The paper presents a procedure for the optimal operation of a community of prosumers connected to a medium voltage distribution network equipped with generation and storage units that considers the penalization for low power factor operation, the exploitation of direct exchanges of both active and reactive power between the prosumers and the provision of reactive power services by the community to the local distribution system operator and the transmission system operator. The proposed procedure calculates the maximum and minimum reactive power deviations that each community participant can provide with respect to the reference profile. A deterministic day-ahead scheduling problem is considered assuming the forecast of load and photovoltaic production known without uncertainties. The formulation of the optimization problems and the solution computational requirements are suitable for the inclusion in a stochastic approach. The effectiveness of the approach is supported by numerical simulations of the daily scheduling for different test cases.

Abstract

The paper presents a procedure for the optimal operation of a community of prosumers connected to a medium voltage distribution network equipped with generation and storage units that considers the penalization for low power factor operation, the exploitation of direct exchanges of both active and reactive power between the prosumers and the provision of reactive power services by the community to the local distribution system operator and the transmission system operator. The proposed procedure calculates the maximum and minimum reactive power deviations that each community participant can provide with respect to the reference profile. A deterministic day-ahead scheduling problem is considered assuming the forecast of load and photovoltaic production known without uncertainties. The formulation of the optimization problems and the solution computational requirements are suitable for the inclusion in a stochastic approach. The effectiveness of the approach is supported by numerical simulations of the daily scheduling for different test cases.
