Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated electric and thermal energy system scheduling, specifically a hierarchical collaborative scheduling method for multi-level heating systems and power systems. Background Technology

[0002] Electric-thermal coupling systems (EDGs) are a typical integrated energy system. The flexibility of district heating systems (DHS) can provide additional regulation capabilities for electric power systems (EPS), thereby promoting the absorption of wind power. In northern regions, county towns are actively developing combined heat and power (CHP) clean heating methods, and achieving synergy between electricity and heat has become a significant practical requirement under the "dual carbon" context. However, there is no coordination between the power grid, primary heating network, and secondary heating network. The fragmented scheduling between different entities leads to insufficient utilization of flexible resources in the secondary heating network and causes additional economic scheduling costs and severe wind curtailment in EHPs. Traditional fragmented scheduling also results in excessive heat output from CHP units, causing uneven heating network temperatures.

[0003] The power grid, primary heating network, and secondary heating network belong to different entities and operate independently. Current scheduling methods fail to coordinate these three systems, treating the secondary heating network as a load on the primary network and ignoring its topology and the significant flexible resources distributed within it. This leads to heavy loads on CHP units, low wind power utilization, and uneven temperature distribution. In other words, there is no unified scheduling and management system for the power grid, primary heating network, and secondary heating network. While traditional distributed algorithms address privacy and data protection issues related to boundary information exchange, they neglect the master-slave characteristics of the three-tiered system. Therefore, they are unsuitable for coordinated scheduling models involving the power grid, primary heating network, and secondary heating network. Furthermore, previously constructed optimized scheduling models contain nonlinear variables (logarithmic mean temperature difference) and bilinear terms (the product of mass flow rate and temperature in the thermal system), making the models unsolvable. Therefore, a refined secondary heating network model is needed to enable coordinated scheduling of the power grid, primary heating network, and secondary heating network, while considering the master-slave characteristics to achieve more refined hierarchical scheduling. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing scheduling methods that fail to coordinate the power grid, primary heating network, and secondary heating network, resulting in heavy loads on CHP units, low wind power utilization, uneven temperature distribution, and neglect of the master-slave characteristics of the secondary heating network, as well as the unsolvability of previously established optimized scheduling models, this invention provides a hierarchical collaborative scheduling method for multi-level heating systems and power systems.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a hierarchical coordinated scheduling method for multi-level heating systems and power systems, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1: First, a coordinated dispatch model of integrated electric and primary-secondary heating systems (CDEPS) was established, comprehensively considering the operation modes of the primary and secondary heating networks; that is, considering the topology of the primary and secondary heating networks, the primary heating network adopts qualitative regulation, and the secondary heating network adopts both qualitative and quantitative regulation methods, establishing constraints that conform to reality; then, the coordinated cooperation of the power grid, primary heating network, and secondary heating network is realized; specifically as follows:

[0007] The three-tiered dispatch model structure includes the power grid EPS, the primary heating network PHS, and the secondary heating network SHS. The first tier consists of various generator sets connected to the power grid, including CHP units, thermal power units, and wind power units. The CHP units act as coupling devices between the first two tiers (EPS and PHS), generating both heat and electricity. The second tier is the primary heating network PHS, which uses a radial pipe network as the main urban heat pipeline. The third tier involves PHS transferring heat to the third-tier heat pipelines via HES (Heat Exchange Station). Distributed boilers generate heat and transfer it to the heat pipelines, merging it with the heat from PHS. Finally, the heat is distributed to the heating load from the SHS. Specifically:

[0008] S1-1: Establishing a primary heating network model:

[0009] The objective function of PHS is to reduce the operating costs of cogeneration units and improve their economic efficiency.

[0010] (1)

[0011] This is the operating cost of a heating network. Let the cost function of the i-th generating unit at time t be denoted as , and its constraints include:

[0012] ① CHP Unit Constraints: The CHP unit is modeled as a convex polygon, and its power and heat output are within the following constraints:

[0013] (2)

[0014] in, These are the electrical and thermal outputs of the i-th CHP unit at time t, respectively. Let be the coefficient variable of the k-th extreme point of the convex polygon of the i-th unit at time t. Let i be the k-th extreme point in the feasible region of the convex polygon representing the electrical and thermal outputs of CHP unit i, respectively. Its cost is expressed as follows:

[0015] (3);

[0016] in q is the cost operating coefficient of CHP unit i, where q is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. These are the upper and lower limits of the electrical output of the CHP unit, respectively. These are the upper and lower limits of the thermal output of the CHP unit, respectively, and c is the specific heat capacity of water. It is the mass flow rate of node kc connected to the CHP unit. These are the temperatures at time t connected to node kc of the CHP unit in PHS and SHS, respectively. These are the upper and lower limits of the node temperature at node kc of the CHP unit, respectively.

