Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of power system optimization and scheduling, and in particular to a method and system for joint operation of multiple virtual power plants considering shared hydrogen energy storage. Background Art

[0002] Under the dual carbon background, the installed capacity of renewable energy units such as photovoltaic and wind power has been increasing year by year. However, since photovoltaic and wind power are greatly affected by environmental factors and their output is obviously intermittent and volatile, their large-scale access to the power grid will have a certain impact on the stability of the power system, power quality and operation planning.

[0003] Existing technologies use information and communication technologies to organically integrate distributed resources such as power sources, loads, and storage within the power system industry chain, forming an integrated digital energy management system for power generation, grid operation, load management, and storage, significantly facilitating the integration of renewable energy. While energy storage technology can effectively address the uncertainty associated with renewable energy processing, its high installation costs hinder its widespread adoption. Shared energy storage, on the other hand, allows all users to share the cost of storage and enjoy shared services. Its innovations in business models and pricing mechanisms can be effectively applied in real time and drive the rapid development of energy storage technology. However, when integrating renewable energy, virtual power plants are currently significantly impacted by the intermittent and volatile nature of renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics. These uncertainties present significant challenges in their scheduling, including grid stability issues, power balancing difficulties, and reduced power quality. While energy storage technology can mitigate the uncertainty associated with renewable energy to a certain extent, its high cost remains a major obstacle to its widespread adoption. In scenarios where multiple virtual power plants operate in concert, effectively allocating and reducing storage costs is a pressing issue. Finally, in the scenario of joint operation of multiple virtual power plants, how to optimize the operation strategy of each virtual power plant under uncertain conditions, and how to effectively utilize shared energy storage resources to improve overall operating efficiency and economic benefits are still difficulties in current research.

[0075] The equivalent annual cost of the initial investment in shared hydrogen energy storage satisfies the following relationship:

[0083]

[0084] Where, P EL (t) and P FC (t) are the electrolysis power and combustion power of shared hydrogen energy storage in period t, respectively; and are the maximum permitted leased electrolyzer power and fuel cell power of shared hydrogen energy storage, respectively; and B are the maximum power limits of the electrolyzer and fuel cell for the shared hydrogen energy storage that can be leased; EL (t) and B FC (t) are Boolean variables corresponding to the electrolyzer and fuel cell for shared hydrogen energy storage, B EL (t) takes 1 and B FC(t) takes 0 to indicate that the shared hydrogen energy storage is in electrolysis state during period t, and B EL (t) takes 0 and B FC (t) takes 1 to indicate that the shared hydrogen energy storage is combustion during period t.

[0090] 4) The gas storage state constraint of the hydrogen storage tank satisfies the following relationship:

[0091]

[0092] Where SOH(t) is the gas content of the hydrogen storage tank during period t; is the rated hydrogen storage mass of the hydrogen storage tank; SOH max and SOH min They are the maximum and minimum gas storage states allowed by the hydrogen storage tank.

[0093] Specifically, the lower-level optimization model takes the minimum joint operation cost of each virtual power plant as the optimization goal, satisfying the following relationship:

[0094]

[0095] Where, F down is the joint operating cost of each virtual power plant; is the cost of electricity purchase and sale from the external power grid to the kth virtual power plant during the dispatch period; The electricity purchase and sales fee paid by the kth virtual power plant to the shared hydrogen energy storage during the dispatch period; is the cost of wind and solar power curtailment of the kth virtual power plant during the dispatch period.

[0096] Under the operating mechanism of shared hydrogen energy storage, each virtual power plant needs to pay service fees to the shared energy storage operator; at the same time, constraints on wind and solar power curtailment are introduced to increase the absorption rate of new energy.

[0097] The cost of electricity purchase and sale from the external power grid to the kth virtual power plant during the dispatch period satisfies the following relationship:

[0098]

[0099] Where p grid,buy (t) and p grid,sell (t) are the unit price of electricity purchased and sold by the virtual power plant from the external power grid during period t; and They are respectively the purchased power and sold power of the kth virtual power plant from the external power grid in period t.

[0100] The electricity purchase and sales fees paid by the kth virtual power plant to the shared hydrogen energy storage during the dispatch period satisfy the following relationship:

[0101]

[0102] The economic benefit of the shared hydrogen energy storage operator in providing services to each virtual power plant is the sum of the electricity purchase and sales fees paid by the kth virtual power plant to the shared hydrogen energy storage during the scheduling cycle.

[0103] The cost of wind and solar curtailment of the kth virtual power plant during the dispatch period satisfies the following relationship:

[0104]

[0105] Where λ ab is the penalty coefficient for curtailing wind and solar power; p ab is the average grid-connected price of wind and photovoltaic power; and are the power rejection of photovoltaic and wind power within the kth virtual power plant in period t.

