Abstract
Unit Commitment (UC) is a power system nonlinear programming with mixed integers issue. As Electric Vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy sources are incorporated into the power system, the UC problem becomes more challenging. With the continued increase of wind and solar-based renewable energy in the utility power system on the supply side, the random features of the supply and demand sides of the power grid will become increasingly apparent, affecting the system's security, stability, and economical operation. In that sense, UC has theoretical and practical importance. The optimal scheduling of thermal, wind, solar, and EV units has been studied. The purpose of optimal scheduling is to minimize unit operating expenses. This study examines how the integration of a large percentage of renewable energy sources like wind and solar affects the effectiveness of short-term power system planning and control in urban areas where EVs charging stations and conventional demand coexist. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)is used to minimize the system's operational costs. The IEEE 24-bus test system is used to evaluate the study. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) are compared and used to forecast the day ahead performance of the load demand, wind and solar energy, and EVs stations demand to be used in the proposed case study. It has been found that in forecasting the load demand, solar power, and EVs charging demand, LSTM performs better than GRU with MSE of 5.2%, 3.6%, and 8.6%, respectively, and for wind power prediction, GRU outperforms LSTM with MSE of 3.9%. Moreover, the results show the robustness of the proposed methodology with optimal production costs of $340686.
