Day-Ahead Dispatch of Integrated Electricity and Natural Gas System Considering Reserve Scheduling and Renewable Uncertainties

For secure operation of integrated electricity and natural gas system (IEGS), reserve is a useful support to manage renewable uncertainties and N − 1 contingencies. Thus, a day-ahead economic dispatch model of IEGS with reserve scheduling is presented in this paper. Considering the uncertainty of gas flow direction, a novel second-order cone (SOC) relaxation of Weymouth equation is designed to address the nonconvexity. Then, the proposed robust nonconvex model is mathematically transformed into a solvable mixed integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP) problem. To guarantee the tightness of SOC relaxation and achieve accurate dispatch solutions, MISOCP results are corrected accordingly by the multi-slack-node gas flow calculation with the Newton–Raphson method. Numerical cases are performed on IEEE 39-bus-15-node and IEEE 118-bus-40-node test IEGSs, demonstrating the proposed approach is feasible and effective for exact IEGS day-ahead dispatch and the proposed MISOCP model can provide a more economic dispatch solution with a shorter computational time than conventional MISOCP and mixed integer linear programming (MILP) models.