[0106] Specifically, the optimization objective of the lower-level optimization model satisfies the following joint constraints:

[0107] 1) The power balance constraint among shared hydrogen energy storage, multiple virtual power plants, and the power grid satisfies the following relationship:

[0108]

[0109] Where, is the load demand within the kth virtual power plant during period t; and are the photovoltaic and wind power grid-connected powers within the kth virtual power plant in period t.

[0110] 2) To achieve autonomous coordination among multiple virtual power plants as much as possible, the amount of electricity purchased and sold by each virtual power plant to the grid is less than the maximum limit, satisfying the following relationship:

[0111]

[0112] Where, is the maximum limit.

[0113] 3) The wind and solar renewable energy consumption constraints must satisfy the following relationship:

[0114]

[0115] Where α is the minimum requirement for the virtual power plant to absorb renewable energy; and They represent the maximum photovoltaic power generation and the maximum wind power generation of the kth virtual power plant in period t respectively.

[0116] Step 3: Based on the state information, the upper-level optimization model is iteratively solved to obtain the optimal solution for the operating net profit of the shared hydrogen energy storage operator; the actual value, fluctuation range, and predicted value of the photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation of each virtual power plant are obtained, and the wind and solar uncertainty constraints are established; based on the optimal solution of the upper-level optimization model, under the wind and solar uncertainty constraints, the optimization objective of the lower-level optimization model is solved to obtain the basic value of the joint operating cost of each virtual power plant;

[0117] The optimal solution of the upper-level optimization model includes: the optimal economic benefit of the shared hydrogen energy storage operator in providing services to each virtual power plant, the optimal equivalent annual cost of the initial investment cost of shared hydrogen energy storage, and the optimal equivalent annual cost of the operation and maintenance cost of shared hydrogen energy storage.

[0118] After the optimal solution of the shared hydrogen energy storage operator's operating net profit is obtained by iteratively solving the upper-level optimization model according to the status information, since the upper-level optimization model of the present invention takes the maximization of the shared hydrogen energy storage operator's operating net profit over the entire life cycle as the optimization goal, the lower-level optimization model uses the optimal solution of the upper-level optimization model as a coupling variable, that is, the equivalence relationship between the economic benefits of the shared hydrogen energy storage operator corresponding to the optimal solution in providing services to each virtual power plant and the sum of the electricity purchase and sales fees paid by the kth virtual power plant to the shared hydrogen energy storage during the scheduling period is used to realize the coupling of the upper-level optimization model and the lower-level optimization model.

[0119] Specifically, the wind and solar uncertainty constraints satisfy the following relationship:

[0120]

[0121] Where, are the fluctuation amplitudes of photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation of the kth virtual power plant, are the predicted values ​​of photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation of the kth virtual power plant in period t, respectively; are the actual values ​​of photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation of the kth virtual power plant in period t, respectively.

[0122] According to the optimal solution of the upper-level optimization model, under the uncertainty constraints of wind and solar power, the optimization objectives of the lower-level optimization model are solved to obtain the basic value of the joint operating cost of each virtual power plant. This has high robustness and provides a stable and feasible space that can adapt to the uncertain characteristics of wind and solar power output for determining the optimal operating plan under the subsequent balance game of risk avoidance and risk pursuit.

[0123] Step 4: Take the maximum sum of the fluctuation amplitudes of photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation under the joint operation of each virtual power plant as the risk objective function, introduce the risk aversion deviation parameter, and use the basic value of the joint operation cost of each virtual power plant to construct the first constraint of the optimization objective of the lower-level optimization model. After introducing the benefit pursuit deviation parameter, use the basic value of the joint operation cost of each virtual power plant to construct the second constraint of the optimization objective of the lower-level optimization model. According to the optimal solution of the upper-level optimization model, the optimal solution of the lower-level optimization model that simultaneously meets the first constraint and the second constraint is used as the joint operation plan of multiple virtual power plants.

[0124] The optimal solution of the lower-level optimization model includes: the optimal value of the electricity purchase and sales fee of each virtual power plant from the external power grid during the dispatching cycle, the optimal value of the electricity purchase and sales fee paid by the virtual power plant to the shared hydrogen energy storage during the dispatching cycle, and the optimal value of the wind and solar power curtailment cost of the virtual power plant during the dispatching cycle.

[0125] The risk objective function satisfies the following relationship:

[0126]

[0127] Where δ is the sum of the fluctuation amplitudes of photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation under the joint operation of each virtual power plant.

[0128] The first constraint of the optimization objective of the lower-level optimization model satisfies the following relationship:

[0129]

[0130] Where, F down is the joint operating cost of each virtual power plant, is the basic value of the joint operation cost of each virtual power plant, γ ra is the risk aversion bias parameter.

