[0061] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0062] Embodiment:
[0063] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for regulating high-energy-consuming load resources based on a virtual power plant, including:
[0064] Step 1. By constructing a dynamic scheduling model of high-energy-consuming load resources in a virtual power plant, the operation behaviors of each load resource in the virtual power plant are described, and the relationship between state variables and control inputs during the load regulation process is established through corresponding dynamic equations. The dynamic scheduling model of high-energy-consuming load resources enables the real-time state and control parameters of load regulation to be described when modeling the operation process of each load resource.
[0065] Step 2. Define the scheduling optimization objective and set the constraint conditions according to the load resource scheduling data obtained from the dynamic scheduling model of high-energy-consuming load resources.
[0066] Step 3: Set constraints based on the scheduling optimization goal, and use a control algorithm to optimize the scheduling of load resources. The control algorithm adjusts the power output of load resources to minimize the scheduling cost of the virtual power plant. The control algorithm considers the switch states of load devices and optimizes the start-stop operations of load resources through mixed-integer programming.
[0067] Step 4: Analyze the defined scheduling model using variational methods and optimal control theory to obtain the optimal scheduling strategy. By solving the optimization equations, obtain the power output and switch states of each load resource at different time steps, providing an operation plan for the virtual power plant scheduling.
[0068] Step 5: Conduct a stability analysis of the obtained scheduling scheme, and analyze the stability of the scheduling system using Lyapunov stability theory.
[0069] Step 6: Combine parallel computing technology to accelerate the optimization process. Through a real-time data acquisition system, dynamically adjust the power output of each high-energy-consuming load resource in the virtual power plant according to the load fluctuation of the power grid to achieve efficient load regulation.
[0070] Benefits of Step 1: By constructing a dynamic scheduling model, this step enables the virtual power plant to describe the operating behaviors and regulation characteristics of each high-energy-consuming load resource. Use dynamic equations to establish the relationship between state variables and control inputs during the load regulation process to ensure real-time scheduling and precise control in a complex power grid environment, improving the reliability and accuracy of scheduling. This step provides a modeling basis for subsequent scheduling optimization and can flexibly respond to various load regulation requirements.
[0071] Benefits of Step 2: By defining the scheduling optimization goal and setting constraints based on the scheduling data obtained from the model, ensure that the scheduling goal matches the actual demand, avoiding over-regulation and situations where the power grid demand cannot be met. This step ensures that the load resource regulation can be carried out within a reasonable power range and at the same time meets the power balance requirements of the power grid, providing guarantee for the stable operation of the power grid.
[0072] Benefits of Step 3: The introduction of the control algorithm minimizes the scheduling cost of the virtual power plant by adjusting the power output of load resources, while meeting the load demand and stability requirements of the power grid. The mixed-integer programming algorithm is used to optimize the start-stop operations of load resources, avoiding frequent start-stop of equipment, reducing operating costs, and improving the usage efficiency of equipment. The implementation of this step can maximize economic benefits while reducing unnecessary energy consumption and equipment losses.
[0073] Benefits of Step 4: The variational method and optimal control theory can conduct in-depth analysis of the scheduling model to find the optimal scheduling strategy that stabilizes the power grid and meets the load demand. By solving the optimization equation, the optimal power output and switching state of each load resource at different time points are obtained, ensuring the optimality of the scheduling result. It provides a basis for scheduling decisions for the virtual power plant and optimizes the resource allocation of the system.
[0074] Benefits of Step 5: Through the stability analysis of the scheduling scheme, the Lyapunov stability theory is used to ensure that the system can operate stably during load regulation, avoiding excessive fluctuations and unstable power grid frequency during the load regulation process. This step provides theoretical support for the system to ensure the safety and stability of the regulation process of high-energy-consuming load resources and guarantee the long-term stable operation of the power grid.
[0075] Benefits of Step 6: Combining parallel computing technology, this step significantly improves the computational efficiency of the scheduling optimization process, enabling the virtual power plant to respond quickly to power grid load fluctuations. The real-time data acquisition system ensures the dynamic monitoring of the power grid load fluctuation situation and precisely regulates each high-energy-consuming load resource in the virtual power plant. It improves the system response speed and can ensure the load balance and stability of the power grid.
[0076] In Step 2, the scheduling optimization objective of the load resource is expressed as:
[0077]
[0078] where N is the total number of high-energy-consuming load resources in the virtual power plant,
[0079] T is the number of time periods considered in the scheduling process,
[0080] C i (P i (t)) represents the scheduling cost of the i-th load resource at time t,
[0081] P i (t) represents the power output of the i-th load resource at time y,
[0082] λ i is the penalty factor, and μ i is the cost of starting and stopping the i-th load resource,
[0083] |P i (t)-P i (t - 1)| represents the absolute value of the change in the power output of the i-th load resource between time t and t - 1,
[0084] z i (t) is the switching state of the i-th load resource at time t.
