Popis: This paper proposes a new model of scenario-based security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC with BESSs. By formulating such a model as a mixed-integer programming (MIP) problem, we can obtain the optimal control strategy of units and BESSs to reduce the operating cost. To solve this MIP with the proposed model, we propose a new learning-based approach to solve the security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) problem. The proposed deep neural network (DNN)-based SCUC algorithm (DSCUC) has two main stages. First, DSCUC trains a DNN to obtain the binary unit commitment decisions. Then, the continuous variables corresponding to unit power outputs are solved by a small-scale convex optimization problem. In contrast to the existing work, the DSCUC algorithm eliminates the need of explicitly considering the scenario-based security constraints in the optimization problem, and thus greatly reduces the computational complexity. The average gap to the optimal solution is as small as 0.0964%. The algorithm is scalable in the sense that the computational time is reduced from about 1300 seconds to about 0.7 second in a 10-unit and 200-scenario system. Besides, the computation time remains almost constant when the number of scenarios increases. More than 4.70% operating cost is reduced by incorporating BESSs in the system.
