Two-Stage Robust Optimization Considering the Uncertainty of Sources and Loads in Virtual Power Plants by Shixun Qi, Duo Li, Liyong Hou, Haili Wang, Li Xin, Yaojie Jin, Yuanji Cai, Mingfei Ban

“…As the proportion of new energy in VPPs continues to rise, the impacts of the uncertainty of internal new energy output and load have become increasingly significant, and the demand for flexible resources has also become more urgent. To address the challenges of system operation optimization and resource allocation caused by the integration of a large amount of renewable energy on the supply side of the energy system into VPPs and the flexible and changeable load on the demand side, this paper proposes a distributed robust optimization method that simultaneously considers the uncertainties of both the source and the load. …”

“…SCG samples were characterized according to proximate analysis, elementary analysis, surface area, and pore volumes, then subjected to various processes (i.e., drying, carbonization, and chemical activation) with different operating parameters (temperature and time). The samples were optimized as follows: (1) Stable drying of SCG with a high moisture content of approximately 65% required consumption energy of 49 kWh/kg and drying at 105 °C for 20 h. (2) By comparing changes in the consumption energy and product yield with an increasing amount of carbon fraction, it was found that drying carbonization was more suitable than hydrothermal carbonization for SCG. …”
