Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power systems, and specifically relates to a method, system, and storage medium for handling tight balance in power systems. Background Technology

[0002] Increasing the proportion of renewable energy in the power system is a global consensus aimed at addressing fossil fuel depletion and environmental pollution. However, renewable energy sources such as wind power are highly volatile and uncertain, requiring the system to have sufficient flexibility to cope with fluctuations in net load (load minus renewable energy output). Simultaneously, facing short-term peak loads, the system's installed generating capacity is insufficient, leading to supply and demand imbalances during specific periods and placing the system in a tight balance. This tight balance further limits the system's ability to provide flexibility. Once the system cannot meet flexibility requirements, measures such as wind curtailment and load shedding become necessary, severely jeopardizing the system's operational safety and economic efficiency.

[0003] Electric vehicle charging stations, as a flexible resource, while inherently subject to uncertainty due to the behavior of electric vehicle owners, contribute to reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment through their widespread use. Electric vehicle charging stations can provide system flexibility, alleviate the regulation burden on thermal power units, reduce wind curtailment and load shedding, and ensure the safe and economical operation of the system.

[0004] Existing research on power system flexibility largely focuses on improving system flexibility, with little in-depth study of the insufficient flexibility of power grids with high wind power penetration and the tight balance problem caused by insufficient installed power generation capacity. In systems with low wind power penetration, the demand for system flexibility is not significant. However, as wind power penetration continues to increase, the strong volatility and uncertainty of wind power lead to a continuous increase in the demand for system flexibility. Thermal power units must meet both the ever-growing system flexibility demands and the load's power demand, which easily leads to wind curtailment and load shedding. At this point, more flexibility resources are needed to increase system flexibility and ensure the safe and economical operation of the system. Summary of the Invention

[0062] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 The power system tight balance handling method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0064] S1: Construct an electric vehicle charging station model that considers the uncertainty of the number of electric vehicles in the charging station;

[0065] S2: Treat electric vehicle charging stations as flexible loads in the power system and establish constraints for electric vehicle charging stations based on the electric vehicle charging station model;

[0066] S3: With the goal of minimizing the total operating cost of the power system, establish a tight balance handling model for the power system. The constraints of the tight balance handling model for the power system include the flexible ramping capacity constraint that electric vehicle charging stations can provide in step S2.

[0067] S4: Input the real-time data of the power system into the tight balance handling model of the power system established in step S3, and solve for the tight balance handling strategy that minimizes the total operating cost of the power system.

[0068] The above method, by establishing an electric vehicle charging station model that considers the uncertainties of electric vehicle charging stations, can obtain a constrained model that incorporates electric vehicle charging stations as flexible loads into the power system, and calculate the ramp-up capacity that electric vehicle charging stations can provide. By introducing electric vehicle charging stations as a flexible resource into the power system, during tight balance operations, the ramp-up of thermal power units can be reduced, wind curtailment and load shedding can be reduced, and the economic efficiency of the system can be improved.

[0069] The uncertainty of electric vehicle charging stations is mainly reflected in the fact that the number of electric vehicles in the charging station is affected by the subjective consciousness of the car owners. Therefore, the model considering the uncertainty of electric vehicle charging stations mainly includes the number of available electric vehicles in the charging station, as well as the state of energy (SOE) of the charging station and the total capacity of the charging station under the influence of the flow of electric vehicles in the charging station.

[0070] In this embodiment, the electric vehicle charging station model that considers the uncertainty of the number of electric vehicles includes:

[0086] in, Indicates in The total capacity of electric vehicles arriving at charging stations at any given time; Indicates in The total capacity of electric vehicles that are constantly leaving the charging station; This indicates the total capacity of the charging station due to the arrival / departure of electric vehicles.

[0087] Based on the above model of electric vehicle charging stations, we can derive the constraints that electric vehicle charging stations, acting as flexible loads that can be mobilized within the power system, should be subject to, considering the uncertainty of electric vehicle flow. The constraints of electric vehicle charging stations are similar to those of energy storage power stations, the difference being that the capacity and state of energy of an electric vehicle charging station are both related to the number of electric vehicles within the station. Therefore, according to the above model, the constraints of electric vehicle charging stations include:

[0088] 1) Constraints on energy, backup capacity, and ramp-up flexibility for charging stations:

[0097]

[0098] Where, ψ pl,t This represents the net discharge percentage (%) resulting from the electric vehicle owner's contract regarding the required state of charge (SOC), assuming a contract between the charging station and the electric vehicle owner allowing the charging station to use the electric vehicle's energy in a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) mode. The charging station should then aggregate the required SOC allocated for each time period in the contract to limit the maximum power exchange with the grid.

[0099] 4) Maximum and minimum range constraints for the state of charge (SOC) of the charging station:

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] 5) Maximum and minimum range constraints for the state of energy (SOE) of the charging station:

[0103]

[0104] Due to the high volatility and uncertainty of wind power, power systems with high wind power penetration often experience significant wind curtailment during tight balancing due to insufficient ramp-up of thermal power units, resulting in substantial economic losses. Therefore, the method of this invention is more effective in power systems with high wind power penetration. In this embodiment, the power system includes wind turbines, thermal power units, electric vehicle charging stations, and other loads. The total operating cost of the power system includes the operating cost of thermal power units (C1), the total operating cost of electric vehicle charging stations (C2), and the penalty cost of wind curtailment and load shedding (C3). The objective function of the constructed tight balancing model for the power system is:

[0107]

[0108]

[0109] Where C represents the total operating cost of the system; the total operating cost of a thermal power unit includes the operating cost of the thermal power unit, conventional ancillary services, and flexible ramp-up backup costs, N T N represents the total number of periods for tight balance handling.

