Influenced by factors such as meteorology and the market, there are resource endowments in the energy supply and demand of urban energy systems. Cross-seasonal energy storage technology can achieve large-scale energy time-series adjustment over a longer time scale and a wider spatial range, effectively addressing a series of problems caused by differences in wind and solar resource endowments and energy prices.

This indicates the upper limit of the transmission power of a substation, expressed in MW. Sm indicates the maximum rate at which natural gas can be purchased. 3 / h.
[0091] (4) Unit maintenance constraints
[0092] As the core coupling element connecting the three subsystems of electricity, heat, and gas, the reliable operation of the combined heat and power (CHP) unit is crucial for urban multi-energy flow systems.
[91] Assume that each cogeneration unit is overhauled once a year, and the overhaul period must meet certain requirements, namely:
[0093]
[0094]
[0095] In the formula, N m,min and N m,max These represent the earliest and latest start times for the maintenance of the m-th combined heat and power unit; J min and J max These represent the earliest and latest times when a cogeneration unit can begin maintenance, respectively; τ m,i The variable is 0-1 and is used to characterize the start of maintenance of the cogeneration unit. A value of 1 indicates that the m-th unit starts maintenance in time period i.
[0096] A single maintenance operation requires a certain amount of time. If the combined heat and power unit begins maintenance during time period τ, then:
[0097]
[0098]
[0099] In the formula, N represents the number of hours required for the maintenance of the m-th combined heat and power unit; dur Indicates the number of time periods required for maintenance; y m,i The value is a 0-1 variable used to characterize the maintenance status of the cogeneration unit. When the value is 1, it means that the m-th cogeneration unit is under maintenance during time period i; when the value is 0, it means that the m-th cogeneration unit is not under maintenance during time period i.
[0100] The number of cogeneration units that can be simultaneously maintained in a multi-energy flow system in a town is limited by maintenance capacity; therefore, the number of cogeneration units under maintenance must meet certain constraints. Furthermore, cogeneration units cannot be simultaneously under maintenance and in operation.

[0104] (5) Equipment operating constraints
[0105] To ensure the safe operation of energy production, conversion, and storage equipment within urban areas, certain constraints must be met, namely...
[0106]
[0107] In the formula, and represents the historical power output of wind and solar power during time period i, in MW.
[0108] Step 3: Establish a joint optimization model for the planning and operation of an electric-heat-gas multi-energy flow system that takes into account cross-seasonal thermal storage;
[0109] The joint optimization model for planning and operation aims to minimize the sum of the annualized investment cost of the cross-seasonal thermal storage system and the annual operating cost of the electricity-heat-gas multi-energy flow system.
[0110] Establish the following objective function:
[0111] min(C cap +C ope )
[0112] Among them, C cap C represents the annualized investment cost of the equipment. ope The annual operating costs of the planned urban multi-energy flow system are expressed as follows:
[0113]

[0121] Step 4: Solve the above objective function to determine the joint optimization results of the planning and operation of the electric-thermal-gas multi-energy flow system that takes into account cross-seasonal thermal storage.
[0122] The joint optimization model for the planning and operation of the multi-energy flow system of electric-thermal-gas considering cross-seasonal thermal storage is a linear optimization problem under multiple constraints, which can be solved by various methods. For example, it can be built using the Yalmip platform and the optimization solver Gurobi can be called to obtain the result.
[0123] The annual source-load data of a certain region in East China was selected for analysis. The basic parameter settings include: (1) combining the typical daily source-load energy supply and demand per unit value curve and the source-load benchmark value to obtain the average output of wind and solar power and the average load of electricity, heat and gas for each hour; (2) the operating parameters of the coupling equipment and energy storage equipment are shown in Table 1; (3) the annual electricity purchase from the upstream power grid shall not exceed 280,000 MWh, the electricity purchase power shall not exceed 80 MW, and the gas purchase rate from the upstream gas grid shall not exceed 12,000 Sm. 3 / h; (4) Substation carbon emission coefficient 0.4tCO2 / MWh, wind power carbon emission coefficient 0.0276tCO2 / MWh, photovoltaic power carbon emission coefficient 0.0584tCO2 / MWh, natural gas carbon emission coefficient 5.61×10 -5 tCO2 / MJ, exchange rate is €1 = 7.27 yuan; (5) purchase price from the upstream power grid is 0.45 yuan / kWh, natural gas price takes seasonal fluctuations, spring price is 2.113 yuan / Sm 3 In summer, the price is 1.934 yuan / Sm. 3 The price in autumn is 1.936 yuan / Sm 3 In winter, the price is 3.272 yuan / sm 3 (6) The maintenance capacity of the combined heat and power unit is set at 1 unit, and the number of maintenance times per year is set at 1. (7) The upper limit of the volume of natural gas mixed with hydrogen is set at 20%. (8) The lower limit of the capacity planning of the cross-seasonal thermal storage system is set at 1000GJ, i.e. 278MWh. At the same time, in order to avoid the problem of land occupation caused by excessive thermal storage volume, the upper limit of the planned capacity should be set. Referring to the actual project, it is set at 6000MWh. Other detailed parameters are shown in Table 2. (9) The subsidy price of the electric hydrogen production system from the higher-level government is set at 0.25 yuan / kWh.

