TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coal-fired power plant inventory management, in particular to a coal-fired power plant inventory management system and method based on supply and demand relationship. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the deepening of the reform of the electricity market, the market competition mechanism is gradually improved, and the power coal generation capacity enters the electricity market. The coal-fired power plant not only needs to provide stable and efficient power products for residents' life and industry, but also needs to ensure its own production safety and improve power generation efficiency. In order to prevent the power coal supply from being interrupted and causing fire outage, the power plant will set a certain amount of power coal inventory. When formulating the power generation and procurement plan, the uncertainty of the power coal supply chain and the bidding for the grid under the electricity market environment needs to be considered, which means that the power plant has more self-management right and also bears greater profit pressure. In order to ensure the maximum profit under the condition of stable power supply, the key is to optimize the power coal procurement quantity and determine a more reasonable power coal inventory level.
[0003] The electricity generated by the coal-fired power plant through the burning of power coal is called coal electricity. The stability of the power coal supply chain operation lays the foundation for large-scale coal electricity production. However, the structural contradictions of the power coal supply chain in China have been interfering with the inventory control decisions of the power plant for many years.
[0004] As an energy material, the transportation and storage of power coal are relatively simple. However, due to the great uncertainty of coal production at the upper end and consumption at the lower end, the coal-fired power plant generally signs a medium and long-term order agreement with the coal enterprise, i.e. the upstream coal mine, and the procurement quantity can basically meet the power generation demand. When the market gradually opens up and the price of power coal slowly stabilizes through market competition, the power plant may choose higher quality and higher realization rate of power coal in the market to meet part of the power generation demand. At this time, the power plant bears the risk, but obtains more benefits.
[0005] At present, there is a phenomenon of further expansion of electricity demand, increase of installed capacity of thermal power in some areas, and increase of demand for power coal. However, due to the lack of upstream production capacity and transportation capacity and other circumstances, there are still occasional problems of power supply tension and instability in some areas. Generally speaking, in order to avoid the problem of unstable power coal supply as much as possible, the power plant will set a high safety inventory to effectively reduce the risk and loss of coal supply.
[0006] At present, the research on power coal or coal (coal) in China mainly focuses on how to reduce the cost. Due to the strong dependence on coal as a primary energy in China, and the problem of non-correspondence between energy and load distribution, it directly leads to a large amount of funds occupied by storage and transportation costs. At the same time, China is in the key period of energy transformation, and the demand for cost control and optimization of coal-fired power plants is further highlighted, so optimizing the power coal inventory and transportation problem becomes an important way to reduce cost and improve efficiency. SUMMARY

[0022] Further, the total inventory cost TR of the coal-fired power plant inventory system at time t is a function of: Z
[0023] TR Z = δ(RR - 1) x TR;
[0024] Wherein, RR is the ordering anticipation function of the coal-fired power plant inventory, and δ is the ordering anticipation function coefficient:
[0025]

Based on this relationship, coal inventory constraints are established. A variable integral function is used as the constraint, and the cumulative value of the constraint variable over a period is calculated to generate the coal inventory.

[0068] TR Z = δ(RR - 1) x TR;
[0069] wherein RR is the order anticipation function of the coal inventory of the coal-fired power plant, and δ is the order anticipation function coefficient:
[0070]
