[0014] The molten salt participates in the operation of the unit in two stages: heat storage stage and heat release stage. In the heat storage stage, the molten salt stores the heat of the steam, and the output power of the unit decreases due to the decrease of the work steam; in the heat release stage, the molten salt releases the stored heat, and the output power of the unit is improved. The participation of the molten salt improves the peak shaving capacity of the unit, and also changes the operation mode of the unit, and various indexes of the coupling system will also change, and the influence of the molten salt needs to be considered when calculating the energy utilization efficiency and the benefit of the unit. In addition to changing the output power, the participation of the molten salt in the peak shaving of the unit will also change the coal consumption. In addition, the addition of the molten salt will bring a series of equipment and operation and maintenance costs. Considering the whole process of heat storage and heat release, the energy utilization efficiency and the benefit will change due to the changes of the output power and the coal consumption, and the degree of change of the indexes will be different due to the different flow and temperature of the molten salt in the operation process, and the trends of some technical indexes and other indexes with the change of the molten salt parameters also exist differences. Therefore, to find the appropriate molten salt parameters participating in the operation of the unit, the whole process of heat storage and heat release of the unit needs to be considered, and the differences of the technical indexes and other indexes with the change of the molten salt parameters also need to be considered, so as to find the optimal molten salt parameters.

[0093]

[0094] In the formula, B0 represents a random value in the range of 0-1; t represents the current iteration number; T represents the maximum iteration number.

[0095] 4) Determine the size of B f and W f , if B f is greater than W f , the whale falling stage formula is used to update the population, otherwise the population is not updated, then the target value of each individual is recalculated and the best parameters are determined;

[0100] 1. The whole process of the coupled molten salt heat storage thermal power unit is considered to improve the overall performance of the coupled system. Compared with only considering the heat storage process or the heat release process, the whole process of the molten salt participating in the peak shaving of the unit is included, the overall operation process is considered more fully and comprehensively, which helps to improve the performance of the unit in the whole process of heat storage and heat release, realizes the harmonious cooperation of the unit in the heat storage and heat release stages, and avoids the situation that the efficiency of a single operation process is too low.

[0101] 2. Balance the technical index and economic index of the whole process to ensure that the values of various indexes are balanced and the values of the indexes are not too low. During the change of the molten salt parameters, the change trends of the technical index and the economic index are not the same. Only considering the technical or economic index, the optimization result is too one-sided, other factors of the coupled system are ignored, and the performance of the coupled system in many aspects is insufficient. By balancing the technical and economic indexes of the whole process, the energy utilization efficiency and the peak shaving capacity of the unit can be optimized, and the revenue of the unit can be ensured, so that the optimal molten salt parameter configuration is realized.

[0102] 3. Selecting the Pareto optimality as the construction method of the objective function to ensure that the optimization result meets the expected requirements. The Pareto optimality finds the point closest to the ideal point as the optimization result in the operation optimization of the coupled molten salt heat storage thermal power unit, and each optimization index is considered. The final optimization result shows that the Pareto optimality focuses on the peak shaving capacity of the unit, and compared with other methods, it has greater advantages in the peak shaving capacity, cycle efficiency and net profit of the unit in the heat storage and heat release stages. Especially in the peak shaving capacity, the optimization result is more in line with the requirements and expectations of the thermal power unit, and it has obvious advantages in improving the flexibility of the thermal power unit.
