AI Technical Summary
Existing SCUC models, when considering unit combinations with safety constraints, suffer from insufficient compactness and simplicity, fail to effectively integrate various operational technical characteristics, and do not adequately consider the synergistic effects of low-carbon objectives and minimum power generation cost objectives. In particular, the shortest operating time and downtime of coal-fired power generating units far exceed the optimization cycle.
Graph theory is used to characterize transmission constraints and enhance the unit operation model. Combined with the actual situation of unit operating parameters, the mathematical expressions of shortest operating time and downtime are added, and carbon emission cost term is added to the objective function. A SCUC model for calculating DC power flow using graph theory is constructed to optimize the expression of unit output and transmission constraints.
It improves the simplicity and compactness of the model, enhances the solution efficiency under grid congestion conditions, achieves synergistic optimization of power generation costs and carbon emission costs, and adapts to the expansion of power system scale.
