Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of controllable load regulation, and in particular to a method for evaluating the day-ahead regulation capacity of controllable loads for clean energy consumption. Background Technology
[0002] The concentrated distribution of wind and solar resources has dictated my country's large-scale, centralized wind power development path. However, with the increase in my country's large-scale, centralized installed capacity of wind and solar power, insufficient local wind and solar power consumption capacity and obstructed transmission channels have led to a significant amount of wind and solar power curtailment. The essence of the wind power consumption problem is that the large-scale, randomly fluctuating wind power grid significantly increases the demand for grid flexibility, while the existing power structure and dispatching methods lack sufficient flexibility. Due to my country's relatively simple power structure and limited number of generating units capable of flexible start-up and shutdown, the grid's flexibility has become a bottleneck restricting wind power consumption. Given the insufficient flexibility on the generation side, compared to the huge investment in energy storage equipment, involving demand-side loads in achieving local consumption of wind and solar power is a more economical choice. Therefore, managing demand and incentivizing controllable loads to participate in the power system's flexibility will be a crucial way to achieve peak shaving and valley filling, and local wind power consumption. Load dispatching methods that utilize load tracking of wind power output changes are expected to become a trend in future power system operations.
[0003] Data from actual production shows that the load variation curve often differs significantly from the wind and solar power output curve over the same period, leading to "unabsorbable intervals" at many times. Specifically, for example... Figure 1 As shown. To achieve efficient load absorption of new energy sources like wind and solar, it's necessary to adjust controllable loads to adapt to fluctuations in clean energy output. This adjustment alters the load curve, better aligning it with the wind and solar power output curves, thus improving absorption. The uncertainty of clean energy output also places significant demands on the flexible adjustment capabilities of controllable loads. Due to the increasing demand for load flexibility in power systems, the intermittent, volatile, and unpredictable nature of wind and other renewable energy generation renders traditional load-tracking dispatch methods unsustainable. There's a need to enhance the flexible adjustment capabilities of controllable loads to adapt to clean energy power fluctuations. However, different controllable loads exist within the power system, each with varying flexibility adjustment capabilities. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for evaluating the day-ahead regulation capacity of controllable loads for clean energy consumption, and to obtain a contribution index model for clean energy consumption of controllable loads.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A method for evaluating the day-ahead regulation capacity of controllable loads for clean energy consumption is proposed. The method establishes an objective function for the controllable load tracking wind and solar waveform fluctuation capability index model and a regulation function for load tracking clean energy consumption. Based on the objective function and regulation function, the contribution index model of controllable loads to clean energy consumption is obtained, and the ability of different controllable loads to track wind and solar power output curves is obtained, as well as the quantification of the consumption regulation capacity.
[0007] The specific steps are as follows:
[0008] S1. Establish an index model to characterize the ability of controllable loads to track wind and solar waveform fluctuations. The steps are as follows:
[0009] S101. Establish the objective function of the index model for the controllable load tracking wind and solar waveform fluctuation capability; the smaller the objective function, the closer the controllable load curve is to the wind and solar power output curve, the stronger the controllable load tracking wind and solar power output capability, that is, the stronger the load absorption and regulation capability.
[0010] S102. Establish the constraints for the indicator model;
[0011] S2. Establish an index model to characterize the controllable load peak-shifting regulation capacity to absorb wind and solar power, and quantify the controllable load peak-shifting regulation capacity to absorb wind and solar power through the load tracking and clean energy absorption regulation function.
[0012] S3. Based on the index model of the controllable load's ability to track wind and solar waveform fluctuations and the index model of the controllable load's ability to absorb wind and solar energy through peak-shaving regulation, obtain the contribution index model of the controllable load to clean energy absorption.
[0013] In step S101, the objective function is as follows:
[0014]
[0015] In formula ①, B j Let be the objective function; S be the set of all possible running scenarios; s be a possible scenario; ρ s Let be the probability of occurrence of time-series scenario s; T be the total number of time periods; Let t be the load of controllable load j in time period t under time series scenario s for region i; Let be the maximum load of controllable load j in time period t under time series scenario s for region i. To provide power output for new energy sources during time period t in the i-time series scenario s of the region; The maximum output of new energy during time period t under the time series scenario s of region i.
[0016] In step S102, the constraints of the index model are established, including the following:
[0017] 1) The controllable load for each time period is the baseline load plus the increased load, then minus the decreased load, as shown in the following formula:
[0018]
[0019] In formula ②, The baseline load of controllable load j in time period t under time series scenario s for region i; The increase in load of controllable load j in time period t under the time series scenario s of region i; The load reduction amount of controllable load j in time period t under the time series scenario s of region i;
[0020] 2) Controllable loads do not require a reduction in residential demand or an interruption of production tasks. Instead, they adjust energy consumption time to maintain a constant total electricity consumption throughout the cycle. In other words, the increase in load and the decrease in load must be balanced to ensure that residential demand and total production are not affected. The formula is as follows:
[0021]
[0022] 3) Controllable loads have a certain amount of uncontrollable base load; only a portion of the load can be adjusted, meaning that the amount of load increase and decrease in each time period is limited:
[0023]
[0024]
[0025]
[0026] In formula ④-⑥, and These represent the load capacity of controllable load j in region i and the minimum load requirement to maintain production, respectively. and These are the state variables representing the increase and decrease in power of controllable load j during time period t, under time series scenario s for region i. This indicates that in the time series scenario s of region i, the controllable load j increases its power during the time period t; This indicates that the controllable load j reduces its power during time period t under time sequence scenario s in region i.
[0027] In step S2, the capacity of load shifting regulation to absorb wind and solar power is calculated using the following formula:
[0028]
[0029] In formula ⑦, G j For load tracking of the clean energy consumption regulation function, G jThe smaller the value, the less adjustment is needed to control the load to absorb clean energy during peak periods, and the stronger the load's ability to track fluctuations in wind and solar power output, meaning the stronger the load's absorption and regulation capabilities.
[0030] In step S3, the contribution index of clean energy consumption of controllable load is calculated using the following formula:
[0031] A j ×B j G j ⑧
[0032] In formula ⑧, A j Contribution indicators for the consumption of clean energy under controllable loads.
[0033] In step S102, the load capacity is the maximum power of the electrical equipment.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0035] 1. It solves the problem of reduced overall regulation capacity and economy caused by the inability to optimize load regulation schemes due to the inability to assess load flexibility in traditional controllable load regulation;
[0036] 2. Establish the objective function of the controllable load tracking wind and solar waveform fluctuation capability index model and the load tracking clean energy consumption adjustment function. Based on the objective function and adjustment function, obtain the contribution index model of controllable load to clean energy consumption.
[0037] 3. Quantifying the day-ahead flexibility adjustment capability of different controllable loads can yield the optimal load planning scheme for each time period, providing a reference for the power system to implement corresponding incentive policies. Attached Figure Description

[0054] 2) Controllable loads do not require a reduction in residential demand or an interruption of production tasks.

In other words, the increase in load and the decrease in load must be balanced to ensure that residential demand and total production are not affected. The formula is as follows:
[0055]
[0056] 3) Controllable loads have a certain amount of uncontrollable base load; only a portion of the load can be adjusted, meaning that the amount of load increase and decrease in each time period is limited:
[0057]

[0064] S3. Based on the index models of the controllable load's ability to track wind and solar waveform fluctuations and the controllable load's ability to absorb wind and solar energy through peak-shaving regulation, a contribution index model for the clean energy absorption of controllable loads is obtained. That is, by evaluating the controllable load's ability to absorb and regulate clean energy, guidance can be provided for the power system to take incentive measures. The formula is as follows:
