Wind-Power Scenarios for Stochastic Unit Commitment: The Cost of UncertaintyB.A. Rachunok 1,2 A. Staid 2 J.P. Watson 2 D. Yang 3,2 D. Woodruff 3
Power System Overview
Zhou, Yifan, et al. "Modeling and Optimization of Multitype Power Sources Stochastic Unit Commitment Using Interval Number Programming." Journal of Energy Engineering 143.5 (2017): 04017036.
• Independent System Operators: balance bulk power load with supply
• Supply comes from power generation• Load (demand) comes from residential and
commercial power use
1.Scenarios for tomorrow are generated using tomorrow’s forecast
2.Scenarios are used to optimally dispatch power generation
3.Dispatching is evaluated using tomorrow’s actual wind
4.Bulk power costs calculated5.Renewable curtailment calculated
Scenario EvaluationWe want to use scenarios to represent tomorrow’s supply uncertainty. How?
Representing Uncertainty
Planning for Tomorrow’s Power Needs
• Load is relatively easy to predict• Day-ahead renewable forecasts are uncertain• Over/underestimating supply is costly
Tomorrow’s Demand ✅

(1) Random Variate Sampling (Wang 2008)• Generates a fixed number of scenarios• Scenarios distributed normally• Centered around forecast• Highly dependent on forecast quality
(2) Quantile Regression (Pinson 2007)• Estimates quantiles of errors• Generates scenarios for fixed quantiles• No one scenario ‘looks’ realistic
(3) Epi-splines (Staid 2017)• Smoothed partition scenarios• Scenarios all have common points• Highly flexible in smoothness and partitions• Width adjusted probabilistically• Scenarios pass for reasonable• Ramps are consistent with actual wind

• Epi-splines have low load shedding• Also low total costs• Minimal scenarios needed à simpler optimization• Scenarios plausible to operators + decision makers• Balance minimal load shedding and curtailment
Scenarios are tested using real data in a power dispatching simulation
