Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system operation technology and relates to a bilateral random power grid dispatching method. Background Technology
[0002] Developing and utilizing renewable energy and achieving sustainable energy development are major initiatives in my country's energy development strategy. With the large-scale integration of renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics into the power grid, their volatility and randomness have brought two challenges to the active power rolling dispatch of the power system.
[0003] On the one hand, accurate and flexible wind power output forecasting is the foundation for achieving safe and economical active power rolling dispatch. Traditional forecasting methods include interval description methods with given upper and lower limits of output and simple Gaussian probability density function description methods. Although models such as beta distribution and general distribution have also been used to fit the predicted output of renewable energy, they either cannot accurately fit the predicted wind power output or bring great difficulties to solving the active power rolling dispatch model. Therefore, an accurate and flexible forecasting model is urgently needed.
[0004] On the other hand, the volatility and randomness of renewable energy make traditional deterministic or robust scheduling methods difficult to apply. One-sided opportunity-constrained scheduling can balance system operation risks and generation costs, but modeling the upper and lower bounds of reserve capacity (line capacity) separately leads to overly relaxed optimization results that fail to meet pre-set safety levels. Two-sided opportunity-constrained stochastic scheduling overcomes the disadvantages of one-sided models by minimizing the objective function value to obtain the lowest-cost scheduling strategy. Solving two-sided opportunity-constrained stochastic scheduling is extremely difficult. Traditional sampling methods are computationally intensive and have poor convergence, while relaxation methods result in imprecise solutions, failing to achieve efficient scheduling.
[0005] In summary, modeling and rapidly solving bilateral opportunity-constrained scheduling that takes into account the stochasticity of renewable energy output remains a major challenge affecting the utilization rate of renewable energy. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to propose a bilateral stochastic power grid dispatching method. Based on the accurate approximation of the Gaussian mixture distribution by the hyperbolic tangent function, the bilateral chance constraints are transformed into deterministic convex constraints and solved effectively. This fully utilizes the advantages of chance-constrained stochastic dispatching, effectively reduces system risk, and saves power grid dispatching costs.
[0007] The bilateral random power grid scheduling method proposed in this invention includes the following steps:
[0008] (1) Establish a bilateral stochastic power grid dispatch model based on the hyperbolic tangent function approximation. The bilateral stochastic power grid dispatch model consists of an objective function and constraints.
[0009] (2) Based on the standby demand constraints and line power flow constraints in step (1), perform analytical approximation on the mixture Gaussian distribution satisfied by the random variables appearing in the constraints to obtain the approximate expression of the random variables.
[0010] (3) Based on the approximation of random variables in the reserve demand constraint and power flow constraint of the power grid line in step (2), the bilateral opportunity constraint optimization model in step (1) is transformed into a deterministic optimization model.
[0011] (4) Using the interior point method, the deterministic optimization model obtained in steps (1) to (3) is solved to obtain the power generation plan of thermal power units and renewable energy power plants.
[0012] The bilateral stochastic scheduling method based on the hyperbolic tangent function approximation proposed in this invention has the following characteristics and advantages:
[0013] This invention first accurately characterizes the output characteristics and correlations of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power through a mixture of Gaussian distributions of multiple random variables. Based on this distribution, this method establishes a cost-minimizing stochastic scheduling model considering deterministic constraints and bilateral opportunity constraints. The bilateral opportunity constraints simultaneously limit the uncertainty of reserve demand (line power flow) caused by the randomness of output from renewable energy power plants such as wind and solar power during the scheduling process to a safe upper and lower limit with a certain confidence level. Simultaneously, the cumulative distribution function of the random variables in the opportunity constraints is analytically approximated using the hyperbolic tangent function, thereby transforming the bilateral opportunity constraints into deterministic convex constraints. The stochastic scheduling model is effectively solved, and the optimization result is the optimal scheduling decision for the output of traditional thermal power units and renewable energy power plants such as wind and solar power under the conditions of controlling scheduling risk and reducing scheduling costs. The advantages of this invention are that by analytically approximating the cumulative distribution function of random variables, the bilateral opportunity constraints are transformed into deterministic convex constraints, effectively improving the solution efficiency of the model. At the same time, the bilateral opportunity constraint model with adjustable risk levels eliminates the conservatism of traditional robust scheduling, providing decision-makers with a more reasonable scheduling basis. The method of this invention can be applied to the dispatching of power systems that include large-scale renewable energy grid connections. Detailed Implementation
