Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of power system distribution network planning and operation, and in particular, to a method and system for improving the flexibility of a regional integrated energy system, and in particular to a method and system for improving the flexibility of a regional integrated energy system taking uncertainty into consideration. Background Art

[0002] Natural gas is a clean and efficient energy source and has become one of the most important fossil fuel resources. According to the forecast of the International Gas Union, by 2030, due to the global interest in promoting low-carbon policies, the proportion of natural gas in the world's total primary energy consumption will rise to 28%. At this growth rate, it can be foreseen that by 2050, natural gas will replace oil as the world's largest energy source. With the continuous development of clean energy power generation such as natural gas power generation and cogeneration, the coupling of power system, natural gas system and heating system has been deepened, forming a regional integrated energy system (RIES) with power system as the core, promoting multi-energy complementarity and cascade utilization, helping to improve energy utilization efficiency and achieve sustainable energy development.

[0003] The increase in the proportion of intermittent renewable energy leads to a growing demand for system flexibility. On the one hand, renewable energy such as wind and solar energy bring a lot of variability and uncertainty to the system due to their inherent intermittency and limited controllability. On the other hand, some renewable energy replaces controllable traditional generators, such as nuclear power, natural gas and pumped storage power stations, reducing the system's rotational inertia and highly reliable regulation power. The lack of flexibility in the system will lead to load reduction, wind and solar abandonment, negative prices in the spot market, etc. At the same time, the multi-energy coupling in RIES will make the energy types and energy load demand more diversified, and the uncertainty of multi-energy load will become more complicated. RIES will face more challenges of uncertainty at more levels. Therefore, it is very important to enhance the ability of RIES to regulate multi-energy supply, demand, energy flow and operate it in a safe operating area. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the defects in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and system for planning the flexibility improvement of a regional integrated energy system.

[0020] Module M2: Run the test model based on flexibility, consider the impact of uncertainty, and find the worst operating scenario under the planning scheme;

[0021] Module M3: Determine whether the planning scheme meets the flexibility requirements in the worst scenario. If the safety constraints meet the requirements through probability, the planning scheme is directly output; if it does not meet the requirements, the upper-level planning scheme is changed until a scheme that meets the flexibility requirements in the worst scenario and has the best economic performance in non-bad scenarios is found.

It should be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can also be made without departing from the concept of the present invention.

[0047] The specific planning model is constructed as follows:

[0048] The deterministic planning model of regional integrated energy system aims at economic optimization:

[0049]

[0050] Among them, W I The equivalent annual value of the investment cost for RIES planning; W op is the annual operating cost of RIES; Represents the vector form of decision variables; is the decision variable for whether the power grid line ij should be expanded, The decision variable for whether to expand the natural gas pipeline mn, ij is the node number of the power grid, mn is the node number of the natural gas pipeline, E represents the power grid, N represents natural gas, if the value is 1, then expand, if the value is 0, then do not expand; It is the decision variable for whether to configure distributed generation at grid node i. If the value is 1, it is configured; if the value is 0, it is not configured.

[0051] The deterministic planning model has three types of constraints, including power grid operation constraints, natural gas network constraints, and equipment operation constraints.

[0052] 1) Grid operation constraints:

[0053]

[0054] V min ≤V i,t ≤V max

[0055] in, is the power of the gas turbine installed at grid node i at time t; is the abandonment rate of the PV unit installed at grid node i at time t; is the wind curtailment rate of the wind turbine installed at grid node i at time t; P ji,tis the active power of the grid line section ji at time t; is the power of the power-to-gas equipment installed at grid node i at time t; V is the power delivered by RIES of grid node i to downstream user loads at time t; i,t is the node voltage of grid node i at time t; V0 is the nominal voltage of the grid; are the maximum values ​​of active power transmitted before and after the expansion of line ij; M is the larger value in the large M method; V min 、V max are the minimum and maximum values ​​of the node voltage.

[0056] 2) Natural gas network constraints:

[0057]

[0058]

[0059] in, are the inlet and outlet flow rates of the natural gas pipeline nm at time t respectively; is the natural gas flow rate generated by the power-to-gas unit installed at the natural gas network node m at time t; is the natural gas flow consumed by the gas boiler installed at the natural gas network node m at time t; is the injection flow of the natural gas source at the natural gas network node m at time t; is the natural gas flow delivered by RIES at natural gas network node m to downstream user loads at time t; is the average flow rate of natural gas pipeline nm at time t; is the coefficient before planning, D mn is the diameter of the natural gas pipeline nm, Δx mn is the length of the natural gas pipeline nm, F mn is the friction factor of the natural gas pipeline nm, R is the gas constant, T is degrees Fahrenheit, Z is the gas compression factor, ρ0 is the gas density; α′ is the coefficient after the natural gas pipeline is replaced; p m,t is the pressure of natural gas network node m at time t; is the average gas pressure of the natural gas pipeline nm at time t; is the initial coefficient of the natural gas pipeline; γ′ is the coefficient after the natural gas pipeline is replaced; L mn,t It is the storage of natural gas pipeline nm; are the minimum and maximum flow rates of the natural gas source output at the natural gas network node m, respectively; is the gas source ramp rate at natural gas network node m; p m,t is the pressure of natural gas network node m at time t; T fThe last scheduling moment of the day; L min Minimum pipeline storage of natural gas network.

[0060] 3) Equipment operation constraints

[0064] The flexibility operation verification model needs to verify whether RIES is in a safe and stable operation area under the worst scenario. The worst scenario of RIES is the scenario where the safety constraints are more likely to exceed the limit, so the safety verification model uses the maximum safety constraint offset as the objective function.

[0065]

[0066] The constraints of the safety verification model include RIES safety operation constraints, power grid operation constraints considering the uncertainty of electric load and new energy output, natural gas grid operation constraints considering the uncertainty of gas load, and energy conversion equipment operation constraints considering the uncertainty of equipment. The power grid operation constraints, natural gas grid constraints, and equipment operation constraints have been described in the deterministic planning model, and now only the RIES safety operation constraints are described.

[0067] Considering that temporary violation of safety constraints will not affect the safe operation of RIES, this chapter sets the flexibility requirement as the probability of passing the RIES safety constraints reaching 1-α.

[0068]

[0069] Among them, P∈W is the probability distribution of uncertain variables on the energy side and the load side; α is the confidence level.

[0070] In summary, the two-level planning model of "economic planning + flexibility operation test" is as follows:
