Abstract:

The joint operation of wind power and energy storage can effectively deal with the uncertainty of wind power output and improve the competitiveness of wind power. However, optimizing and dispatching the joint operation of energy storage and wind power is a major difficulty. A day-ahead optimal scheduling method of the wind storage joint system based on improved K-means and multi-agent deep deterministic strategy gradient (MADDPG) algorithm is proposed to maximize the benefits of a wind-storage joint operation by ensuring the adjustable capacity of energy storage. First, the improved K-Means clustering algorithm optimized by the firefly algorithm is used to achieve energy storage grouping; then, the wind power and the grouped energy storage equipment are modeled as different agents to form a multi-agent system. The MADDPG algorithm is used to solve the problem, and the MADDPG algorithm's state space, action space, and reward function are designed. Finally, a simulation example is used to validate the algorithm. The results show that, when compared to conventional deep reinforcement learning, the proposed scheduling strategy can better coordinate the operation of wind power and energy storage, effectively smooth the fluctuation of wind power output, and improve the operating income of the wind storage combined system.
