Decision support system for integrated management of hydro-thermal-wind-solar hybrid energy system

Abstract

A decision support system is presented for integrated management of hydro-thermal-wind-solar hybrid energy system. Three main modules are included, data management module, operation conditions and constraints input module, and generation schedule optimization module. The DSS is designed based on an advanced technical framework and implemented using Java program-. Many user-friendly interfaces are available to enhance the usability and flexibility of all modules. Since 2016, the DSS has been used to make everyday quarter-hourly generation schedules of 170 hydropower plants, 150 wind plants, 80 solar plants, and 11 thermal plants operated by the dispatching center of Yunnan Power Grid. More than 1000 operational schemes have been carried out by all power plants.
