STREAM IT-UC.06.01 Day ahead schedule for water pump opeartion

The Test Case IT-UC.06.01 evaluates the use of day-ahead optimisation for water pump operation in order to provide operational flexibility under different optimisation objectives. The optimisation is performed for a 24-hour scheduling horizon with a 15-minute time resolution. The baseline represents the reference water pump operation, while the optimised schedule shows how pump operation can be shifted or adjusted according to the selected objective, while respecting the operational constraints of the water system. This dataset contains three result files derived from the optimisation process: Electricity price minimisationThis file contains the day-ahead electricity price signal, the baseline pump operation power and the optimised pump operation power. The objective of this optimisation is to reduce electricity costs by shifting pump operation towards periods with lower electricity prices. Maximisation of local PV (RES) utilisationThis file contains the available photovoltaic production, the baseline pump operation power and the optimised pump operation power. The objective of this optimisation is to increase the use of locally available PV generation by aligning water pump operation with periods of higher PV production. Transformer congestion avoidanceThis file contains the transformer loading, the baseline pump operation power the optimised pump operation power and the transformer loading after the optimisation. The objective of this optimisation is to reduce the contribution of water pump operation during periods of high transformer loading and therefore support congestion avoidance. Each file includes the following fields: Time Relevant optimisation signalElectricity price, available PV power, or transformer loading, depending on the optimisation case Baseline pump operation power Optimised pump operation power
