The problem of optimal short-term operation of pumped-storage power plants which is solved in this study is also such a problem in terms of its dimensions and constraints. Numerous optimization algorithms have been developed and are being developed to solve such problems more quickly and decisively [ 5, 24 ].

Integration of an energy storage system (ESS) into a large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power plant is highly desirable to improve performance of the system and overcome the stochastic nature of PV power generation. Algorithms to size ESS within an integrated PV and ESS ( PV+ESS) power plant, conventionally, require a large number

Hydropower plants are unevenly distributed among multiple provincial power grids in ECPG. From the provincial energy structures in Fig. 3, the Fujian Power Grid has 32.4% of hydropower and little pressure on peak power demand, while the other four provincial power grids face severe power shortages for peak demand.

The SPSP absorbs a large amount of "cheap" wind energy during the early morning hours or the time of wind power excess. The SPSP maximizes the electrical energy revenue through cyclic regulation [33].

Supercritical coal-fired power plants have a higher thermal efficiency than subcritical coal-fired power plants due to their higher operation temperature (500–600 ) and pressure (24–26 MPa). The schematic diagram of a typical supercritical coal-fired power plant is shown in Fig. 1 .

Aggregating loads and resources on both the supply and demand side of a virtual power plant (VPP) can enhance coordination between distributed generation systems and the power grid, ultimately improving the utilization rate and economic benefits of renewable energy. The energy storage system (ESS) has the added benefit of flexible demand
