing the development of renewable generation (RG) and improvements in energy efficiency (Wang et al. in Nat Commun 11:1–11, 2020;Ding et al. in IEEE Trans Ind Appl 55:2198–2207, 2019;). The integration of electrical and natural gas systems has been increasing due to advancements in power-to-gas (P2G) and micro-gas turbine (MT) technologies. Environmental pollution and the depletion of traditional fossil fuels are pressing concerns.

Chapter 10. Data-Driven Distributionally Robust Scheduling of Community Comprehensive Energy Systems Considering Integrated Load Control
Abstract
Recently, the depletion of fossil fuels and escalating environmental pollution have emerged as primary challenges confronting human civilization. The advent and progression of renewable generations (RGs) present a viable solution to such issues (Potrč et al. in Renew Sustain Energy Rev 146:111186, 2021). A prominent illustration of this solution and an integral contributor to the evolution of the energy internet is the Community Integrated Energy System (CIES) (Li et al. in J Clean Prod 378:134540, 2022).
