Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system control technology, and relates to a method, system, equipment and medium for estimating the balance margin of a power system. Background Technology

[0002] Power balance margin assessment is a crucial step in understanding the system's balance status, promptly identifying supply-demand imbalance risks, and making early balance optimization decisions. Currently, the widely used balance margin assessment method is the simplified linear superposition method. Positive balance margin = maximum generating capacity of conventional power sources + reliable generating capacity of renewable energy sources + tie lines - load forecasting - positive reserve; negative balance margin = load forecasting - predicted renewable energy generation - tie lines - minimum generating capacity of all types of power sources - spinning negative reserve. The advantages of this method are its clear concept, simple calculation, and ease of operation. However, its disadvantages are equally apparent: Disadvantage 1: This method can only passively calculate the balance margin index under the condition that the thermal power generation mode is fixed. When the thermal power generation mode and tie line plan are adjustable, it cannot obtain the system's balance margin and cannot actively leverage the guiding role of balance margin in renewable energy consumption and power supply security; Disadvantage 2: When network constraints exist, the maximum generating capacity of conventional power sources may be limited by network constraints, thus making it impossible to obtain an accurate generating capacity value, leading to inaccurate balance margin calculation results.

[0003] Furthermore, to mitigate climate change, accelerate clean and low-carbon development, and achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible, it has become a global consensus and an inevitable trend, thus proposing the construction of a new power system. A key characteristic of this new power system is the gradual increase in the proportion of renewable energy. As the proportion of renewable energy increases, on the one hand, extreme / process-based weather events such as "extreme cold with no sunlight," "extreme heat with no wind," and "prolonged rainy seasons" will significantly impact the output of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power, leading to a substantial decrease in the system's power supply capacity. Simultaneously, cold waves and high temperatures are usually accompanied by a significant increase in load demand, and the mismatch between power generation capacity and load demand further increases the pressure on power supply. On the other hand, renewable energy generation is characterized by short-term, large fluctuations. To maintain the dynamic balance of the system by adapting to these fluctuations, a large amount of peak-shaving and reserve resources are needed. Due to the insufficient flexibility of my country's regulation resources, the system also faces the challenge of fully absorbing renewable energy during periods of high renewable energy generation.

[0004] To proactively identify risks of supply-demand imbalances such as insufficient system power supply capacity and curtailment of renewable energy, power system dispatching and operation agencies need to conduct balance margin assessments in advance. This clarifies the system's power supply surplus and gaps, guiding subsequent operations. Currently, the main method for conducting balance margin assessments is to use positive balance margin as an example. Positive balance margin = maximum generating capacity of conventional power sources + reliable generating capacity of renewable energy sources + tie lines - load forecasting - safety reserve.

[0005] (1) Calculate the maximum power generation capacity of conventional power sources

[0006] Conventional power generation capacity includes: coal-fired power generation capacity, hydropower generation capacity, gas turbine power generation capacity, and other power generation capacity.

[0007] Power generation capacity of coal-fired units = Total operating capacity of coal-fired units - Capacity shut down due to coal shortage - Capacity hindered by defects in coal-fired power units - Capacity hindered by poor coal quality - Capacity hindered by coal-fired power, heating and gas supply - Capacity hindered by self-owned power plants and small thermal power plants.

[0008] Hydropower generating capacity = Total installed capacity of hydropower units - Capacity obstructed due to insufficient water head - Maintenance capacity of hydropower units.

[0009] Gas turbine generator capacity = Total installed capacity of gas turbine generators - Capacity of gas supply and heating obstructed - Maintenance capacity of gas turbine generators.

[0010] Power generation capacity of other types of generating units = installed capacity of other types of generating units - blocked capacity - maintenance capacity.

[0011] (2) Calculate the power generation capacity of new energy sources

[0012] Limited by factors such as numerical weather prediction and power prediction model algorithms, renewable energy power prediction has certain errors and significant spatiotemporal uncertainties. Furthermore, the regional renewable energy absorption capacity is limited, influenced by factors such as the regional power grid structure, power source composition, load characteristics, system reserve capacity, and regulation capabilities. Renewable energy included in the power balance refers to the value of renewable energy participating in the power balance after comprehensively considering the confidence level of renewable energy power prediction in the balance zone, as well as factors such as the characteristics of system sources, grids, and loads, and correcting the regional renewable energy prediction results.