[0131] When the optimization objective of the lower-level optimization model satisfies the first constraint, it means that when the operating net profit of the shared hydrogen energy storage operator is optimal, the lower limits of photovoltaic power generation output and wind power generation output are reduced in order to avoid risks, thereby achieving the optimal solution of the lower-level optimization model that does not lead to excessive wind and solar power abandonment rates due to risk aversion, and at the same time satisfies the first constraint and wind and solar power uncertainty constraints. It is a multi-virtual power plant joint operation plan that ensures the utilization rate of new energy under the uncertainty of wind and solar power output.

[0132] The second constraint of the optimization objective of the lower-level optimization model satisfies the following relationship:

[0133]

[0134] Where, F down is the joint operating cost of each virtual power plant, is the basic value of the joint operation cost of each virtual power plant, γ os Pursue deviation parameters for efficiency.

[0135] When the optimization objective of the lower-level optimization model satisfies the second constraint, it means that when the operating net profit of the shared hydrogen energy storage operator is optimal, the upper limit of photovoltaic power generation output and wind power generation output is increased in pursuit of efficiency. At this time, the proportion of new energy increases significantly, resulting in a decrease in system stability and reliability. The optimal solution of the lower-level optimization model that satisfies the second constraint and the wind and solar uncertainty constraint conditions is a multi-virtual power plant joint operation scheme that considers the uncertainty of wind and solar output to improve system stability.

[0136] The optimization objectives of the lower-level optimization model proposed in the present invention simultaneously satisfy the first constraint and the second constraint, which not only addresses the uncertainty of wind and solar power output, but also balances the needs of increasing the utilization rate of new energy and improving system stability, and realizes a comprehensive optimization of opportunistic multi-virtual power plant joint operation based on benefit pursuit and robust multi-virtual power plant joint operation based on risk avoidance.

[0137] In the embodiment, γ ra +γ os =1, the risk aversion bias parameter and the benefit pursuit bias parameter are both set to 0.5. By adjusting the specific values ​​of the risk aversion bias parameter and the benefit pursuit bias parameter, it is possible to select a personalized operation plan based on the risk tolerance and operation strategy of each virtual power plant. For virtual power plants with weak risk tolerance, increasing the risk aversion bias parameter and reducing the benefit pursuit bias parameter will lower the lower limit of reducing photovoltaic power generation output and wind power generation output, and increase the upper limit of reducing photovoltaic power generation output and wind power generation output; for virtual power plants pursuing operational benefits, reducing the risk aversion bias parameter and increasing the benefit pursuit bias parameter will increase the lower limit of reducing photovoltaic power generation output and wind power generation output, and lower the upper limit of reducing photovoltaic power generation output and wind power generation output.

[0138] The present invention promotes the two-tier scheduling optimization of collaborative autonomy of multiple virtual power plants by adopting shared hydrogen energy storage, comprehensively considers the cooperative game between shared hydrogen energy storage operators and multiple virtual power plant entities, and completes the fee settlement according to the energy interaction between each virtual power plant and the shared hydrogen energy storage and the power network. In the process of energy interaction between each virtual power plant and the shared hydrogen energy storage and the power network, the energy interaction model between each virtual power plant and the shared hydrogen energy storage system and the power network is used to calculate the relevant technical parameters, including the power purchase and sales power of each virtual power plant, the charging and discharging power of the shared hydrogen energy storage, and the hydrogen storage capacity of the hydrogen storage tank. Specifically, based on the energy interaction situation, the power purchase and sales power of each virtual power plant, the leasing scale and charging and discharging strategy of the hydrogen energy storage system, and the real-time storage capacity of the hydrogen storage tank are obtained. When a scheduling cycle is completed, the leased shared hydrogen energy storage resources are released.

It includes: an upper-layer optimization model with the optimization goal of maximizing the operating net profit of the shared hydrogen energy storage operator; and a lower-layer optimization model with the optimization goal of minimizing the joint operating cost of each virtual power plant.

[0143] The joint operation optimization module is used to take the maximum sum of the fluctuation amplitudes of photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation under the joint operation of each virtual power plant as the risk objective function, introduce the risk aversion deviation parameter, and use the basic value of the joint operation cost of each virtual power plant to construct the first constraint of the optimization objective of the lower-level optimization model; introduce the benefit pursuit deviation parameter, and use the basic value of the joint operation cost of each virtual power plant to construct the second constraint of the optimization objective of the lower-level optimization model; according to the optimal solution of the upper-level optimization model, the optimal solution of the lower-level optimization model that simultaneously meets the first constraint and the second constraint is used as the joint operation plan of multiple virtual power plants.
