Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power systems, and in particular to a method and system for coordinated variable load control of thermal power units based on unit energy storage. Background Art
[0002] In modern power systems, thermal power units are still an important means of load regulation. However, with the large-scale access of renewable energy, the volatility of grid load has increased, which has put forward higher requirements for the flexibility and rapid regulation capabilities of thermal power units. Traditional load regulation methods for thermal power units usually rely on combustion control, regulating valve opening, and unit start-stop strategies, but these methods have problems such as response lag, low regulation accuracy, and increased coal consumption. In addition, when thermal power units are operated at low load, coal consumption increases due to decreased efficiency. At the same time, frequent load changes may aggravate equipment losses and affect the economy and safety of the unit. Therefore, how to improve the flexibility and energy efficiency of load regulation while ensuring stable unit operation has become a key issue in current research.
[0003] In recent years, the development of energy storage technology has provided new ideas for improving the regulation performance of thermal power units. For example, through the energy storage function of boilers, steam drums, water supply systems, etc., part of the energy can be released or absorbed in a short time, thereby alleviating the direct impact of load fluctuations on the unit. However, the existing energy storage utilization methods often lack a systematic coordinated control strategy, and it is difficult to give full play to the energy storage potential of thermal power units. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new control method that combines the energy storage characteristics of the unit and optimizes the load regulation strategy to improve the operating flexibility and economy of the thermal power unit while reducing equipment losses. Therefore, the present invention proposes a coordinated variable load control method and system for thermal power units based on unit energy storage. Summary of the invention

[0111] Step S103, using a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve a load distribution scheme that satisfies the coordinated optimization of coal consumption, equipment loss and tracking accuracy, and executing load distribution through a hierarchical control architecture;
[0112] The method of using a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve a load distribution scheme that satisfies the coordinated optimization of coal consumption, equipment loss and tracking accuracy, and executing load distribution through a hierarchical control architecture includes:
[0113] 1) Establish a multi-objective optimization model that includes coal consumption economy, equipment loss rate and load tracking accuracy, and define the unit dynamic characteristic constraints and energy storage safety boundaries;
[0114] Specifically, the objective function is defined as follows:
[0115] Coal consumption economy: establish coal consumption-load characteristic curve;

[0125] 2) Using a multi-objective optimization algorithm, integrating real-time operation data and equipment health status, and generating a set of non-inferior solutions that meet the constraints through iterative calculation, specifically including:
[0126] Real-time data fusion and preprocessing: The real-time operating parameters of the unit are obtained through the data acquisition system, including key indicators such as current load, main steam pressure, metal temperature, etc., and the vibration, wear and other status data of the equipment health monitoring system are read simultaneously. The data is standardized, outliers are removed, and missing data is supplemented to form an input matrix with multi-dimensional characteristics of economy, safety, and responsiveness, providing a high-quality data foundation for optimization calculations;
[0127] Initialization configuration of optimization algorithm: select target weight strategy according to the current grid dispatch mode, increase tracking accuracy weight in frequency regulation mode, and increase coal consumption optimization weight in economic mode. Initialize improved NSGA-III algorithm parameters, set population size to 50-100 groups of candidate solutions, define evolution parameters such as crossover probability and mutation probability, and load unit dynamic characteristic constraint library and safe operation boundary database;
[0128] Dynamic constraint iterative calculation: During the algorithm iteration process, the compliance of each candidate solution with constraints such as unit ramp rate, energy storage boundary, and metal thermal stress is verified in real time. Dynamic relaxation technology is used to moderately relax critical constraints and retain infeasible solutions with improvement potential. After each generation of population evolution, the influencing factors of the equipment health status on the constraint boundary are updated to ensure that the optimization direction matches the actual operating conditions;
[0129] Generation and screening of non-inferior solution sets: The population is divided into different frontier levels through fast non-dominated sorting, and high-level solution sets are retained first. The reference point guidance strategy is used to evenly distribute the solution sets in the target space to ensure diversity. Adaptive perturbation mutation is performed on repeated solutions, and the final output is a Pareto frontier containing 20-30 sets of non-inferior solutions, covering feasible solutions with different target trade-offs;