[0017] ② Establish a primary heat network model:

[0018] In the mass regulation and control strategy, hydraulic constraints are not considered; the mass flow rates from different pipelines converge at the same node before reaching the outlet, and the established primary heat network model is as follows:

[0019] (4);

[0020] in, These represent the mass flow rate and temperature of the primary water supply pipeline j at the start and end times of time t. These are the mass flow rate and temperature of the primary network return water pipe j at the beginning and end of time t, respectively. These are the supply and return water temperatures at primary network node m, respectively. These are the mass flow rates of the primary water supply and return water pipelines, respectively. These are the beginning and end of the pipe at node m in the primary network, respectively.

[0021] As heat is lost to the external environment, the temperature of the pipe will gradually decrease; in addition, there is a transmission delay during the pipe transmission process, and the parameters in formula (4) are as follows:

[0022] (5);

[0023] (6);

[0024] (7);

[0025] symbol Numbers should be rounded to the nearest integer; and and It is an intermediate variable of time delay. It is the ambient temperature; The heat transfer time of heating pipe j in the heating and return water network; These are the density of water, the area of ​​the pipe, its length, and a constant;

[0026] S1-2: Establishing a secondary heat network model:

[0027] Compared to PHS, SHS has a water pump. In addition to the cost of the distributed boiler, the water pump also incurs costs, which are as follows:

[0028] (8);

[0029] It is the operating cost of the secondary heating network. and Let z represent the cost functions of the z-th boiler unit and the x-th water pump at time t, respectively, and their constraints include:

[0030] ① Constraints of distributed boilers:

[0031] The heat generated by the distributed boiler is transferred to the SHS (Supply Heat Exchanger) via a heat exchange station. The distributed boiler plays an important auxiliary combustion support role in the SHS, subject to the following constraints:

Let z be the fuel gas consumption of the distributed boiler z at time t; The conversion efficiency of the distributed boiler z. Let z be the cost coefficient for the distributed boiler; in addition, the power consumption of the water pump has an upper and lower limit, specifically:

[0034] (10);

[0035] in, It is the electrical output of pump x at time t. These are the maximum and minimum power of water pump x. Let x be the cost coefficient of water pump. It is the flow rate on the primary side of the heat exchange station. It refers to the pressure head at node kh, which connects to the heat exchange station in the water supply and return network. It is the pressure head at node kh, which connects to the heat exchange station in the water supply and return network;

[0036] ②Constraints of heat exchange station:

[0037] The amount of heat transferred from the primary side to the secondary side is determined by the difference in logarithmic mean temperature, as shown in the following formula:

[0038] (11);

[0039] in, It refers to the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange station. These are the heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer area of ​​the heat exchange station; HES refers to the inlet and outlet temperatures of the primary mass flow rate. These are the inlet and outlet temperatures of the mass flow rate during the secondary side phase;

[0040] After heat transfer, the temperature in the main pipe decreases, as shown in the following formula:

[0041] (12);

[0042] In the secondary piping of the HES, the heat output from the distributed boiler is combined with the heat transferred from the PHS, as shown in the following formula:

[0043] (13);

[0044] (14);

[0045] It is the flow rate on the primary side of the heat exchange station. These are the maximum and minimum heat exchange powers of HESg;

[0046] ③ Establish a secondary heat network model:

[0047] Unlike the regulation mode in PHS, SHS requires consideration of hydraulic constraints, with zero incompressible mass flow rate at each node. The secondary thermal network model is as follows:

[0048] (15);

[0049] in, These are the quality flow rates of the secondary water supply and return water, respectively. These are the load and the mass flow rate of the heat exchange station, respectively. These are the beginning and end points of the pipe at node n in the secondary network, respectively, and kl is the node connected to the load; the hydraulic constraints are as follows:

[0050] (16);

