Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Worldwide, clean energy resources such as wind power, solar power, and hydropower are being widely exploited and integrated into power systems to alleviate and overcome the severe energy crisis, climate warming and environmental pollution. However, managing and dispatching such energy systems is greatly challenging. There are strong needs for the generation scheduling, power prediction, coordinated operations, market bidding, market clearing, and decision-making analysis of large-scale clean energy systems. This Special Issue aims to gather advanced research on clean energy and electricity market from either academia or industry. Potential topics include—but are not limited to—the following:

  • Coordinated operations of multi-type clean power plants;
  • Optimization algorithms for generation scheduling;
  • Power prediction of new energy power plants;
  • Uncertainty analysis of power generation
  • Market bidding of clean power plants;
  • Market clearing for clean energy systems;
  • Decision support systems for managing and operating clean energy systems.

China’s electricity market reform has posed a real challenge to the large-scale hydropower system. Taking the world’s largest watershed hydropower system, the Three Gorges large hydropower system (TGLHS), as the engineering background, this study analyzes the issues and strategies of dispatching and trading in the electricity market. The analysis indicates that the TGLHS exhibits unique difficulties because of transprovincial and transregional power transmission. Major issues including the multi-dimensional and multi-time-scale nested allocation of hydropower energy, the bidding and performance of cascaded hydropower plants in multiple electricity markets, as well as multiple uncertainties in the runoff; electricity prices in multiple markets are also elaborated upon. The corresponding suggested strategies are proposed to cope with the aforementioned issues: (1) for multi-dimensional and multi-scale nested allocation problems, it is necessary to comprehensively consider monthly market transactions and priority generation plans, and establish a profit maximization model; (2) propose a bidding decision-making linkage and segmented bidding optimization model for cascades upstream and downstream hydropower stations; (3) construct a model for decomposing the annual and monthly planned electricity consumption curves and developing operational plans for giant cascade power stations that are suitable for cross-provincial and cross-regional power transmission and transformation; (4) a runoff, electricity price, and market distribution model has been proposed, laying the foundation for further research on multi-scale optimization models for hydropower. Finally, prospects for research on the participation of large-scale hydropower systems in the electricity market are summarized, expecting to promote the marketization of large cascaded hydropower systems. The dispatching and trading of the TGLHS implies that it is important and necessary to explore market theories and methods considering hydropower characteristics and operation needs. Full article

Since hybrid power plants (HPPs) play an intensive role in the energy supply balance of future energy systems, there is today increased attention on co-located wind–battery HPPs both in industry and academia. This paper proposes an energy management system (EMS) methodology for wind–battery plants participating in two sequential electricity markets, namely in the spot market (SM) and the balancing market (BM). The proposed and implemented EMS consists of day-ahead (DA) spot market optimization, hour-ahead (HA) balancing market optimization, and intra-hour re-dispatch optimization to allow HPPs to achieve energy arbitrage, to offer regulation power at the HA stage, and to reduce real-time imbalances. The optimization models used in the EMS incorporate an accurate battery degradation model and grid connection constraints. This paper presents a detailed case analysis of the profitability of HPPs in markets towards 2030 based on the proposed EMS. Furthermore, the value of intra-hour re-dispatch optimization in improving the feasibility of generation plans, as well as the impacts of overplanting on wind energy curtailment and battery degradation, is also investigated based on the proposed EMS.

The circular economy is an economic concept opposite to the current linear system. One of its main principles is to seek to minimise waste by reusing seemingly useless raw materials. Biogas plants are places where energy can be recovered from waste. In order to boost the environmental benefits of this concept, it is important to rely on local systems (including supply chains). Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine whether biogas plants in Poland operate in a circular manner from the perspective of locality. The analysis was based on questionnaire surveys concerning the nature of the facilities’ operations, divided into biogas plants located at sewage treatment plants, biogas plants based on municipal waste and agricultural biogas plants. On the basis of the data obtained, statistical and spatial analyses were carried out to verify the installed capacity of the facilities, the distance from which they obtain their substrate and the use of the biogas produced. The results of the study confirm that the functioning of biogas plants located in Poland is, in most cases, of a local character, fitting into the objectives of a circular economy. Biogas plants that are characterised by the lowest transportation needs are biogas plants located next to sewage treatment plants. Full article
