Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of smart grid technology, and in particular relates to a method and system for optimizing the scheduling of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in pumped storage power stations. Background Technology

[0002] Hydropower, as a highly promoted clean energy source, has already penetrated urban and rural power distribution networks as a distributed power source, severely impacting network quality such as voltage and frequency stability. To cope with the impact of hydropower fluctuations on the power grid, the distribution network needs increased investment, leading to a decline in the efficiency of hydropower integration. This also significantly limits the further development of hydropower in urban and rural power distribution networks. Integrating pumped-storage hydropower stations into the distribution network can increase the proportion of clean energy in the power system, incentivize users to invest in the construction of pumped-storage hydropower stations, and achieve the goals of environmental protection and reduced electricity resource costs. Improving the distribution network's capacity to absorb pumped-storage hydropower and mitigating the impact of hydropower on the distribution network have become challenging issues for the further development of this clean energy source. The distribution network's absorption of hydropower includes two aspects…

[0003] The research aims to improve two key aspects: firstly, to increase the power absorption capacity, and secondly, to enhance the distribution network's ability to maintain voltage and frequency stability. A method and system for optimizing the scheduling of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at pumped-storage power stations has been developed, thereby improving the distribution network's capacity to absorb hydropower. Energy storage devices can participate in grid dispatch as both controllable loads and controllable power sources. However, the applicant believes that thermal power has mature real-time control technologies and equipment, while energy storage devices lack the necessary conditions for flexible control. Therefore, a machine learning model is used to process historical operating data of pumped-storage power stations to predict their future real-time operating states. Combined with relevant grid constraints, UAV scheduling is optimized. A mathematical optimization toolkit solver is used to solve a planning model constructed based on the constraints set for the real-time operating state of the pumped-storage power station and the corresponding grid constraints to achieve dynamic scheduling optimization.

[0004] This invention takes into account the dynamic changes of pumped storage power stations. After obtaining the real-time operating status of the pumped storage power station, the objective function model constructed can better obtain the optimal unit scheduling optimization method according to the constraints. Thus, the solver can solve the problem quickly and reliably, which can improve the intelligent scheduling level of the entire power grid. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a method and system for optimizing the scheduling of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in pumped storage power stations.

[0006] In a first aspect of the present invention, a method for optimizing the scheduling of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) units in a pumped storage power station is provided, characterized in that the method includes the following steps:

The second real-time operation data is a parameter with the same parameter features as the first historical operation data but different feature vector values. The second real-time working state is a parameter with the same parameter features as the first historical working state but different feature vector values.

[0015] Furthermore, the dynamic programming model is constructed based on the objective function model and the real-time working state, using the constraints obtained from the real-time working state and the objective function model.

[0021] Optimization and solution module: The dynamic programming model is solved using the solver optimization algorithm tool to obtain the optimal scheduling solution for the pumped storage power station.

[0022] This invention employs a machine learning model to process historical operational data of pumped storage power stations to predict their future real-time operating status. Combined with relevant grid constraints, it optimizes the scheduling of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) groups. The invention also uses a mathematical optimization toolkit solver to solve a planning model constructed based on the constraints set for the real-time operating status of the pumped storage power station and the corresponding grid constraints, thereby achieving dynamic scheduling optimization.

[0028] The invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] In a first aspect, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention provides a method and system for optimizing the scheduling of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a pumped storage power station.

[0030] In a first aspect of the present invention, a method for optimizing the scheduling of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) units in a pumped storage power station is provided, characterized in that the method includes the following steps:
