Multi-Timescale Coordinated Planning of Wind, Solar, and Energy Storage Considering Generalized Adequacy

Abstract: The core of power system planning lies in optimizing resource portfolios to ensure reliable electricity supply, with generalized adequacy serving as a key indicator of supply security. As the share of renewable energy increases, the mechanisms underlying system security undergo profound changes, extending the concept of adequacy from mere power balance to encompass flexibility and inertia support while exhibiting spatial and temporal heterogeneity and wide-area characteristics. Traditional planning approaches can no longer meet these evolving requirements. To address this, a power grid coordinated planning framework is proposed based on generalized adequacy, which integrates power and energy adequacy, flexibility adequacy, and inertia adequacy. Within this framework, generalized adequacy metrics and their quantification methods are developed, and a coordinated planning strategy for wind power, photovoltaic power, multi-timescale energy storage, and transmission expansion is introduced to enhance renewable energy utilization and meet flexibility needs across multiple timescales. Furthermore, a scheme evaluation and selection method based on generalized adequacy is proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through case studies on the IEEE 24-bus system.
