Outline

The main purpose of this research project is to develop a basic theory of real-time optimal dispatch control of huge-scale power systems with a large number of grid-connected photovoltaic systems. More specifically, we will develop a theory for optimally controlling spinning reserve generators as well as batteries in the presence of prediction uncertainty in photovoltaic power generation and power demand, with clarity of the relation between power prediction precision and system optimality, to efficiently and maximally utilize the photovoltaic systems.