[0132] Intelligent identification of dispatching modes: Real-time analysis of the characteristics of power grid dispatching instructions, automatic determination of the current operating mode through parameters such as AGC instruction change rate, load demand stability, and equipment health warning signals: Activate frequency modulation mode when the AGC instruction changes by more than 1% of rated power per minute; Switch to economic mode when the load demand fluctuates by less than 0.5% for 30 minutes; Enable safety mode when the health score of key equipment is detected to be below the threshold, and form a mode priority list;
[0133] Dynamic calculation of target membership: According to the identified operation mode, adjust the weight coefficient of each target in the decision-making: the tracking accuracy weight is increased to 60% in frequency modulation mode, the coal consumption optimization weight is 55% in economic mode, and the equipment loss weight is set to 50% in safety mode. Construct a triangular membership function to map the coal consumption value, loss rate, and tracking error of each candidate solution to the [0,1] interval, and quantify the degree to which the solution meets each target;
[0134] Synthesis of comprehensive decision-making indicators: The weighted average method is used to integrate the multi-objective membership. The frequency modulation mode is synthesized with a weight of 0.6 (accuracy), 0.3 (loss), and 0.1 (coal consumption). The economic mode uses a weight configuration of 0.1 (accuracy), 0.4 (loss), and 0.5 (coal consumption). The top 10% of the candidate solutions are rechecked to eliminate the solutions with excessive energy storage release rate or abnormal valve action frequency;
[0135] Verification and correction of the optimal solution: Input the preliminary solution into the unit dynamic simulation model to predict the change trend of key parameters such as main steam pressure and metal temperature in the next 5 minutes. If the risk of parameter exceeding the limit is predicted, the load change amplitude of the corresponding unit in the solution is automatically reduced, and the target membership is recalculated. The safety of the solution in the dynamic process is ensured through three iterations of verification;
[0136] Load instruction generation and confirmation: Convert the verified scheme into specific load instructions for each unit, with the instruction value accurate to 0.1MW. Highlight the key monitoring units and their control parameters on the DCS screen, and generate a decision report containing expected coal consumption, estimated losses, and risk warnings. After confirmation by the operator, the instruction is automatically sent to the unit coordination control system, and the execution process tracking module is started at the same time;
[0137] 4) Decompose the optimized load instructions of each thermal power unit into feedforward coarse adjustment instructions and dynamic compensation. Through the instruction decomposition layer, dynamic compensation layer, safety constraint layer and execution feedback layer, complete the hierarchical control architecture to execute load distribution, including:
[0138] Instruction decomposition layer processing: Receive the total load instruction issued by the optimization system, and make initial allocation according to the unit's real-time regulation capability index (RACI). RACI is calculated by the unit's current energy storage level, health status score, and historical regulation accuracy. High RACI units receive more load change quotas. Generate a feedforward coarse adjustment instruction containing the benchmark load value and the allowable fluctuation range, and transmit it to the coordinated control system of each unit;
[0139] Dynamic compensation layer adjustment: real-time monitoring of the deviation between the main steam pressure, feed water flow and the target value of key parameters, and calculation of the rapid release demand of energy storage. Dynamic compensation is increased for units with negative pressure deviation, and the compensation amplitude is proportional to the deviation size and energy storage availability. The lag-advance filtering algorithm is used to process compensation instructions to eliminate the impact of high-frequency fluctuations on the actuator and ensure a smooth adjustment process;
[0140] Safety constraint layer verification: multi-level safety verification is performed before the command is executed: the first level verification compares the current metal temperature with the allowable change rate; the second level verification evaluates whether the vibration spectrum characteristics are abnormal; the third level verification predicts whether the energy storage state exceeds the limit in the next 3 minutes. If any of the verifications fails, the load command is dynamically downgraded, the load change of the problem unit is reduced according to the preset rules, and the standby unit is started for compensation;
[0141] Execute feedback layer closed loop: collect actual action feedback of each actuator (turbine throttle, feed water pump, etc.) and calculate command tracking error. Start adaptive correction for units that continuously exceed tolerance: fine-tune the compensation coefficient when the error is less than 2%; recalculate the RACI value when the error is 2%-5%; trigger control mode switching when the error exceeds 5%. Synchronously update optimization model parameters to form a closed-loop learning mechanism;
[0142] Full-process status monitoring: During the execution of load distribution, the three-dimensional visualization interface displays the status of each level in real time: instruction decomposition ratio, compensation distribution, safety verification results, and execution error statistics. Abnormal status automatically pops up a multi-dimensional diagnostic view, providing advanced functions such as historical trend comparison, related parameter analysis, and disposal suggestion generation to support operators in making quick decisions.
