I s also capable of purchasng elecrcy from man grd and provdng ancllary servces hrough a flexble dspachng mode. A compeve marke envronmen s benefcal for he exploraon of ADN s acveness n opmzng dspach and bddng sraegy. In a blaeral elecrcy marke, he decson varables such as bd volume and prce can nfluence he marke clearng prce (MCP). The MCP can also have mpacs on he dspach sraegy of ADN a he same me. Ths paper proposes a blevel coordnae dspach model wh fully consderaon of he nformaon neracon beween man grd and ADN. Smulaon resuls on a ypcal ADN valdae he feasbly of he proposed mehod. A balanced proporon beween energy marke and ancllary servces marke can be acheved.

Wh he negraon of DERs no dsrbuon neworks, he acve dsrbuon nework (ADN) s presened [1 4]. ADN s defned as he dsrbuon nework wh he sysem conrollng a combnaon of DERs [1]. ADNs are enled wh hgh dspach auonomy rgh, makng possble o provde ancllary servces such as spnnng reserve servce and peak regulaon. Varous facors should be consdered when makng an ADN dspach plan. The schedulng of DERs as well as he exchanged power beween ADN and man grd should be made for dspach sraegy. In addon, he bd prce and volume need o be decded for bddng sraegy. Los of researches on he sraegy of ADN have been carred ou n recen years. A coordnaed mehod s presened o manage ADN concernng he cos of DGs and purchasng elecrcy n [5]. The schedulng procedure [6] s composed of wo sages: a day-ahead scheduler o reduce cos and an nraday scheduler o mee he operaon requremens. Dynamc opmal power flow s appled n acve nework managemen [7]. An opmal schedule model s proposed for ADN o mnmze he operaon cos of a complee dspach cycle [8]. A decenralzed decson-makng framework s presened o deermne a secure and economcal schedule n [9]. The echncal and economc effecs of acve managemen on dsrbuon nework are evaluaed n [10].

2 566 Yao JIN e al. Mos of he researches focus on he schedulng of DERs and purchasng elecrcy when he marke clearng prce (MCP) s gven. However, few effors have been made o sudy he coordnaon beween man grd and dsrbuon nework. In fac, bddng sraegy of ADN can nfluence he MCP as well. Therefore, he nformaon neracon should be aken no consderaon when makng an ADN sraegy. Alhough research work has been seldom conduced on he marke parcpaon mechansm of ADN, here are many exsng researches focusng on he relaed conceps, such as power plan, mcro-grd and plug-n elecrc vehcles (PEVs), whch are of grea meanng. Bddng sraegy s solved as a b-level opmzaon problem n mos researches [11 13]. The upper level s a marke clearng problem, and he lower level s a dspach model. Mcrogrd resembles ADN n many aspecs and he marke parcpaon mechansm s wdely suded [14, 15]. When ADN akes par n energy and ancllary servces markes a he same me, he balance beween he wo markes should be consdered [16 18]. Ths paper proposes an opmal dspach and bddng sraegy of ADN consderng he combnaon of energy and ancllary servces marke. The schedulng of DERs and bd volumes s deermned o mnmze he oal cos. Fnally, he proposed mehod s appled o a ypcal ADN and he mpac of DERs on ancllary servces marke s nvesgaed. The remanng secons of hs paper are organzed as follows. The marke framework s presened ncludng energy and ancllary servces marke clearng problem and he bddng sraegy s dscussed n Secon 2. Then, an ADN dspach model s proposed n Secon 3. A case sudy s esed o llusrae he valdy of he proposed mehod n Secon 4. Secon 5 concludes hs paper. ancllary servces marke. Conrollable DGs such as mcrourbne can be appled n boh markes. 2.1 Energy marke In he blaeral elecrcy marke envronmen, buyers and supplers boh offer bd volume and prce o ndependen sysem operaor (ISO). MCP s he unform margnal cos represened as k. The objecve of energy marke clearng problem s o maxmze he surplus of buyers and supplers consderng he secury of power sysems. Mahemacally, can be formulaed as! max XT X N b Cbj P bj þ C DN P DN XN s ð1þ s:: ¼1 P N s ¼1 j¼1 U P s ¼ PN d P bj þ P DN j¼1 U Pmn s P s U Pmax s U C s P s ð2þ ð3þ 0 P bj Pmax bj ð4þ where T s he oal numbers of hours; N b and N s are he numbers of buyers and supplers, respecvely; C bj, C DN and C s are he bd prces of j h buyer, ADN and h suppler; P bj, P DN and P s are he bd volume of j h buyer, ADN and h suppler; U s he saus of h suppler (0 s OFF, 1 s ON); P mn s and P max s are he lower and upper bound of h suppler s bd volume; P max dj s he upper bound of j h buyer s load demand. 2 Marke framework Though a fxed elecrcy marke mechansm for ADN does no exs, a compeve marke envronmen can be helpful o he exploraon of ADN acveness n opmzng dspach and bddng sraegy. Ths paper ulzes a pool based blaeral elecrcy marke mechansm, whch enables ADN o schedule n response o prce sgnals. Compared wh radonal power sysems, ADN has more flexbly n dspach. ADN can no only purchase elecrcy n energy marke, bu also provde ancllary servces. Specfcally, convenonal load, sorage devces and nermen resources such as wnd energy can parcpae n energy marke, whle acve load can be ulzed n 2.2 Ancllary servces marke Wh he deregulaon of power sysems, compeon mechansm s nroduced no he ancllary servces marke [19, 20]. The ancllary servces marke mechansm proposed n hs paper s a bd-based aucon model, and he reserve marke s aken no accoun. The parcpans of reserve marke subm wo ypes of bds: capacy bds and energy bds. All bdders are pad capacy prce wheher reserve capacy s dspached or no. However, only he dspached par wll be pad energy prce. Ancllary servces marke clearng problem ams o acheve socal cos mnmzaon subjec o he requred reserve capacy and lms of supplers.

