[0029] Step 2: Coordinated optimization of microgrids containing hybrid energy storage systems: Based on the mathematical model of the multi-energy storage system established in step 1 and combined with the microgrid operation mechanism, a coordinated optimization model of the microgrid system is constructed.

[0030] The coordinated optimization model of the microgrid system described above takes minimizing the daily operating cost as the objective function, specifically: minimizing the total cost minC of the microgrid operation containing the hybrid energy storage system Overall =C TL +C λ_FL +C λ_U +C λ_D +C λ_M +C U +C D , including: the cost of purchasing electricity from the main grid Cutting the cost of renewable energy output Carbon trading costs is the main grid time-of-use electricity price, P t TL is the tie line power; ν U_PV , ν U_WT Respectively reduce the cost of photovoltaic and wind power, P t PV _ max , P t WT _ max , P t PV , P t WT are the maximum and actual output of photovoltaic and wind power, respectively, D is the carbon trading price, E L is the carbon emission quota per unit of electricity generated, is the carbon emission per unit of electricity generated by the methanogenation device, is the carbon emission per unit of electricity generated by the gas turbine.

[0041] Step 3: Construct a dispatching mode including a hybrid energy storage system:

[0042] The microgrid includes a hydrogen energy storage system, an ammonia energy storage system, a natural gas energy storage system, and a battery energy storage system. The remaining electric energy of the new energy unit's electric energy supply load is stored in multiple ways through water electrolysis to produce hydrogen and further ammonia synthesis, methanation, and battery energy storage. When the output of new energy is less than the load demand, the stored energy is supplied to the power load in multiple forms such as hydrogen, ammonia fuel cells, natural gas generators, and battery energy storage. The remaining shortfall is supplemented by the upper power grid through transmission lines. In the process of energy scheduling, the daily operating cost is minimized as the optimization goal, and the solver is called to solve the problem to obtain the output value of the microgrid equipment containing the hybrid energy storage system at each moment.

[0043] Compared with the microgrid dispatching mode that only includes battery energy storage systems or hydrogen energy storage systems, the microgrid dispatching mode that includes hybrid energy storage systems comprehensively considers hydrogen energy storage, ammonia energy storage, natural gas energy storage and battery energy storage. It has a larger storage scale, higher flexibility, and full mobilization of a variety of flexible resources. It can effectively meet the charging and discharging needs brought about by changes in source and load, increase the consumption of new energy, and reduce operating costs.

[0044] After specific practical experiments, Figure 1 In the low-carbon microgrid with renewable energy power generation equipment shown in the figure, an optimization scheduling model is established with the goal of minimizing the total operating cost of the microgrid including reducing the output cost of renewable energy and the carbon trading cost. The YALMIP and GUROBI solvers in MATLAB are called to solve the problem, and the daily operation scheduling strategy of the low-carbon microgrid is obtained.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the low-carbon microgrid system includes: renewable energy power generation equipment wind turbines and photovoltaics, upper grid transmission lines, power loads, battery energy storage, and a variety of energy storage systems that convert electrical energy into other forms of energy. The hydrogen energy storage system includes a water electrolysis device, a hydrogen storage tank, and a hydrogen fuel cell. The ammonia energy storage system includes: a synthetic ammonia device that produces ammonia from hydrogen, an ammonia storage tank, and an ammonia fuel cell. The natural gas energy storage includes: a methanogenization device, a natural gas tank, and a natural gas generator. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it is the output of the new energy unit and the power demand of the power load, such as Figure 3 The figure shows the electricity price curve at each time.

[0046] 1) Hybrid energy storage system dispatch results: The dispatch results of the low-carbon microgrid including the hybrid energy storage system are as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown. Figure 4 As shown, it is the power output of each device in the microgrid. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the state of charge of hydrogen storage, battery energy storage, ammonia storage, and natural gas energy storage systems. As can be seen from the figure, the demand for power load is mainly supplied by wind turbines and photovoltaics. When the electricity price is low, more electricity is purchased from the main grid, while when the electricity price is high, more energy storage is used. Hydrogen energy storage has high power and is relatively stable because hydrogen has a high energy density and can be flexibly converted between electricity, ammonia, and natural gas. The state of charge of battery energy storage changes frequently because compared with other energy storage methods, battery energy storage has a fast response time and low start-stop cost, which can balance frequent power fluctuations.

[0047] 2) Comparison of different dispatching modes: As shown in Table 1, the implementation effect of the present invention is compared with the effect of the existing dispatching mode. Mode 1 does not include any energy storage, Mode 2 includes battery energy storage scheduling, and Mode 3 includes hydrogen energy storage scheduling. The proposed dispatching mode that takes into account hydrogen energy storage, ammonia energy storage, natural gas energy storage and battery energy storage is Mode 4. Compared with the existing microgrid dispatching modes 1 to 3, the dispatching mode proposed by the present invention reduces the amount of renewable energy abandoned by 71.08%, 69.69%, and 28.30%, respectively, and reduces the operating costs by 23.49%, 21.39%, and 4.43%, respectively.

[0048] Table 1 Comparison of different scheduling modes

[0049] Compared with the existing technology, this method can achieve the lowest daily operating cost and renewable energy abandonment by adding a hybrid energy storage system to the low-carbon microgrid and establishing a corresponding optimization scheduling model strategy compared with the low-carbon microgrid scheduling mode without an energy storage system or only considering a battery or hydrogen energy storage system.
