Multi-Timescale Modeling Framework of Hybrid Power Plants Providing Secondary Frequency Regulation by Yuxin Deng, Xin Fang, Ningchao Gao, Jin Tan

“…Existing studies on HPP modeling often separate dynamic control from steady-state scheduling and lack coordinated integration of self-scheduling of HPPs with the system-level scheduling, leading to over/under estimation of the flexibility of HPPs. To address this challenge, this paper presents a generic modeling framework for HPPs that integrates steady-state optimization with dynamic control across multiple timescales, enabling seamless HPP participation in day-ahead and real-time markets and real-time control. …”
