Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coal-fired power unit configuration optimization and flexibility enhancement technology, specifically involving a coupling system and control method for integrating high- and medium-temperature energy storage to enhance the flexibility of coal-fired power units. Background Technology

[0002] my country is accelerating the construction of a new power system, with new energy sources such as wind and solar power becoming the mainstay of energy supply. However, the large-scale grid connection of intermittent energy sources like wind and solar power has significantly impacted the safe and stable operation of the power system. To build a power system with a high proportion of new energy generation, coal-fired power generation will serve as an important peak-shaving resource due to my country's energy endowment of being rich in coal, poor in oil, and lacking in gas. However, coal-fired units are limited by the boiler-turbine energy flow coupling, resulting in insufficient flexibility and restricting the proportion of renewable energy connected to the grid. Therefore, flexibility retrofitting is an inevitable choice to improve the flexibility of coal-fired units. Summary of the Invention