[0085] The constraint conditions for dispatch optimization include:
[0086] Grid power balance constraint:
[0087] Among them, P i (t) represents the power output of the i-th load resource at time t, N is the total number of high-energy-consuming load resources in the virtual power plant, and P grid (t) is the power demand of the power grid at time t, represents for time point t;
[0088] Load regulation capacity constraint:
[0089] Among them, P min.i and P max.i are the minimum and maximum power outputs of the i-th load resource, and P i (t) represents the power output of the i-th load resource at time t, for all load resources i and time t.
[0090] By defining the dispatch optimization objective function, this step systematizes the dispatch costs and constraint conditions of all high-energy-consuming load resources in the virtual power plant, providing a mathematical basis for the subsequent dispatch algorithm. The objective function combines factors such as dispatch costs, load fluctuation degree, and start-stop operation costs, comprehensively considering economic benefits and system stability to ensure that the dispatch strategy can balance costs and grid demands.
[0091] By introducing a penalty factor, especially the absolute value penalty for load output changes, this step can effectively reduce the frequent fluctuations during the regulation process of load resources, avoiding the grid instability problems caused by frequent fluctuations in traditional dispatch methods. Ensure the frequency stability of the power grid and improve the regulation accuracy of load resources.
[0092] In this step, by introducing the start-stop operation costs of load resources, the start and stop of load equipment are reasonably arranged to reduce unnecessary start-stop operations. A reasonable start-stop arrangement improves the operating efficiency of the virtual power plant, reduces equipment losses caused by frequent start and stop, and extends the service life of the equipment, improving the economy of the virtual power plant.
[0093] While defining the dispatch objective, this step ensures the constraint conditions during the dispatch optimization process, such as grid power balance and load regulation capacity constraints. The grid power balance constraint ensures that the power output of load resources is consistent with the power grid load demand, avoiding problems of overloading and underloading; the load regulation capacity constraint ensures that the power output of each load resource is always within the adjustable range, avoiding adjustments that exceed the physical limits of the equipment, and ensuring the safety and feasibility of dispatch operations.
[0094] In step 3, the control algorithm uses the optimal control theory for scheduling optimization, and the optimal control equation is expressed as:
[0095]
[0096] where L is the Lagrangian function and B is the bias term,
[0097] P i (t) represents the power output of the i-th load resource at time t,
[0098] z i (t) represents the switching state of the i-th load resource at time t,
[0099] If z i (t) = 1, the load resource is turned on,
[0100] If z i (t) = 0, the load resource is turned off.
[0101] The scheduling algorithm uses mixed-integer programming to optimize the start-stop operations of load resources, and the constraint conditions for the start-stop operations are expressed as:
[0102]
[0103] where z i (t) represents the switching state of the i-th load resource at time t.
[0104] If z i (t) = 1, the load resource is turned on,
[0105] If z i (t) = 0, the load resource is turned off.
[0106] By adopting the optimal control theory and combining with the Lagrangian function to optimize the scheduling process, the power output of each load resource in the virtual power plant can be accurately adjusted. The optimal control equation can ensure the balance of the grid load while maximizing the economic benefits of the power system by optimizing the power output of each load resource. Compared with the traditional scheduling method, the optimal control algorithm can achieve accurate load regulation, improve the grid stability and reduce energy waste.
[0107] In this step, the start-stop operations of load resources are optimized by introducing the mixed-integer programming algorithm. The reasonable arrangement of the start-stop operations can reduce the frequent start-stop of load equipment, reduce the energy loss and wear during equipment startup, and extend the service life of the equipment. By optimizing the switching state, the operating cost of the virtual power plant can be reduced, and at the same time, the overall operating efficiency of the system can be improved, avoiding the resource waste caused by frequent start-stop in the traditional method.
[0108] Through the optimization of the switch state by the control algorithm, the reasonable adjustment of each load resource in different time periods can be achieved, avoiding the over-adjustment and non-adjustability of the load resources. Especially during peak load periods, reasonably adjusting the switch state of the load equipment can balance the load demand and the grid capacity, and improve the adjustment ability of the grid.
[0109] The regulation method for high-energy-consuming load resources includes using the variational method and the optimal control theory to analyze the defined scheduling model to obtain the optimal scheduling strategy. The optimal scheduling strategy is expressed by solving the optimization equation as follows:
[0110] P i (t) = f i (P previous (t), z i (t)),
[0111] where P previous (t) represents the power output of the previous time step, and z i (t) represents the switch state of the i-th load resource at time t, and f i (·) is the optimal scheduling strategy obtained according to the dynamic model of load regulation.
[0112] By applying the variational method and the optimal control theory, the optimal scheduling strategy for high-energy-consuming load resources in the virtual power plant can be accurately derived mathematically. This method ensures the grid load balance by minimizing the scheduling error and energy loss, while reducing the fluctuations and instabilities in the scheduling process. The optimal scheduling strategy can accurately calculate the power output and switch state of each load resource at different time steps, providing an efficient load regulation scheme for the grid.
