Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy system processing technology, specifically relating to a method and apparatus for optimizing photovoltaic-storage processing in a hydrometallurgical plant. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of a hydrometallurgical plant involves multiple complex stages, including ore grinding, dissolution, leaching, solution purification, and metal electrowinning. The plant's load includes equipment such as ball mills, semi-autogenous mills, drainage pumps, electrolysis units, air conditioning, and lighting. The start-up and shutdown of equipment such as ball mills and semi-autogenous mills significantly impact the continuity of hydrometallurgical plant production, thus requiring extremely high power supply reliability. Equipment such as electrolysis units, drainage pumps, air conditioning, and lighting are allowed to operate at limited power or be temporarily disconnected for a period of time. Since the load of the electrolysis unit accounts for a significant portion of the hydrometallurgical plant's load, it possesses considerable demand response flexibility and adjustment potential.

[0003] Currently, to ensure the reliability of power supply in hydrometallurgical plants, installing diesel generators or other backup power sources on-site is a common solution. Once started, these generators provide a stable and continuous power supply to the hydrometallurgical plant. Some hydrometallurgical plants also install photovoltaic (PV) power generation equipment on-site, using solar energy as a supplementary power source for daily production to reduce reliance on the power grid. Considering the weather sensitivity and diurnal variations of PV power generation, combining PV power generation systems with energy storage battery systems can smooth out power fluctuations and provide a more stable power output. When determining the capacity of PV and energy storage, the difference between PV power generation at different times and the plant's electricity demand can be used to calculate the PV-storage system capacity with the goal of meeting peak load demand. Existing technologies also often use mathematical models and algorithms such as linear programming or dynamic programming, combined with the hydrometallurgical plant's operation and scheduling scheme, to incorporate factors such as the capacity of the PV-storage system, initial investment, operating costs, and electricity savings into the calculations, optimizing the PV-storage system capacity with the objective function of minimizing total cost.

[0004] However, some regional power grids suffer from problems such as unreasonable power generation structure, aging and disrepaired systems, weak network architecture, and imperfect power generation and load dispatch mechanisms. Power supply is often constrained by external environment, load fluctuations, and grid faults, leading to frequent power outages or curtailments. Existing technologies have significant shortcomings in improving the reliability of power supply to hydrometallurgical plants. This poor power supply reliability directly affects the normal production process of hydrometallurgical plants, making it difficult to guarantee the continuous power supply needs of critical loads such as ball mills and semi-autogenous mills, resulting in production interruptions, increased equipment wear, and even potential safety hazards. Although diesel generators can provide supplemental power to hydrometallurgical plants, their start-up, shutdown, and power regulation are limited by internal thermal processes, and their response speed cannot meet the high reliability requirements of hydrometallurgical plants in areas with frequent power outages. Furthermore, diesel generators suffer from high generation costs, large carbon emissions, and severe pollution. Existing photovoltaic-storage systems are mostly used for peak shaving and energy conservation, lacking reliability optimization designs for continuous production, grid connection, and asynchronous motor starting requirements in hydrometallurgical plants. When determining the capacity configuration scheme of photovoltaic-storage systems, existing technologies do not meet the needs of hydrometallurgical plants for supplementing the mains power shortage and ensuring continuous power supply during power outages. Furthermore, existing photovoltaic-storage system configuration methods do not consider the demand response and flexible adjustment capabilities of equipment such as electrolysis units in hydrometallurgical plants, resulting in additional cost investments. Therefore, a more efficient and stable optimized photovoltaic-storage solution for hydrometallurgical plants is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

Simultaneously, the hydrometallurgical plant's load exhibits peak-valley fluctuations, and the grid power rationing values ​​show statistically significant time-of-day differences. To specifically supplement the grid power supply gap, this embodiment establishes a time-of-day power compensation principle for the photovoltaic-storage system. In the configuration model, target output limits for the photovoltaic-storage system at different times are added as constraints. The constraint formula for the target output limits of the photovoltaic-storage system at different times in the optimized configuration model of the hydrometallurgical plant's photovoltaic-storage system is as follows:

Furthermore, if resources permit, external mature commercial solvers can also be used to solve this problem.

The load within the hydrometallurgical plant mainly includes a 2.2MW ball mill, a 2MW semi-autogenous mill, a 10MW electrolytic cell, and other auxiliary equipment. A typical illumination curve for the region where the hydrometallurgical plant is located is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0115] Based on historical power outage and curtailment data from the local power system, the hydrometallurgical plant operator requires that, in the event of a random power outage in the main grid, the hydrometallurgical plant can operate at rated load for 5 hours without relying on diesel generators. The initial state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage is set at 0.5, with upper and lower SOC limits set at 0.9 and 0.1 respectively, and the charge / discharge efficiency set at 0.95. The investment costs per unit power of photovoltaic (PV), per unit power of energy storage, and per unit energy of energy storage are taken as US$171,000 / MW, US$114,000 / MW, and US$214,000 / MWh, respectively. The discount rate is taken as 0.05, and the lifespan of the PV-energy storage system is taken as 13 years.

The constraints of the optimal configuration model for the photovoltaic and energy storage system in the hydrometallurgical plant include the configuration capacity of photovoltaic and energy storage, the operational constraints of the photovoltaic power generation device, the operational constraints of the energy storage within the hydrometallurgical plant, the output target limit constraints of the photovoltaic and energy storage system at different times, and the supply and demand balance constraints during the operation of the hydrometallurgical plant. An objective function for the optimal configuration model of the photovoltaic and energy storage system in the hydrometallurgical plant is constructed, which is the equivalent annual cost over the entire life cycle of the photovoltaic and energy storage configuration. Based on the constraints and objective function of the optimal configuration model, the optimal configuration model of the photovoltaic and energy storage system in the hydrometallurgical plant is solved to obtain the optimal configuration scheme for photovoltaic and energy storage in the hydrometallurgical plant. This invention, based on historical power outage and curtailment data of the local power system for hydrometallurgical plants, proposes a time-of-use power compensation principle for photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage (ESS) systems. It adds target output limits for the PV and ESS systems at different times as constraints in the configuration model to specifically supplement the power supply gap in the mains. Furthermore, this invention establishes a pre-reserve mechanism for PV and ESS systems in response to frequent power outages. Combining typical solar characteristics with the continuous power supply target and duration requirements of the hydrometallurgical plant during outages, it sets energy storage constraints for each time period in the configuration model, thereby fully utilizing energy storage performance and ensuring the reliability of power supply to the hydrometallurgical plant. Finally, this invention adopts a flexible control method for some loads in the hydrometallurgical plant. It sets energy storage power limits based on the asynchronous motor starting requirements and flexible load adjustment capabilities within the plant, and sets the continuous power supply target value of the PV and ESS systems after a power outage based on the plant's load operation reliability requirements. This ensures the reliability of power supply to the hydrometallurgical plant while improving the economic efficiency of PV and ESS system configuration. This invention can meet the needs of hydrometallurgical plants for supplementing the mains power shortage and ensuring continuous power supply in the event of a power outage. The combination of photovoltaic and energy storage configuration with the demand response and flexible adjustment capabilities of equipment such as electrolysis units in hydrometallurgical plants can avoid additional cost investment. It can effectively improve the power supply reliability of hydrometallurgical plants, ensure the continuity and safety of production, and at the same time take into account the economics of photovoltaic and energy storage system configuration, thus ensuring the economic benefits of hydrometallurgical plants.