[0013] The output of renewable energy sources included in the power balancing calculation is calculated as follows: (Wind power forecast result in the balancing area * k1) + (Photovoltaic power forecast result in the balancing area * k2), where k1 and k2 are correction coefficients for the wind power and photovoltaic power forecast results, respectively. These correction coefficients vary across different regions and time periods and need to be determined by statistically analyzing the forecast accuracy of renewable energy sources in different seasons in the local area.

[0014] (3) Calculate the positive balance margin

[0015] Taking a certain day in Shanxi as an example, the load forecast at 18:30 is 33700MW. The adjustable upper limit of coal-fired power units is 38190MW, the adjustable upper limit of hydropower units is 900MW, the adjustable upper limit of gas-fired power units is 800MW, the adjustable upper limit of other types of units is 1300MW, and the grid obstruction is 0MW. The calculated adjustable upper limit of conventional power sources in the system is 41690MW. The output of new energy sources included in the balance is 4170MW, the power received is -6450MW, the load reserve demand is 1060MW, and the emergency reserve demand is 3877MW. The calculated balance margin is 273MW. This shows that, under the premise of ensuring the safe operation of the system, based on the current load forecast, the Shanxi power grid can bear a load increase of 273MW at 18:30.

[0016] The above is a detailed description of the current calculation method. This method can only passively calculate the balance margin index when the thermal power plant start-up mode is fixed. When the thermal power plant start-up mode and tie line plan are adjustable, the balance margin of the system cannot be known, and the balance margin cannot actively play a guiding role in the consumption of new energy and power supply. When there are network constraints, the maximum power generation capacity of conventional power sources may be limited by network constraints, so it is impossible to obtain an accurate power generation capacity value, which leads to inaccurate balance margin calculation results.

[0067] Example 1

[0068] The power system balance margin estimation method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0069] Considering the cost of purchased electricity and penalty costs, with the goal of minimizing total cost, the optimization objective is constructed as follows:

[0070]

[0071] Among them, S i,t p represents the operating state of unit i at time t, where 1 indicates startup and 0 indicates shutdown, and is a variable for optimization decision; i,t F(p) represents the output of unit i at time t, and is an optimization decision variable. i,t U(p) represents the operating cost corresponding to the unit's output, as shown in equation (2). i,t ) represents the start-up cost of unit i at time t, as shown in equation (3), C(Tie,t) represents the power purchase cost of the system at time t, as shown in equation (4), f(·) represents the penalty cost of the system at time t, T is the total number of calculation time periods, and I is the total number of units.

[0072] Among them, the operating cost F(p) corresponding to the unit output i,t )for:

[0073]

[0074] Among them, a i ,b i ,c i The quadratic, linear, and constant terms of the cost curve for unit i can be obtained experimentally and are known values.

[0075] The start-up cost U(p) of unit i at time t i,t )for:

[0076]

[0077] Among them, B i,0 K is the cost required to start up the boiler of unit i from a cooled state, which is a constant; g τ is the turbine start-up cost, which is a constant; τ is the boiler cooling time constant, t s This refers to the downtime.

[0078] The system's electricity purchase cost C(Tie,t) at time t is:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, Tie t For the purchased electricity at time t, For price.

[0081] The constraints involved in this embodiment include system balance constraints, unit operation constraints, and grid transmission capacity constraints.

[0082] The system equilibrium constraint is:

[0083]

[0084] Where, p l,t Let L be the load demand of node l at time t, and L be the total number of nodes. pi,t Δp represents the output of unit i at time t; l,t The load reduction at node l at time t; Tie o,t This is the initial tie line quantity; t Regarding the use of purchased electricity, it should be noted that this invention incorporates load reduction and purchased electricity into the traditional balance constraints.

[0085] The unit balance margin optimization model is constructed as follows:

[0086]

[0087] in, pi,py,t Let be the positive backup variable for time period t. pi,ny,t Let be the reverse balance margin at time t. pi,max This represents the maximum output of unit i; pnr,t Let be the positive backup variable for time period t. pny,t The negative balance margin at time t. pi,min This represents the minimum output of unit i. In other words, the unit's current output + reserved positive reserve + positive balance margin = the unit's maximum generating capacity. ppy,t This represents the total positive balance margin of the power system at time t. pny,t This represents the total reverse balance margin of the power system at time t.

