For wind farms to participate in the combined energy-frequency regulation (E-FR) market, wind farms are considered as a combination of both power generation and frequency regulation capability, and wind farms bid in both the energy market and the FR market. In this paper, the impact of different bidding decisions on the distribution of wind farm revenues is analyzed in a process where the interest of two markets is played against each other. A wind power probability density prediction model of kernel extreme learning machine (KELM)-particle swarm optimization (PSO)-adaptive diffusion kernel density estimation (AKDE) is established using an improved extreme learning machine (KELM) with good fitting ability and the AKDE method, wind farm bidding is carried out on the premise of wind power probability prediction, which is optimally solved by the multi-objective quantum genetic algorithm, and the optimization results are filtered using entropy-fuzzy C-means clustering. Based on the actual wind farm operation data for simulation analysis, the model analyzes the benefits of wind farm participation in the joint market from different preference perspectives, which is a reference for wind farm participation in bidding decisions.

In-situ exploitation of oil shale by electric heating consumes large amounts of electricity. Under the existing dispatch system, using wind power output and photovoltaic power output to support the exploitation of oil shale can promote renewable energy use, reduce the consumption of coal and other fossil fuels, and protect the environment from pollution. In this study, the characteristics of the wind power and photovoltaic power output are analyzed, and the correlation between the power outputs is evaluated using the copula function. The load of exploiting oil shale is presented. In order to match the heating load characteristics of oil shale exploitation, a particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize the heating temperature of the heated well to minimize the cost. An economic analysis is conducted of five different power supply combinations, including wind power, photovoltaic power, and the existing power grid. The income ratio of the five modes is calculated using actual data of a project in Jilin province in China, and the feasibility of in-situ electric heating by wind power, photovoltaic power, and the power grid is determined. The results of this study provide useful references for decision makers to plan the power supply scheme for in-situ oil shale exploitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: As the installed capacity of wind power continues to increase, the problem of curtailed wind power is becoming serious in China, especially in the northern region during the winter heating season. To solve the problem of wind‐heat conflict during the heating period in the Three North area, an electric boiler with thermal storage (EBTS) is installed at the end of the grid where wind power is difficult to accommodate and using curtailed wind power to supply heat promotes local accommodation. In this paper, a multi‐objective optimization model of wind power accommodation based on the wind power–EBTS system for heating is established. The goals of maximizing wind power accommodation, minimizing the number of times EBTS must be adjusted, and minimizing operating costs are presented, and a bi‐level optimization scheme is designed. An improved multi‐objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to solve these functions, and an optimal compromise solution from the generated Pareto solution set is filtered using the fuzzy membership method. Based on actual data from a demonstration project in China's Jilin Province, the simulation results verify that this method can effectively reduce operating costs and improve wind power accommodation.

The intermittency and uncertainty of wind power result in challenges for large-scale wind power integration. Accurate wind power prediction is becoming increasingly important for power system planning and operation. In this paper, a probabilistic interval prediction method for wind power based on deep learning and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed. Variational mode decomposition (VMD) and phase space reconstruction are used to pre-process the original wind power data to obtain additional details and uncover hidden information in the data. Subsequently, a bi-level convolutional neural network is used to learn nonlinear features in the pre-processed wind power data for wind power forecasting. PSO is used to determine the uncertainty of the point-based wind power prediction and to obtain the probabilistic prediction interval of the wind power. Wind power data from a Chinese wind farm and modeled wind power data provided by the United States Renewable Energy Laboratory are used to conduct extensive tests of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method has competitive advantages for the point-based and probabilistic interval prediction of wind power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Day-ahead and real-time market bidding and scheduling strategy for wind power participation. • Shared energy storage is used to reduce the real-time market deviation penalty of wind power. • Analyze the influence of deviation penalty coefficient on wind power bidding. • Analyze the impact of energy storage capacity on the income of wind farms and energy storage operator. In order to reduce the impact of wind power output and electricity price uncertainty on the income of wind power participating in the electricity market, this paper proposes a day-ahead and real-time market bidding and scheduling strategy for wind power participation based on shared energy storage. In the first stage, considering the uncertainty of wind power output and electricity price, aiming at the maximum income of wind farms in the day-ahead market, the optimal bidding power of each wind farm in the day-ahead market is obtained by using quantum genetic algorithm. In the second stage, based on the day-ahead market winning bid volume and actual output, by coordinating each wind farm to use the charging and discharging services of the shared energy storage power station, the net income of multiple wind farms in the day-ahead and real-time market is maximized. Case studies are carried out with three wind farms and one shared energy storage operator in this paper. Compared with the modes that wind farms not configuring energy storage or configuring energy storage independently, it is verified that the shared energy storage can significantly reduce the deviation penalty of wind farms in the real-time market and improve wind farm income.
