Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of power system automation, and particularly relates to a method and system for frequency regulation of energy storage by using overload capacity of a transformer. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the "Cogeneration Management Measures" (Energy Development and Reform

[2016] 617), China clearly pointed out that it encourages thermal power units to be equipped with measures such as thermal storage and energy storage to implement deep peak shaving, and gives peak shaving compensation. With the further deepening of China's power system reform, the increase of electric thermal storage peak shaving facilities in thermal power plants and the increase of peak shaving capacity can obtain economic compensation through peak shaving auxiliary market transactions.

[0003] Although the power grid has a great demand for energy storage participating in peak shaving, the income for energy storage investment is relatively low, which is not enough to balance the purchase cost of energy storage facilities. However, energy storage facilities participating in peak shaving can also participate in providing frequency regulation auxiliary services, and among various auxiliary services such as frequency regulation, peak shaving, backup, rotational inertia, climbing, phase modulation, stable control machine cutting, and rapid load cutting, the income of frequency regulation auxiliary services is the highest, so the energy storage facilities for peak shaving begin to transform to provide frequency regulation services.

[0004] However, the energy storage facilities for peak shaving have the characteristics of small power and large energy, and if they are transformed to provide frequency regulation services, more distribution transformers need to be configured to improve power throughput, which requires a relatively large investment cost.

[0034] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the attached drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure.

[0035] The present disclosure provides a method and system for frequency modulation of energy storage using transformer overload capacity, mainly aiming to improve the power throughput during frequency modulation and reduce the cost. The method and system for frequency modulation of energy storage of the present disclosure are suitable for a molten salt energy storage system assisting a generator set to respond to AGC frequency modulation instructions. The AGC frequency modulation instructions have the characteristics of high power and short charging and discharging time, so the response process of the AGC frequency modulation instructions can be regarded as the normal periodic load of the molten salt energy storage system, that is, the temperature is higher or exceeds the rated current in a certain period of time in the periodic load, but it can be compensated by the lower ambient temperature or below the rated current in other time. From the perspective of thermal aging, it is equivalent to applying the rated load under the design environment temperature, thereby ensuring the safe, stable and efficient operation of the transformer. The method and system for frequency modulation of energy storage of the present disclosure regard the AGC frequency modulation instructions as the normal periodic load of the molten salt energy storage system, and use the normal overload capacity of the transformer to improve the regulation capacity of the molten salt energy storage system, so that the molten salt energy storage system can regulate the power system in a larger range (i.e. larger power) without increasing the transformer.

[0036] In the first embodiment, Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for frequency modulation of energy storage using transformer overload capacity provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As Figure 1 shown, the method for frequency modulation of energy storage using transformer overload capacity comprises:

[0037] Step S11, obtaining historical AGC frequency modulation instructions received by a generator set to obtain the frequency of absolute values of the AGC frequency modulation instructions.

[0038] In step S11, the historical AGC frequency modulation instructions received by the generator set can be sent by a grid dispatching mechanism.

[0039] In step S11, the AGC frequency modulation instructions are divided into downward adjustment AGC instructions and downward adjustment AGC instructions. Therefore, the frequency of absolute values of the AGC frequency modulation instructions is counted based on the historical AGC frequency modulation instructions.

[0040] Step S12, obtaining a target capacity based on the frequency, and configuring the rated capacity of the molten salt energy storage system as the target capacity.

[0041] In step S12, the target capacity is obtained based on the frequency, which includes: forming a frequency histogram based on the frequency; and calculating the target capacity based on the power of the frequency peak of the frequency histogram. Wherein the target capacity is calculated based on the power of the frequency peak of the frequency histogram, which includes: judging whether the frequency histogram has a single peak feature or a double peak feature, if it has a single peak feature, the target capacity is obtained based on the power of the frequency peak; if it has a double peak feature, the maximum power of the power corresponding to the two frequency peaks is selected, and the target capacity is obtained based on the maximum power.

[0042] In the embodiment, if the frequency histogram has a single peak characteristic (the frequency histogram is a single peak type) in step S12, the power corresponding to the frequency peak is obtained by fitting the frequency histogram with a normal distribution. If the frequency histogram has a double peak characteristic (the frequency histogram is a double peak type), the power corresponding to the two frequency peaks is obtained by fitting the frequency histogram with a Gaussian mixture model.