[0125]
[0126]
[0127] Table 2 Detailed Planning Parameters for Seasonal Thermal Storage Systems
[0128]
[0129] The planning of the urban multi-energy flow system was realized by using the Yalmip platform and the Groubi solver, taking into account the cross-seasonal thermal storage and hydrogen production system. The planning and operation of the system were jointly optimized. The planning results are shown in Table 3.
[0130] Table 3 Planning Results
[0131] Configuration variables Configuration results Cross-seasonal thermal storage system capacity / MWh 6000 Electrolytic cell rated power / MW 1.4821 <![CDATA[Hydrogen storage tank gas storage capacity / Sm 3 > 33767
[0132] As shown in Table 3, the planned capacity of the inter-seasonal thermal storage system has reached its upper limit. This is mainly due to two reasons: (1) the technology of inter-seasonal thermal storage is relatively mature and the cost is low; (2) there is idle power in the heating devices of the urban multi-energy flow system. The energy flow relationship of the planned urban multi-energy flow system is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0133] Depend on Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that since the cross-seasonal thermal storage system is in a heat release state from November 15 to March 15 of the following year, and in a heat charging state for the rest of the time, this alleviates the heating pressure in winter to a certain extent, and also reduces the degree of limitation on the power output capacity of the cogeneration unit due to the low heat demand in summer. Therefore, after considering the planning of cross-seasonal thermal storage and hydrogen production systems: (1) During June to August, the amount of electricity purchased from outside the plant will decrease significantly. After the cogeneration unit breaks through the heat output limit, the output of the cogeneration unit No. 2, which has a higher overall efficiency, will increase significantly. The advantage of the low minimum output limit of cogeneration unit No. 1 will no longer exist, and the output will decrease significantly. (2) During the peak season for heat demand, the electricity consumption of electric boilers will decrease due to the heat supply of the cross-seasonal energy storage system. (3) The overall trend of hydrogen production power consumption shows a certain degree of following the demand and price of natural gas and the overall resource endowment trend of clean energy. It shows the characteristics of "maximum in winter, followed by spring and autumn, and minimum in summer". This is mainly because hydrogen production can consume excess clean energy, mix it with natural gas, and reduce the demand for gas load. Among them, the electricity consumption of the hydrogen-generating device was the largest in January and December, both exceeding 1100MWh; (4) The consumption of wind power and photovoltaic power has increased to a certain extent, and the overall consumption of clean power has increased by 1688MWh. This is mainly due to the hydrogen-generating device. However, due to the high cost of the hydrogen-generating device, its configuration capacity is small, resulting in a small increase in the overall consumption of wind and solar power; (5) The introduction of the hydrogen-generating device has played a role in smoothing out the fluctuations of wind and solar power to a certain extent, so the total charging and discharging capacity of the battery has decreased.
[0134] Depend on Figure 6 and Figure 7It can be seen that after considering the planning of the cross-seasonal thermal storage and electric hydrogen production system: (1) The heating situation of the cogeneration unit and electric boiler is consistent with the results of the power subsystem, and will not be elaborated here; (2) The heat output of the gas boiler is generally reduced. During June to August, the main reason is that the introduction of the cross-seasonal thermal storage device allows the cogeneration unit to break through the heat output limit, thereby compressing the heat supply of the gas boiler during the summer. During the heating season, the heat supply of the gas boiler is also reduced due to the heat supply of the cross-seasonal thermal storage system; (3) The heat charge and release of the heat storage tank is generally reduced, especially during June to August. The reason for this phenomenon is that the surplus heat during this period is mainly stored for a long time through the cross-seasonal thermal storage device; (4) In order to avoid the cross-seasonal thermal storage system occupying too much land area, the planned capacity of the thermal storage system is relatively small compared with the heat storage demand. It is mainly used to alleviate the output coupling constraint of the cogeneration unit and absorb the surplus heat during the summer when the natural gas price is low and the electricity demand is high. The heat charge is very small during other periods of the non-heating season.
[0135] Depend on Figures 8 to 10 It can be seen that, after considering the planning of cross-seasonal thermal storage and electric hydrogen production systems: (1) Except for a slight decrease in the total energy supply of mixed hydrogen gas in February, thanks to the role of electric hydrogen production units in absorbing surplus clean electricity, the total energy supply of mixed hydrogen gas in urban multi-energy flow systems increased in other months, with the increase being more significant from June to August. This was mainly due to the increased gas demand of cogeneration units, which also led to an increase in the purchase of natural gas during the summer; (2) During the winter, the purchase of natural gas, the total gas supply from gas sources and gas storage facilities all decreased, mainly due to the supplementary energy supply role played by the electric hydrogen production system. Among them, the hydrogen consumption was the highest in December, reaching 2.96 × 10 5 Sm 3 The energy provided accounts for 1.45% of the total energy supplied by mixed hydrogen gas; (3) The gas storage facility stores gas in the summer when the gas consumption is low and the natural gas price is low, and releases gas in the winter when the gas consumption is high and the natural gas price is high, so as to realize the cross-seasonal transfer of gas load, reduce gas supply pressure and reduce costs; (4) The hydrogen storage tank of the electric hydrogen production system not only plays the role of buffering the gas flow, but also can adjust the amount of hydrogen entering and leaving, so as to realize the cross-month transfer of hydrogen energy supply and demand.