[0113] By introducing the power output P previous (t) of the previous time step and the switch state z i (t) of the current time step, dynamic adjustment and real-time optimization are realized. The optimal scheduling strategy considers the state of the current load resources and synthesizes the past power output, making the load regulation process have good continuity and adaptability, and being able to respond to the grid load fluctuations in real time. The dynamic modeling and optimization enable the virtual power plant to efficiently handle complex and variable load demands.
[0114] By solving the optimal scheduling equation, it can be ensured that the power output and switch state of each load resource in the scheduling process meet the requirements of the grid, while avoiding excessive fluctuations of the load resources and frequent start-stop of the equipment. The regulation ability of the system is improved, the stable operation of the grid is ensured, and the problem of grid frequency instability caused by excessive fluctuations is reduced. In addition, the optimal scheduling strategy helps to improve the operation efficiency of the virtual power plant and reduce the scheduling cost.
[0115] In step 5, the scheduling scheme is analyzed through the Lyapunov stability theory to ensure that the system will not become unstable during the load regulation process. The Lyapunov function is defined as:
[0116]
[0117] where P ref.i is the target power output, P i (t) represents the power output of the i-th load resource at time t, and V(P 1 (t), …, P N (t)) represents the Lyapunov function, and N is the total number of high-energy-consuming load resources in the virtual power plant.
[0118] The present invention analyzes the scheduling scheme through the Lyapunov stability theory to ensure that the virtual power plant will not become unstable during load regulation. By defining the Lyapunov function, the stability of the power grid system can be analyzed and monitored in real time, avoiding the instability of the power grid due to excessive fluctuations and unreasonable regulation strategies. This method provides stability guarantee and provides digital support for the scheduling scheme during the load regulation process, thereby enhancing the reliability of the virtual power plant and the security of the power grid. Through this step, the system can maintain efficient and stable operation in the face of uncertainty and load fluctuations.
[0119] The high-energy-consuming load resource regulation method solves the optimal scheduling by combining the gradient descent method and dynamic programming to obtain the optimal scheduling strategy for each load resource. The optimal scheduling strategy is expressed as:
[0120]
[0121] where is the gradient of the Lagrangian function, and δP i (t) represents the adjustment of the power output of the load resource at each time step, for all load resources i and time t.
[0122] The present invention effectively solves the optimal scheduling problem of high-energy-consuming load resource regulation in the virtual power plant by combining the gradient descent method and dynamic programming. The gradient descent method adjusts the power output by optimizing the gradient of the objective function, and dynamic programming ensures the global optimal solution. The combination of the two can improve the efficiency of the scheduling process, enhance the scheduling accuracy and stability of the system, and at the same time, can quickly respond to the power grid load fluctuations to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the virtual power plant. It has significant advantages in the face of complex power grid load fluctuations and diverse demands, providing optimization support for the operation of the virtual power plant.
[0123] The high-energy-consuming load resource regulation method improves the calculation efficiency through parallel computing technology, performs parallel optimization on the scheduling of each load resource, and the calculation process of the parallel optimization is carried out through the following formula:
[0124]
[0125] Among them, is the total optimization goal, is the parallel calculation for the i-th load resource at time t, N is the total number of high-energy-consuming load resources in the virtual power plant, and P i (t) represents the power output of the i-th load resource at time t, represents for time point t.
[0126] By adopting parallel computing technology, the present invention effectively solves the problem of low calculation efficiency of the traditional load resource scheduling method when facing large-scale power grids and high-energy-consuming load regulation. The parallel optimization speeds up the scheduling process, shortens the scheduling time, and improves the resource allocation efficiency. Especially when dealing with power grid load fluctuations, it can achieve real-time response. By optimizing the scheduling of multiple load resources simultaneously, the system can quickly adapt to the changes in the power grid load, ensuring the load balance and stability of the power grid. This method provides an efficient and flexible scheduling scheme for the virtual power plant, significantly improving the operation efficiency and response speed of the system.
[0127] The high-energy-consuming load resource regulation method includes a real-time data acquisition and feedback control system. The real-time data acquisition and feedback control system monitors the power grid load fluctuations in real time and dynamically adjusts the power output of each high-energy-consuming load resource in the virtual power plant according to the real-time load data. The dynamic adjustment process is controlled through the following formula:
[0128] P i (t) = Adjust(P current (t), P target (t)),
[0129] Among them, P current (t) is the power output of the load resource i at the current moment, P target (t) is the target power output, Adjust(·) is a control function for adjusting the load output according to real-time data, and P i (t) represents the power output of the i-th load resource at time t.
[0130] By introducing a real-time data acquisition and feedback control system, the present invention can significantly improve the real-time response ability and regulation accuracy of the virtual power plant during the load regulation process. It monitors the power grid load fluctuations in real time and dynamically adjusts the power output of the load resources according to the real-time data to ensure the stable operation of the power grid and effectively avoid the problem of load imbalance. The feedback control mechanism enables flexible and precise load regulation, improves the operation efficiency and system stability of the virtual power plant, and provides support for the smooth operation of the power system.