[0043] If the frequency histogram is a single peak type, the power of the frequency peak is denoted as P1. If the frequency histogram is a double peak type, the two frequency peaks are a first frequency peak and a second frequency peak, the first power of the first frequency peak is denoted as P2, and the second power of the second frequency peak is denoted as P3. When the frequency histogram is a single peak type, the target capacity S is calculated by S = 2.4 x P1 x λ. Wherein λ is a power factor, λ = 1 MVA / MW. When the frequency histogram is a double peak type, if P3 > P2, the target capacity S is calculated by S = 1.2 x P3 x λ.

[0044] Figure 2 A flowchart of the method for obtaining the target capacity provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2 The method for obtaining the target capacity includes: forming a frequency histogram based on the frequency of the absolute value of the AGC frequency modulation instruction; determining whether the frequency histogram is a single peak type or a double peak type; if it is a single peak type, obtaining the power P1 of the frequency peak, and calculating the output target capacity S by S = 2.4 x P1 x λ; if it is a double peak type, obtaining the first power P2 of the first frequency peak and the second power P3 of the second frequency peak, and determining the size of the first power P2 and the second power P3; if P3 > P2, calculating the output target capacity S by S = 1.2 x P3 x λ, otherwise calculating the output target capacity S by S = 1.2 x P2 x λ.

[0046] In step S12, the rated capacity of the molten salt energy storage system is configured as the target capacity. The target capacity can be considered as the sum of the capacities of all distribution transformers of the molten salt energy storage system.

[0047] In step S13, when no AGC frequency modulation instruction is received, the molten salt energy storage system is controlled to operate normally at a set load rate.

[0048] In step S13, when no AGC frequency modulation instruction is received, the molten salt energy storage system does not participate in frequency modulation, and the molten salt energy storage system is controlled to operate normally at a set load rate. The set load rate is, for example, 75%. That is, when operating normally, the load rate of the distribution transformer of the molten salt energy storage system is 75%, and at this time the sum of the loads of all transformers of the molten salt energy storage system is 0.75S.

[0049] In step S13, when the molten salt energy storage system is normally operated according to the set load rate, the molten salt energy storage system transformer is also configured with an overcurrent protection, and the action current of the overcurrent protection is set to be 2 times of the rated current of the transformer. The actual current of the molten salt energy storage system transformer is detected in real time, and an alarm is given when the actual current exceeds the action current.

[0050] In step S13, when the molten salt energy storage system is normally operated according to the set load rate, the molten salt energy storage system transformer is also configured with an overcurrent protection, and the action current of the overcurrent protection is set to be 2 times of the rated current of the transformer. The actual current of the molten salt energy storage system transformer is detected in real time, and an alarm is given when the actual current exceeds the action current.

[0051] In step S14, when the AGC frequency modulation instruction is received, the maximum load rate of the molten salt energy storage system is determined based on the overload capacity of the molten salt energy storage system transformer, the target regulation power is obtained based on the maximum load rate, the set load rate and the rated capacity, and the power system is frequency modulated based on the target regulation power.

[0052] In step S14, when the AGC frequency modulation instruction is received, considering that the AGC frequency modulation instruction has the distribution characteristics of large power and short charging and discharging time, the AGC frequency modulation instruction can be regarded as a normal periodic load of the molten salt energy storage system, and at this time, the overload capacity of the molten salt energy storage system transformer can be used to improve the power throughput without increasing the distribution transformer, that is, without additional investment cost. The overload capacity of the transformer is recorded in the existing 2021 version of the “Power Transformer Operation Regulations” and the “Distribution Transformer Operation Regulations”, and the overload capacity of the transformer refers to that the transformer can be operated at rated current all year round under rated operating conditions, and a certain overload capacity is allowed.

[0053] Specifically, in step S14, the maximum load rate of the molten salt energy storage system is determined based on the overload capacity of the molten salt energy storage system transformer. The maximum load rate of the molten salt energy storage system is, for example, 150%. That is, the transformer can bear a load of 1.5S at most.

[0054] In step S14, the target regulation power is obtained based on the maximum load rate, the set load rate and the rated capacity, including: obtaining the maximum bearable power based on the maximum load rate and the rated capacity; obtaining the basic operation power based on the set load rate and the rated capacity; obtaining the target regulation power based on the maximum bearable power and the basic operation power. Taking the maximum load rate as 150% and the set load rate as 75% as an example, the maximum bearable load of the transformer (i.e. 1.5S load) is obtained based on the maximum load rate and the rated capacity, so as to obtain the maximum bearable power; the normal operation bearable load of the transformer (i.e. 0.75S load) is obtained based on the set load rate and the rated capacity, so as to obtain the basic operation power, the regulation load (i.e. 0.75S load) is obtained based on the difference between the maximum bearable load and the normal operation bearable load, and the target regulation power is obtained based on the difference between the maximum bearable power and the basic operation power. The molten salt energy storage system participates in frequency regulation according to the target regulation power, and the regulation capacity is the regulation load.