[0110] The constraints of the tight balance handling model of the power system are determined by the system composition. In this embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned electric vehicle charging station constraints, the constraints also include thermal power unit constraints, wind power unit constraints, system flexibility constraints, and power demand constraints.

[0111] The constraints of thermal power units include:

[0112] 1) Constraints on the upward and downward climbing ability of thermal power units:

[0114]

[0132]

[0133]

[0134]

[0135] in, This indicates that the upward flexible ramp provided by load shedding during time period t and the downward flexible ramp provided by wind curtailment can provide flexibility to the system in extreme cases, but this will significantly increase operating costs.

[0136] 5) System power balance constraints:

[0142] To more clearly illustrate the effect of the power system tight balance handling method of the present invention, a simulation and analysis based on the IEEE 118-node system was set up, and simulation case 1, which only considers thermal power units and wind power units participating in the system tight balance handling, and simulation case 2, which considers thermal power units, wind power units and electric vehicle charging stations participating in the system tight balance handling simultaneously, were set up.

[0143] The system comprises 54 thermal power units, 186 branch lines, and 91 load nodes. A wind turbine is connected at node 43. Two electric vehicle charging stations, each with 135,000 charging positions, are located at nodes 58 and 72. The penalty costs for wind curtailment and load shedding are $40 / MWh and $200 / MWh, respectively. The total number of electric vehicles in each charging station, the state of energy (SOE) of the charging station, and the available electric vehicle capacity of the charging station are modeled based on the uncertainty of electric vehicle owner behavior. Other parameters of the electric vehicle charging stations are shown in Table 1.

[0144] Table 1 Parameters of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

[0145]

[0146] Table 2 shows the total cost, total wind curtailment, total load shedding, thermal power ramp-up, and power saving ramp-up results for different case studies. As can be seen from Table 2, compared to Case 1, Case 2, after connecting to the electric vehicle charging station, saw a 11.72% reduction in total operating cost, a 17.88% reduction in total wind curtailment, and a 59.42% reduction in total load shedding. The electric vehicle charging station provides flexibility, improving the safety and economy of system operation.

[0147] Table 2 Comparison of Tight Balance Handling Costs in Case 1 and Case 2

[0148]

[0149] Furthermore, to study the impact of electric vehicle scale on the system's tight balance handling results, based on the original system's electric vehicle capacity of 135,000, ten scenarios were set up with scales of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, 120%, 140%, 160%, 180%, and 200% of the original capacity. The changes in total system operating cost, savings in thermal power plant flexible ramping, and total load shedding were compared under these ten scenarios. Figure 2-3 As shown. By Figure 2-3 It is evident that as the scale of electric vehicles continues to increase, the total operating cost and total load shedding of the system continue to decline, and the flexible ramp-up of electric vehicle charging stations to save thermal power is showing an upward trend.

[0150] Meanwhile, in order to illustrate the effect of the treatment method of the present invention under different wind power penetration rates, the following three typical wind power output scenarios are set up, and the specific output is shown in Figure 4.

[0151] Typical scenario 1: Wind power penetration rate is 9.68%, with low power output fluctuation; Typical scenario 2: Wind power penetration rate is 19.35%, with relatively strong power output fluctuation; Typical scenario 3: Wind power penetration rate is 38.70%, with very strong power output fluctuation.

[0152] Table 3 shows the total operating cost, total wind curtailment, total load shedding, thermal power ramping, and thermal power ramping savings results for different typical wind power output scenarios, with or without the above-mentioned tight balance handling method.

[0153] Table 3 Comparison of disposal costs for Case 1 and Case 2 under typical scenarios with different wind power outputs

[0154]

[0155] As shown in Table 3, without the connection to electric vehicle charging stations, Scenario 1 has the highest total operating cost and thermal power ramp-up; Scenario 2 has a moderate total operating cost and thermal power ramp-up; and Scenario 3 has the lowest total operating cost and thermal power ramp-up. After connecting to electric vehicle charging stations, the total operating cost, total wind curtailment, total load shedding, and thermal power ramp-up all decreased to varying degrees in each scenario. Under different wind power penetration rates, electric vehicle charging stations can improve system flexibility and enhance the safe and economical operation of the system.

[0156] In summary, the handling method of this invention addresses the tight balance problem caused by insufficient flexibility and insufficient installed power generation capacity in high wind power penetration power grids. It establishes a tight balance handling model for power systems considering the uncertainties of electric vehicle charging stations. Analysis of the embodiments yields the following conclusions: 1) Electric vehicle charging stations, as a flexible resource, participate in the tight balance handling of the system, helping thermal power units to share some of the system's flexible ramp-up requirements. This allows thermal power units to have more adjustment range to absorb wind power and meet load demands, reducing wind curtailment and load shedding caused by insufficient system flexibility and installed power generation capacity, thus improving system flexibility and ensuring the safe and economical operation of the power system. 2) Under different wind power penetration rates, electric vehicle charging stations can improve system flexibility and enhance the level of safe and economical system operation. As the scale of electric vehicles continues to increase, system flexibility increases, while the total system operating cost and total load shedding show a downward trend. This indicates that the increase in the scale of electric vehicles can reduce load shedding caused by insufficient system flexibility and installed power generation capacity, improving system flexibility and economy.

[0157] The power system tight balance handling system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an electric vehicle charging station module and a system tight balance handling module.
