ITROUCTIO The hourly demad repoe (R) program i elecriciy marke could provide igifica beefi o marke paricipa ad cuomer. Such beefi iclude lower hourly marke price, lower volailiy i hourly marke price, ehaced yem reliabiliy, ad a maller chace for he marke power exerio by geeraig compaie (ECO), a cuomer play a more acive role i power yem operaio. R offer iceive for lowerig elecriciy uage a ime whe elecriciy price are high or whe he power yem reliabiliy i i queio [1]-[3]. R become more aracive o cuomer ad ISO a elecriciy demad, fuel price, ad he que for achievig a higher yem reliabiliy icreae. The R program iclude reliabiliy ad ecoomic coideraio. I he reliabiliy R program, paricipaig cuomer are paid iceive for meaured baelie load reducio durig coigecy codiio [2]. I he ecoomic R program, paricipaig coumer would curail hourly load voluarily i repoe o marke price. I hi cae, cuomer would hif heir le criical hourly load o period which would balace poeial co avig agai cuomer icoveiece [4]-[8]. The efficie marke dyamic are repreeed by icorporaig boh R program io he marke clearig proce. The iegraio of reewable eergy ource (RES) io power yem could reduce ramiio loe ad cogeio by diperig power geeraio, improve he yem reliabiliy, defer ifrarucure upgrade by he iallaio of local power upply, reduce carbo foopri by cuomizig he ue of RES, ad improve he yem efficiecy by ehacig he power qualiy accordig o cuomer requireme [9]-[11]. However, he widepread uage of variable RES could be problemaic for power yem operaio [12],[13]. The imulaio-baed approach i geerally applied whe coiderig RES. A e of power producio ceario wih heir probabiliie i iroduced o hadle uceraiie [14]. The ochaic ui commime ad dipach wih high wid peeraio are examied for rollig plaig wih ceario ree [15]. Rollig plaig i carried ou for rechedulig which i baed o he mo up-o-dae wid foreca ad exiig chedule [16]. A mehodology i propoed o deermie he required level of piig ad o-piig reerve wih a high peeraio of wid power [17]. The Moe Carlo imulaio (MCS) mehod i applied o evaluae he performace of grid-coeced wid urbie geeraor (WT) [18],[19]. WT are modeled a eergy limied ui by uig a load modificaio echique [20]. Reliabiliy idice are developed for hybrid olar-wid geeraio yem [21]. Thi paper propoe a hor-erm ochaic SCUC model for day-ahead marke which icorporae a coordiaed R ad orage program for maagig variable RES, radom ouage of geeraig ui ad ramiio lie, ad load ad wid foreca error. Boh ecoomic ad reliabiliy R program are coidered i he preeed R model. The operaig characeriic of load iclude epwie price bid ad phyical corai of load.

PROPOSE MARKET CLEARI MECHAISM The ISO received bid from marke paricipa icludig load aggregaor ad R provider (RP), ad clear he marke by opimizig he hourly dipach of idividual geeraig ui over a chedulig horizo. The day-ahead chedule will maximize he ocial welfare while aifyig yem-wide limi ad operaig corai of idividual marke paricipa. B. R Program I he propoed R model, load iclude he cuomer bae load (CBL) ad he price repoive load (PRL). CBL i forecaed baed o he hiorical daa; for example, he cuomer average elecriciy uage i he curailme bid period durig he 10 day prior o he day whe he bid wa ubmied [22]. The ecoomic R may iclude block of hourly PRL bid wih correpodig price. The hourly corai may iclude expeced price-repoive load, miimum/maximum curailable load, maximum load pick-up/drop-off rae ad miimum up/dow ime of load curailme. PRL ca be curailed or hifed o oher ime period for ecoomic reao a cheduled by ISO i he day-ahead marke. The propoed model allow cuomer o paricipae i reliabiliy R program. The CBL of paricipaig cuomer could be curailed i he cae of a yem emergecy. Cuomer are required o ubmi he maximum lo of load ad he value of lo load (VOLL) o he A marke ad he load curailme will be cheduled by ISO. Ulike he PRL i ecoomic R, he lo of load i ivoluary [23],[24]. If load heddig occur, cuomer will ge

The eergy ad reerve marke are cheduled ad cleared imulaeouly hrough MILP i he propoed model. III. MOTE CARLO SIMULATIO FOR STOCHASTIC SCUC The ochaic SCUC i our propoed model iclude he followig: A. Reewable Eergy Source We diregard for impliciy he correlaio of load ad RES ad reaed hem idepedely i he chedulig horizo. Suppoe he radom phoovolaic array (PVA) oupu follow a Bea diribuio ad he radom WT oupu follow a Weibull diribuio a each ime period [25]. The coiuou probabiliy diribuio fucio (PF) are approximaed by a dicree diribuio. Le PVA ad W T deoe dicree probabiliy diribuio for PVA ad WT oupu a ime, repecively.

For each ime age, everal ceario are creaed baed o hiorical daa i which PVA ad WT oupu are differe from he correpodig foreca. The probabiliy of each ceario a each age i calculaed a i weigh baed o he PF. The weigh for he fial-age ceario i obaied by muliplyig correpodig weigh alog he ceario ree. The ochaic oupu of PVA or WT i he repreeed by poible ceario wih heir correpodig probabiliy. B. Moe Carlo Simulaio The umber of ample eeded for a give accuracy level i irreleva o he yem ize; o he Moe Carlo imulaio mehod i uiable for repreeig he uceraiy i large-cale opimizaio problem. MCS iclude radom ouage of geeraig ui ad ramiio lie [26],[27] a well a CBL foreca error which repree variaio aroud he foreca a each ime age. The CBL foreca error are repreeed by ormal diribuio fucio i which he mea value are he foreca ad he adard deviaio are perceage of he mea value. The ouage of geeraor ad ramiio lie are imulaed baed o forced ouage rae ad repair rae [27]. I each ceario, a amplig mehod [26] i ued o deermie he 0/1 value of yem compoe availabiliy.
