TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of electrical engineering, and more particularly relates to a new energy power station spot transaction strategy simulation and market optimization operation method and system based on principal-agent game. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0002] Since the new round of power reform, China has gradually implemented spot market pilots and promoted renewable energy to participate in spot market transactions, and wind, solar and other new energy and traditional power sources such as thermal power to realize bidding on the same platform. Wind power, photovoltaic and other new energy have the technical and economic characteristics of zero marginal cost, and traditional power market simulation operation methods generally treat them as market boundary conditions for "passive optimization", without considering their transaction strategies and game behaviors in the spot market. On the other hand, existing market force analysis methods and regulatory means are generally limited to thermal power units, and have not considered new energy power stations with almost negligible marginal cost. With the increasing proportion of renewable energy investment installed capacity, the uncertainty on both sides of the system has significantly increased, leading to increased volatility of spot prices, and their transaction strategies and game behaviors will become increasingly important. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a spot transaction strategy simulation and market optimization operation method for new energy power stations. SUMMARY

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and explicit, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0031] As shown in the drawings, the new energy power station spot transaction strategy simulation and market optimization operation method based on principal-agent game of the present application comprises the following steps: Figure 1

[0032] S1, a transaction strategy optimization model of each new energy power station is established with the maximum power generation income of each new energy power station as the target. Specifically, the objective function is to maximize the power generation income (= electricity sales income - power generation cost):

[0033]

[0034] The constraint condition is to ensure the increasing nature of the seller bidding curve.

[0035]

[0036] In the formula, Ω R is the set of wind power and photovoltaic units owned by the Rth new energy power station, c w , c pv are the marginal power generation costs of wind power / photovoltaic units, p w,b,t , p pv,b,t are the output powers of the w / pv wind power / photovoltaic unit at the bth segment t moment, and α w,b,t, α pv,b,t are the seller prices of the w / pv wind power / photovoltaic at the bth segment t moment.

[0037] S2, an optimization dispatching model of the electricity spot market is established with the minimum system power supply cost as the target and the power spot market operation constraints as the constraint conditions. Specifically, the objective function is to minimize the system power supply cost (= thermal power unit power generation cost + new energy power station power generation cost + load shedding loss). In the present application, it is assumed that the existing market force supervision means is effective, so the thermal power unit is priced according to its marginal cost:

[0038]

[0039] The constraints are respectively:

[0040] ① System power balance constraint;

[0041]

[0042] ② Thermal power unit output constraint;

[0043]

[0044] ③ New energy power station output constraint;

[0045]

[0046] ④ Load shedding power constraint.

[0047]

[0048] In the formula, D t is the electricity demand of all non-market users at time t, is the maximum / minimum declared capacity of thermal power unit g, is the maximum declared capacity of wind power w / solar pv in the b section, Q w,t, α pv,t is the maximum available capacity of wind power w / solar pv at time t, is the maximum capacity of interruptible load. λ t is the Lagrange dual variable of power balance constraint; is the Lagrange dual variable corresponding to each inequality constraint.

[0049] S3, based on the principal-agent game theory, a double game model is established with new energy power station as the upper leader and market operator as the lower follower; further, through Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition (KKT condition), the market clearing optimization model of the lower layer is equivalent to the constraint condition in the transaction strategy optimization model of each new energy power station of the upper layer, thereby establishing a nonlinear transaction strategy optimization problem of each new energy power station, which is essentially a "mathematical programming with equilibrium constraints" problem (MPEC);

[0050] Specifically, it can be divided into the following three steps.

[0063]

[0064] S33, the KKT conditions formed by S32-①~④ are combined with the constraint conditions of S1 in each new energy power station optimization problem, so that the double-layer master-slave game model of each new energy power station is converted into a nonlinear single-layer constraint condition, that is, the MPEC problem of each new energy power station.

[0065] S4, the MPEC problem of each new energy power station is converted into a constraint condition through KKT condition, and is combined to form "equilibrium problem with equilibrium constraints" (EPEC), so that the original complex problem is converted into a single-layer optimization model, and can be solved by NLP commercial solver, and finally realizes the simulation of new energy power station transaction strategy and market clearing operation simulation, which is used to guide the clearing price prediction, market benefit evaluation and other core businesses of market operator.

[0066] Specifically, it can be divided into the following two steps.

[0067] S41, reconstruct the MPEC problem of each new energy power station, and establish the Lagrange dual function of each new energy power station transaction strategy optimization problem. The reconstructed optimization problem of each new energy power station is as follows:

[0071]

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] The Lagrangian dual function is constructed in a similar way as S31, and is not repeated here.

[0075] S42, KKT conditions of each MEPC problem are solved simultaneously to transform the original complex problem into a single-layer nonlinear optimization problem, and NLP commercial solver is used to solve it. The final optimization problem consists of the following parts:

[0076] ① The original problem equality constraints, as shown in step S2.
