【 摘 要 】

As power systems transition from controllable fossil fuel plants to variable renewable sources, managing power supply and demand fluctuations becomes increasingly important. Novel approaches are required to balance these fluctuations. The problem of determining the optimal deployment of flexibility options, considering factors such as timing and location, shares similarities with scheduling problems encountered in computer networks. In both cases, the objective is to coordinate various distributed units and manage the flow of either data or power. Among the methods for scheduling and resource allocation in computer networks, stochastic network calculus (SNC) is a promising approach that estimates worst-case guarantees for Quality of Service (QoS) indicators of computer networks, such as delay and backlog. Promising QoS indicators in the power system are given by the amount of stored energy, the serviced demand, and the demand elasticity. In this work, we investigate SNC for its capabilities and limitations to quantify flexibility service guarantees in power systems. We generate and aggregate stochastic envelopes for random processes, which was found useful for modeling flexibility in power systems at multiple time scales. In a case study on the reliability of a solar-powered car charging station, we obtain similar results as from a mixed-integer linear programming problem, which provides confidence that the chosen SNC approach is suitable for modeling power system flexibility.