[0055] In step S14, since the AGC frequency regulation instruction is divided into the downward regulation AGC instruction and the upward regulation AGC instruction, the molten salt energy storage system participating in frequency regulation according to the target regulation power is divided into two cases, which are respectively:

[0056] When the generator set receives the downward regulation AGC frequency regulation instruction, the molten salt energy storage system needs to increase the transformer load. According to the normal overload capacity of the transformer, the transformer can bear 1.5S load at most, and the normal operation bearable load is 0.75S. The maximum positive regulation load that the molten salt energy storage system can respond to is 0.75S, and the molten salt energy storage system performs positive frequency regulation according to the target regulation power.

[0057] When the generator set receives the upward regulation AGC instruction, the molten salt energy storage system needs to reduce the transformer load. The transformer can bear 1.5S load at most, and the normal operation bearable load is 0.75S. The maximum positive regulation load that the molten salt energy storage system can respond to is 0.75S, and the molten salt energy storage system performs positive frequency regulation according to the target regulation power.

[0058] In the embodiment, when the frequency regulation response is received, the time of responding to the AGC frequency regulation instruction is negatively related to the environmental temperature, that is, the higher the environmental temperature, the shorter the time of responding to the frequency regulation instruction of the transformer overload. The time of responding to the AGC frequency regulation instruction is negatively related to the overload coefficient, that is, the greater the overload coefficient, the shorter the time of responding to the frequency regulation instruction of the transformer overload.

[0059] In the energy storage frequency modulation method using transformer overload capacity in the embodiments of the present disclosure, historical AGC frequency modulation instructions received by the generator set are obtained to obtain the frequency of the absolute value of the AGC frequency modulation instructions; the target capacity is obtained based on the frequency, and the rated capacity of the molten salt energy storage system is configured as the target capacity; when no AGC frequency modulation instruction is received, the molten salt energy storage system is controlled to normally operate according to the set load rate; when the AGC frequency modulation instruction is received, the maximum load rate of the molten salt energy storage system is determined based on the overload capacity of the transformer of the molten salt energy storage system, the target regulation power is obtained based on the maximum load rate, the set load rate and the rated capacity, and the power system is frequency modulated based on the target regulation power. In this case, the AGC frequency modulation instruction is regarded as a normal periodic load of the molten salt energy storage system by taking advantage of the characteristics that the large power charging and discharging time of the AGC frequency modulation instruction is short, the target capacity is obtained based on the frequency of the AGC frequency modulation instruction as the rated capacity of the molten salt energy storage system, the maximum load rate of the molten salt energy storage system is determined by using the overload capacity of the transformer of the molten salt energy storage system, and the target regulation power is obtained based on the maximum load rate, the set load rate and the rated capacity to frequency modulate the power system, thereby improving the power throughput during frequency modulation. In addition, the method of the present disclosure uses the existing transformer and does not increase the cost to configure more transformers, so the cost is low. Specifically, taking the maximum load rate of 150% and the set load rate of 75% as an example, the method of the present disclosure regards the AGC frequency modulation instruction as a normal periodic load of the molten salt energy storage system, and when normally operating, the load rate of the distribution transformer of the molten salt energy storage system is 75%. When responding to the AGC frequency modulation instruction, the transformer can bear 1.5S load at most according to the normal overload capacity of the transformer, thereby realizing a regulation range of ±0.75S. At the same time, the transformer overheat protection is configured to balance the heat accumulated during overload operation during low load operation, greatly improving the regulation range of the molten salt energy storage system, thereby obtaining more frequency modulation auxiliary service benefits, and having great application value. The distribution characteristics of the AGC instruction, i.e. the characteristics that the large power charging and discharging time is short, are ingeniously used to regard the AGC frequency modulation instruction as a normal periodic load of the molten salt energy storage system, and the overload capacity of the transformer is fully utilized to realize large-range regulation of the molten salt energy storage. Compared with the traditional control method, the problem that the power of the energy storage facility used for peak regulation is small and not suitable for frequency modulation auxiliary service can be solved without increasing investment, the regulation range of the molten salt energy storage system is greatly improved, more AGC frequency modulation instructions can be responded to, and more frequency modulation auxiliary benefits can be obtained.
