The generation company managing the power system can place bids on the real-time energy market (the so-called regulating market) in order to balance its loads and/or to make profit. Prices, demands and intermittent power injections are considered to be stochastic processes and the goal is to compute power injections for the conventional power generators, charge and discharge levels for the storage units and exchanged power with the rest of the grid that minimize operating and trading costs. We propose a scenario-based stochastic model predictive control algorithm to solve the real-time market-based optimal power dispatch problem. date: 2011-12 publisher: IEEE pagerange: 7111 -7116 event_title: Decision and Control and European Control Conference (CDC-ECC), 2011 50th IEEE Conference on id_number: 10.1109/CDC.2011.6160798 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-61284-800-6 book_title: Proceedings of the 50th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference (CDC-ECC) official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6160798&isnumber=6159299 projects: European project E-PRICE: Price-based Control of Electrical Power Systems, FP7-IST contract no. 249096. citation: Patrinos, Panagiotis and Trimboli, Sergio and Bemporad, Alberto Stochastic MPC for real-time market-based optimal power dispatch.