[0051] These are the maximum and minimum mass flow rate limits for the heating pipe j2; the Darcy–Weisbach equation indicates that the pressure loss caused by friction in the pipe is related to the square of the mass flow rate:

[0052] (17);

[0053] in, It is the pressure loss coefficient of the mass flow in pipe j2. These are the initial pressure heads at node k1, which connects to the pipeline in the supply and return water network; These are the end-stage pressure heads at node k2 connected to the pipeline in the supply and return water networks; to maintain the HES mass flow rate, the load pressure must be greater than the specified level:

[0054] (18);

[0055] in, It is the minimum heating pressure of HES g;

[0056] SHS has thermal constraints, including temperature mixing constraints and heat loss constraints, as shown in the following formula:

[0057] (19);

[0058] (20);

[0059] (twenty one);

[0060] in, These represent the mass flow rate and temperature of the secondary water supply pipeline j2 at the beginning and end of time t, respectively. These are the mass flow rate and temperature of the secondary network return water pipe j2 at the beginning and end of time t, respectively. It is the temperature of node n at time t in the SHS; in addition, since the pipes in the SHS are shorter than those in the PHS, the time delay of the mass flow rate is not considered.

[0061] In SHS (Supply, Heat, and Water) systems, buildings are considered heat loads. To maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, the temperature of the mass flow rate is limited, as shown in the following formula:

[0062] (twenty two);

[0063] in, It is the heat of the heat load. These are the upper and lower limits of the temperature at the load node kl;

[0064] S1-3: Establishing the power grid model:

[0065] EPS is constructed using a DC power flow model, as shown below:

[0066] (twenty three);

[0067] The power output of CHP units, thermal power units, and wind power units meets the load demand; among them... These represent the output electrical power of CHP unit i, thermal power unit v, and wind power unit e at time t, respectively. It is the electrical load at bus l at time t;

[0068] (twenty four);

[0069] The power flow through a transmission line must not exceed its maximum transmission power; among which, It is the power transmission distribution factor connecting bus l to line y. This is the maximum power flow transmission capacity limit of line y;

[0070] (25);

[0071] (26);

[0072] The power output of thermal power units should be within a certain range, while the power output of wind power units should be less than their predicted available power output. These are the maximum and minimum power output limits for thermal power units. This refers to the predicted output power of the wind turbine generator set.

[0073] (27);

[0074] (28);

[0075] (29);

[0076] (30);

[0077] Thermal power units' ramp-up and rotational reserve are also within a certain range, among which It refers to the uphill and downhill gradient of thermal power units. It represents the uplink and downlink rotating reserve capacity of the thermal power unit at time t. It is the total uplink and downlink spinning reserve capacity of the system at time t;

[0078] The operating cost of the power system is:

[0079] (31);

[0080] (32);

[0081] (33);

[0082] in, For the operating costs of thermal power units, For the operating costs of thermal power units, when the actual wind power output deviates from the predicted available power, it will result in penalty costs. It is the cost operating coefficient of thermal power units. It is the penalty coefficient for wind turbine units.

[0083] S2: Based on the steps established in S1, the operating costs of the power grid, primary heating network, and secondary heating network are summed to establish the objective function. Then, using the heat transfer approximation, secondary heating network model reshaping, and bilinear term convex relaxation, the non-convex terms in the model are made convex, forming an optimization problem; specifically as follows:

[0084] The goal of the CDEPS model is to minimize total operating costs, including generator sets in EPS, PHS, and SHS. The minimum total operating cost is as follows:

[0085] (34);

[0086] The proposed CDEPS model is constrained by EPS, PHS, and SHS, including formulas (2)~(7) and (9)~(30); however, the CDEPS model is non-convex and nonlinear: due to the logarithmic mean temperature difference, there is a nonlinear term in formula (11), and the presence of multiple bilinear and exponential terms in formulas (13) and (19)~(21) makes the SHS model non-convex. In order to reduce the computational complexity of the CDEPS model, the CDEPS model is made convex and then solved:

[0087] S2-1: Approximate principle of heat transfer:

[0088] The logarithmic mean temperature difference is approximately equal to the arithmetic mean temperature difference, and the approximation principle is as follows:

[0089] (35);

[0090] Therefore, the heat transfer equation in formula (11) is approximately a linear function:

[0091] (36);

[0092] S2-2: Reshaping the Secondary Heating Network Model

[0093] To address the bilinear term, the secondary heating network is reformulated as a linearized model that depends only on the proposed auxiliary variables, which are represented as follows:

[0094] (37);

[0095] Constraints (12) and (18)~(20) are equivalent to:

[0096] (38);

[0097] (39);

[0098] in, These are auxiliary variables for pipeline j2, distributed boiler z, HES, and heat loss j2, respectively.