In day-ahead marke, ADN subms purchasng elecrcy bd o ISO n energy marke and reserve capacy bd n ancllary servces marke. The marke framework s shown n Fg. 1. Load demand would be sasfed f he bd prce s slghly hgher han he MCP n energy marke. Smlarly, bd volume would be acceped f he bd prce s margnally lower han he MCP n ancllary servces marke. Therefore, only bd volumes need o be deermned when desgnng he sraegy of ADN.

The bddng nformaon of marke parcpans s shown n Table 1. The maxmum and mnmum oupu of Suppler 1 and 3 are 200 MW and 15 MW, respecvely. The maxmum and mnmum oupu of Suppler 2 and 4 are 300 MW and 25 MW, respecvely. The rao of requred reserve capacy o sysem load demand s 20 %.

Case 3: Dspach model whou nformaon neracon, and forecased elecrcy prce s 0.8 mes of MCP. The cos and benef of ADN under dfferen cases are shown n Table 4, from whch we can see he proposed coordnae dspach model coss he leas. The forecased elecrcy prce of Case 2 s relavely hgher, so ADN prefers o generae elecrcy usng DGs raher han purchase from man grd. As a consequence, generaon cos ncreases and DGs spare less capacy for ancllary servces marke. Insead, a lower forecased elecrcy prce wll lead o he ncrease of elecrcy purchasng cos as shown n Case 3. Above all, opmal economc benef can be acheved hrough nformaon neracon beween man grd and dsrbuon nework.

Addonally, benef can be made hrough provdng reserve capacy n ancllary servces marke. The bd volumes n energy and ancllary servces marke are shown n Fg. 5.

Bd volume s relavely hgher durng 1:00 3:00, because DGs are shu down due o low economc effcency, makng purchasng elecrcy become he only energy source. The bd volume n ancllary servces marke s nfluenced by he lm of dspachable reserve capacy as well as MCP. DGs are n he sae of nearly full capacy operaon durng peak hours, so he correspondng bd volume s relavely less. The componen of reserve capacy s shown n Fg. 6. The oal demand of reserve capacy s suppled by DGs and acve load. I can be found ha DG2 wh a larger capacy works as he man source of reserve capacy. Acve load manly provde reserve capacy durng 1:00 9:00 and 21:00 24:00, when MCP and load demand are low. The bd volume n ancllary servces marke s proporonal o sysem requred reserve capacy shown n Fg. 7. Ths s manly because MCP ncreases wh he reserve capacy demand when oher condons keep consan. Therefore, ADN would adjus he rao of bd volume beween wo markes o acheve benef maxmzaon accordngly. 5 Concluson In hs paper, a dspach and bddng sraegy of ADN n energy and ancllary servces marke s nroduced o enhance economc effcency.
