[0002] With the large-scale integration of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, the grid is placing increasing demands on thermal power units to absorb these renewable energy sources. However, due to the instability of solar and wind power supply, effective daily forecasting of renewable energy production is currently unavailable. This leads to fluctuations in the grid frequency, impacting power supply quality. Thermal power units offer a certain degree of flexibility in participating in peak and frequency regulation, so improving their frequency regulation capabilities is a key research area.