[0088] The unit's operating constraints are:

[0089]

[0090] Where, p i,min p i,max p represents the minimum and maximum output of unit i; i,up p represents the maximum lift output of unit i. i,down S represents the maximum output power of unit i; N,i This represents the maximum number of times unit i can be started within the optimization period. B i,off B represents the minimum downtime period of unit i. i,on This indicates the minimum operating time of unit i; This represents the cumulative downtime up to time period t. This represents the cumulative number of times the system has been running up to time period t.

[0091] The power grid transmission capacity constraint is:

[0092]

[0093] Among them, P i n P represents the injected power at node i, which is directly related to the unit's output. l i,j V represents the active power of branch l, with its two endpoints at nodes i and j; i V j G represents the voltage magnitudes at nodes i and j; i,j B i,j θ i,j P represents the conductance, susceptance, and phase angle difference between node i and node j; l,max Indicates the thermal stability limit of branch l; M E and M E,max This represents the active power and stability limit of transmission section E, where l∈E indicates that branch l is a component of section E, and γ l,E This indicates the relationship between the positive direction definition of section E and the positive direction definition of branch flow.

[0094] For the AC power flow in the above equation, in a power transmission network, since the node voltage is basically near the rated voltage and the branch resistance is much smaller than the branch reactance, linearization can be achieved by neglecting the line resistance and node voltage drop, i.e.:

[0095]

[0096] Where θ is the node phase angle column vector; Z is the node impedance matrix, which can be obtained by inverting the node susceptance matrix; and p is the node injected power column vector.

[0097] Example 2

[0098] Typically, considering the error in new energy forecasting, in supply guarantee scenarios, new energy is generally included in the balance according to a percentage of the forecast value. For example, if the forecast value of new energy is 100MW, and it is included in the balance at 70%, then the output of new energy is considered to be 70MW in the balance calculation. The reason for this treatment is that the forecast value of 100MW of new energy for the task is unreliable.

[0099] When a positive balance margin is introduced, the same effect can be achieved by reserving a balance margin. Furthermore, the balance margin can be reserved in different levels, thus achieving better and more economical results.

[0100]

[0101] Where f(·) represents the penalty cost of the system at time t, which is included in the objective function (1); P py,t The values ​​reserved for the positive balance margin of the system are the variables to be optimized; P1 to P m To reserve tiered values ​​for balance margin, these are known setpoints. The penalty amount for each level is set at five demand margins: 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500. The penalty coefficient for each level is 10000, 1000, 100, 10, and 0, respectively, i.e., P1 = 100, P5 = 500. At this point, if the balance margin is greater than 500, no penalty will be incurred; if the positive balance margin is less than 100, a large penalty with a penalty coefficient of 10,000 will be incurred. This segmentation can be combined with the segmentation of new energy prediction errors to achieve refined management of new energy inclusion in the balance.

[0102] It should be noted that this invention incorporates the cost of purchased electricity into the traditional optimization objective, as shown in equation (4). In the optimization calculation, it is required that the total positive balance margin of the system is greater than 0 at any time. If the value of purchased electricity is still greater than 0 in the optimization result, it means that the positive balance margin does not meet the supply guarantee requirements and electricity must be purchased from outside.

[0103] In addition, the balance margin of each unit is shown in equation (6). The sum of all units yields the balance margin of the power system. However, when considering network power flow constraints, the balance margin of the units is subject to power flow constraints. The unit output cannot always reach the upper limit of the output. That is, when considering power flow constraints, the actual upper limit of the unit output will be less than or equal to p in equation (6). i,max How to calculate the actual value? pi,max This is another key point of the present invention.

[0104] When calculating the balance margin, since the load and unit output will further increase, the power flow calculation formulas based on the current output in equations (8) and (9) cannot be used to consider power flow constraints in the balance margin, and need to be adjusted as follows:

[0105]

[0106] Where, ΔP i,t Let ΔP be the additional power generated by unit i at time t. load,j,t Let L be the load increase at node j at time t. The load increase should equal the increase in unit output; l,t β represents the power flow of branch l at time t. l,i,t β represents the active power sensitivity of unit i to branch l. l,j,t The active power sensitivity of load j to branch l should be equal to the power flow calculation results after the unit and load increase.

[0107] By incorporating equation (10) into the optimization model, the accurate balance margin considering power flow constraints can be calculated.

[0108] Example 3

It uses the operating status and output of each unit in the power system at different times as variables and the goal of minimizing the total cost of the power system to build a balance margin optimization model for the power system.

[0111] The solution module is used to solve the balance margin optimization model of the power system and obtain the balance margin of the power system.

[0112] A further improvement of the power system balance margin estimation system described in this invention lies in:
