Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of operating cost accounting of electricity spot markets and coal-fired units, and in particular, to a method for determining an on-grid price quotation for maximization of benefits of a coal-fired unit in an electricity spot market. BACKGROUND

[0002] Spot trading, as a key link of an electricity market, is an important means for determining values of various electricity commodities by unit bidding, network constraints, and market requirements, and can fully reflect the values of electricity as commodities in time, space, and category. As a market subject, a generator unit is involved in a plurality of links such as electricity bidding, unit clearing, and ancillary service market. Therefore, a power generation cost must be known fully to give a reasonable on-grid price quotation.

[0003] At present, most power generation enterprises still adopt a production cost accounting manner in a “planned” environment, i.e., “ex-post accounting”, to measure and calculate their total power production costs and respective kilowatt-hour average costs with a month, a quarter, and a year as an accounting cycle. However, in a spot market, prices of electricity commodities are influenced by a plurality of factors. A traditional rough cost calculation manner is not adaptable to the market environment which dynamically varies in real time. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, an objective of the present disclosure is to provide quotation method for maximization of benefits of a coal-fired unit in an electricity spot market. Based on a designed value of a unit, with reference to routine thermal test results and in comprehensive consideration of factors such as normal aging of the unit, thermal equipment defects, and operating parameter deviations, the fuel costs of the unit under different loads can be known in advance according to a predicted load plan of D+l days, so as to guide the unit to participate in a spot price quotation.
