High penetration of renewable energy sources coupled with decentralization of transport and heating loads in future power systems will result even more complex unit commitment problem solution using energy storage system scheduling for efficient load leveling. This paper employees an adaptive approach to load leveling problem using the Volterra integral dynamical models. The problem is formulated as solution of the Volterra integral equation of the first kind which is attacked using Taylor-collocation numerical method which has the second-order accuracy and enjoys self-regularization properties, which is associated with confidence levels of system demand. Also the CESTAC method is applied to find the optimal approximation, optimal error and optimal step of collocation method. This adaptive approach is suitable for energy storage optimization in real time. The efficiency of the proposed methodology is demonstrated on the Single Electricity Market of the Island of Ireland.
