[0025] As described in the background section, existing virtual power plant scheduling and planning methods only consider electricity as the link and do not take into account the impact of equipment such as cogeneration units, gas turbine boilers, and power-to-gas conversion equipment, resulting in poor scheduling strategy results.

[0030] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a scheduling method for an energy-coupled virtual power plant based on multiple energy storage devices, according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0031] Step S201: Obtain historical operating parameters, including power plant operating parameters and power plant cost parameters. The power plant operating parameters include the operating parameters of each component of the virtual power plant, and the power plant cost parameters include the operating costs of each component of the virtual power plant. The components include at least WPP units, PV units, CHP units, gas boilers, thermal storage tanks, gas storage tanks, energy storage devices, and electrical conversion devices. The PV units convert solar energy into electrical energy to supply the electrical load, and the WPP units convert wind energy into electrical energy to supply the electrical load. The aforementioned electrical conversion device and energy storage device are described. The CHP unit converts natural gas into electrical energy to supply the energy storage device and the electrical load, and the generated heat supplies the heat load. The gas boiler converts natural gas into heat energy to supply the heat load and the heat storage tank. The heat storage tank is used to store heat energy and supply the heat load. The electrical conversion device is used to receive electrical energy, perform electrical conversion to generate natural gas, and supply it to the gas storage tank. The gas storage tank is used to store natural gas and supply it to the CHP unit and the gas boiler.

[0032] Specifically, in actual production, virtual power plants introduce carbon capture devices in addition to power operation, consider the flow of two types of energy, and utilize by-products to improve overall economic benefits. Therefore, in order to solve the problem that the revenue growth of the planning and dispatching strategy is lower than expected due to the fact that the existing virtual power plant dispatching method does not consider the equipment required for multi-energy integration and the related impact of carbon capture devices, this application proposes to first determine the structure of the virtual power plant, including generating units, energy storage devices, and flexible components.

The electrical energy storage devices can store excess electricity and release it during peak load periods. Waste heat from the cogeneration units and heat generated by the gas-fired boilers can supply the heat load or be stored in thermal storage tanks. Furthermore, the cogeneration units and gas-fired boilers are driven by natural gas. Power-to-gas (P2G) equipment can catalytically produce methane from carbon dioxide. The generated methane can be supplied to the cogeneration units and gas turbines or stored in gas storage tanks, with its flow determined by the operating power of the cogeneration units and gas-fired boilers.

[0034] In addition, based on the operating characteristics of each of the above components, their costs are determined, including the operating costs of power sources and heat sources, the operating conditions of various energy storage devices, and the operating costs of electric-to-gas generator units.

[0037] Step S203: Construct a power plant cost model based on the above power plant simulation model and the above power plant cost parameters. The above power plant cost model is used to simulate the cost trend of the above virtual power plant as the operating parameters of the above power plant simulation model change.

[0038] Specifically, based on the relationship between the operating characteristics and operating costs of each of the above-mentioned components, a power plant cost model is constructed on the basis of the power plant simulation model, and the power plant simulation model and the power plant cost model are interconnected.

[0039] Step S204: Construct a target constraint group. The target constraint group is used to limit the range of values ​​of the operating parameters of the power plant simulation model. The target constraint group includes at least power balance constraints, CHP unit output constraints, WPP unit output constraints, PV unit output constraints, CHP unit power constraints, and reserve capacity constraints.

[0040] Specifically, to prevent the control results from not conforming to actual operation or damaging the components of the virtual power plant, this application sets the aforementioned target constraint group to limit the range of values ​​of the operating parameters of the power plant simulation model during the solution process, thereby ensuring the feasibility of the obtained scheduling strategy.

[0041] Step S205: Under the constraints of the above-mentioned target constraint group, with the maximum net profit of the above-mentioned virtual power plant as the objective function, the operating parameters of the above-mentioned power plant simulation model are solved to obtain the power plant control parameters, and the operation of the above-mentioned virtual power plant is controlled according to the above-mentioned power plant control parameters.

[0042] Specifically, under constraints, the operating parameters of the above-mentioned power plant simulation model are solved to obtain the power plant control parameters, with the objective function being to maximize the net profit of the virtual power plant. The operation of the virtual power plant is then controlled according to the above-mentioned power plant control parameters so that the virtual power plant can obtain the maximum profit.

[0043] In this embodiment, firstly, historical operating parameters are obtained. These historical operating parameters include power plant operating parameters and power plant cost parameters. The power plant operating parameters include the operating parameters of each component of the virtual power plant, and the power plant cost parameters include the operating costs of each component of the virtual power plant.
