Short-term resource scheduling for power systems with Energy Storage Systems

Energy Storage Systems (ESS) could be widely available in power systems, in which case the short-term scheduling is one of the essential problems that need to be addressed. This paper presents a resources scheduling method for the optimal operation plan with the energy storage systems, which utilizes the Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) based on the branch and bound method. The proposed method is evaluated on two case studies. One study examines a daily optimal operational plan for power supply resources and energy storage systems in an isolated micro-grid system. Another examines the optimal operational plan in a conventional power system with a large-scale energy storage system.
