Abstract:

Centralized optimization is widely applied in optimization scheduling of wind-solar-hydro-thermal power in cascade hydropower. However, upstream and downstream regions of cascade hydropower often belong to different interest alliances, which hinders centralized optimization from considering the individual preferences of each alliance in their scheduling decisions. To address this, a game optimization dispatch model is established with the goal of maximizing the interests for both upstream and downstream regions. The downstream region provides a certain proportion of its increased revenue as compensation to the upstream region, which adjusts the scheduling strategy to increase the downstream revenue. This game is modeled as a Stackelberg game, of which the leader is the downstream region that provides compensation and determines the compensation coefficient, and the follower is the upstream region that formulates its scheduling strategy. In the bi-level nested optimization model based on the Stackelberg game, the upstream optimal scheduling model at the lower level considers the downstream optimal scheduling strategy, namely, the lower-level model is also a bi-level optimization problem. Finally, a game optimization scheduling model is constructed based on the three-level optimization model. The results show that this model can ensure the individual interests for both upstream and downstream regions while promoting an overall increase in their combined benefits.