[0099] The variables related to the upper and lower boundary conditions for temperature and mass flow rate should be within the following ranges:

[0100] (40);

[0101] The exponential function in constraint (38) is approximated by a first-order Taylor expansion:

[0102] (41);

[0103] The SHS model is restated using constraint formulas (2)~(7), (9)~(12), (14)~(18), (22)~(30), (36)~(38), (40)~(41);

[0104] S2-3: Convex relaxation of bilinear terms:

[0105] The auxiliary variable is also a bilinear term that needs to be relaxed in the SHS model; according to the piecewise McCormick method, the domain of the temperature variable in the bilinear term is selected and divided into three non-overlapping regions; the role of the binary parameter is to determine whether the temperature variable belongs to the divided domain, and the constraint (37) is relaxed to:

[0106] (42)

[0107] The CDEPS reconstruction problem after convex relaxation is transformed into a linearization problem; the constraints include the following: formulas (2)~(7), (9)~(12), (14)~(18), (22)~(30), (36), (38), (40)~(42).

[0108] S3: Design a solution method for the optimization problem. Nest the Benders algorithm into a three-level Benders hierarchical scheduling method. Divide the optimization problem into inner and outer iterative hierarchical solutions. The outer layer iteratively solves the EPS and DHS problems, while the inner layer iteratively solves the primary heating system (PHS) and secondary heating system (SHS) problems, achieving the optimal solution to the optimization problem, as detailed below:

[0109] The proposed hierarchical solution strategy for the CDEPS problem includes EPS, PHS, and SHS problems. The algorithm framework consists of two stages: inner iteration and outer iteration.

[0110] 1) First, initialize the outer iteration count. And set upper and lower limits. , ;

[0111] 2) Determine the outer convergence condition ,in This is the outer convergence threshold, set to 0.001 or less;

[0112] 3) Using the interior-point method, the model established based on the main problem EPS is solved to obtain the solution to the problem. ;

[0113] 4) Substitute the solution from step 3) into the subproblem. If the subproblem is feasible, we obtain the equality constraints. Lagrange multipliers Find the optimal cut OC that is feasible for the subproblem. , The boundary of the objective function of the subproblem is represented;

[0114] 5) Determine the inner convergence condition ,in This is the inner convergence threshold, which can be set to 0.001 or less;

[0115] 6) Using the interior-point method, solve the model established by the main problem PHS with its subproblems to obtain the solution to the problem. ;

[0116] 7) Substitute the solution from step 6) into the subproblem of the subproblem. If the subproblem of the subproblem is feasible, we obtain the equality constraint.

[0126] A hierarchical coordinated scheduling method for multi-level heating systems and power systems includes the following steps:

[0127] S1: First, a coordinated dispatch model CDEPS (Digital-Oriented Power Grid, Primary Heating Network, and Secondary Heating Network) was established, comprehensively considering the operation modes of the primary and secondary heating networks; that is, considering the topology of the primary and secondary heating networks, the primary heating network adopts qualitative regulation, and the secondary heating network adopts both qualitative and quantitative regulation methods, establishing constraints that conform to reality; then, the coordinated cooperation of the power grid, primary heating network, and secondary heating network is realized; specifically as follows:

[0128] The three-tiered dispatch model structure includes the power grid EPS, the primary heating network PHS, and the secondary heating network SHS. The first tier consists of various generator sets connected to the power grid, including CHP units, thermal power units, and wind power units. The CHP units act as coupling devices between the first two tiers (EPS and PHS), generating both heat and electricity. The second tier is the primary heating network PHS, which uses a radial pipe network as the main urban heating pipeline. The third tier involves the PHS transmitting heat to the third-tier heating pipelines via HES. Distributed boilers generate heat and transfer it to the heating pipelines, merging it with the heat from the PHS. Finally, the heat is distributed to the heating load from the SHS. Specifically:

[0129] S1-1: Establishing a primary heating network model:

[0130] The objective function of PHS is to reduce the operating costs of cogeneration units and improve their economic efficiency.
