Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of virtual power plants, and particularly relates to a method for analyzing the regulation potential of virtual power plants in the spot market mode. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous promotion of the development of new energy, the scale of new energy is constantly expanding. On the one hand, the problem of power supply-demand balance and new energy consumption is prominent, and the regulation capacity and potential of conventional energy have been deeply explored under the large fluctuations of new energy. Especially in the face of long-term scenarios of continuous windless and sunlightless new energy or long-term scenarios of continuous strong wind of new energy, virtual power plants aggregate various types of regulation resources such as controllable industrial loads, distributed photovoltaics and energy storage, electric vehicles, and commercial buildings. Deeply tapping the potential of virtual power plants has become an important means for power supply guarantee and new energy consumption. On the other hand, the response costs of various types of regulation resources involved in virtual power plants in the spot market mode are different, and the regulation response time, regulation capacity, duration, regulation rate, regulation accuracy, etc. are complex and variable. It is necessary to conduct clustering of typical classified regulation resources and typical spot market scenarios, and conduct precise analysis in the spot market mode. Therefore, the analysis of the adjustable potential of virtual power plant users in a high-proportion new energy system under the clustering of typical market scenarios in the precise spot market mode is the basis for the operation of virtual power plants.

[0003] At present, scholars at home and abroad have carried out a large number of studies on the evaluation and analysis of the conventional regulation capabilities of virtual power plants. However, there is still a blank in the analysis of the regulation capabilities of virtual power plants under the complex spot market mode of high-proportion new energy systems. In the evaluation and analysis of the conventional regulation capabilities of virtual power plants, most methods are based on model-data joint driving, clustering estimation, and multi-model dynamic combination. On the one hand, clustering division based on label characteristics is carried out to find similar operation curves. On the other hand, based on the combined analysis of multi-modal monitoring data, the perceiving and prediction of the adjustable potential of distributed resources are realized. For example, for the prediction of the adjustable capabilities of charging and swapping stations, multi-dimensional data such as the flow of people, the heat map of electric vehicles, the historical load data of charging and swapping stations, and the working days and holiday periods need to be comprehensively analyzed. The comprehensive clustering method is used to study the load characteristics and adjustable potential of users, and for the adjustable load to participate in power grid dispatching, 5G technology integration, the use of an improved ant-lion hybrid optimization system model and regulation capability prediction, etc. However, the types of flexible resources on the user side accessed by virtual power plants are diverse, the individual capacity is small, the locations are scattered, it is difficult to collect resource equipment information and real-time monitoring data, the resource characteristics are different, there are differences in time response characteristics, and it is difficult to build an aggregation model for resources; the description system of the regulation cost model of virtual power plants and the economic benefit model are incomplete, there are large differences in regulation resources under different typical spot market modes, and there are problems that cannot be accurately analyzed and responded to. The users of virtual power plants are complex and changeable: changes in external factors such as the market environment, economic situation, policies and regulations, and the production and operation conditions of users themselves may all affect the willingness and behavior of users, resulting in difficulties in the prediction, planning, and management and control of virtual power plants. The virtual power plant market is complex and changeable: the competition is fierce, the response modes are diverse, it is difficult to calculate the regulation control cost, resulting in difficulties in price prediction and great difficulties in making trading quotation decisions for virtual power plants.

[0004] Existing research shows that by analyzing the output characteristics of high-proportion new energy, the accuracy of the analysis and evaluation of the regulation capabilities of virtual power plants under the spot market mode can be improved, and the virtual power plants can effectively participate in the actual declaration of the spot market and the adjustment of regulation responses. However, the existing research still has the following deficiencies: (1) There are relatively few studies on how to classify the regulation resource responses of virtual power plant user sides such as different typical industrial loads, distributed new energy and energy storage, and commercial buildings; (2) There is a lack of a method for analyzing the reliable response capabilities of the regulation resources of virtual power plants under complex spot market modes; (3) There is no targeted research on quantitatively describing the analysis of typical classified regulation resources of virtual power plants by using the aggregation characteristics and typical scenarios of new energy output, spot prices, and peak-valley price differences. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above technical problems in the existing evaluation of the regulation capabilities of virtual power plant users lacking adaptability to multiple scenarios of spot market operation, the present invention provides a method for analyzing the regulation potential of virtual power plants under the spot market mode.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for analyzing the regulation potential of a virtual power plant in a spot market mode, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. For two typical demands of new energy consumption and power supply guarantee, establish three load regulation parameter classification models of translatable, transferable, and interruptible for virtual power plant users to participate in response;

[0009] S2. Considering the operation constraints of different types of regulation resources such as industrial loads, distributed energy storage, distributed photovoltaics, and industrial and commercial buildings accessed by the virtual power plant, based on the load regulation parameter classification model formed in S1, establish a typical database of the external characteristics of different types of regulation resources classified and clustered;

[0010] S3. Based on different types of regulation resources and the typical database formed in S2, calculate the typical classification marginal cost of the response of different regulation resources of virtual power plant users after clustering;

[0011] S4. For four typical combined scenarios of wind, light, large, and small, based on the improved K-means clustering method, conduct clustering analysis on the spot market price and the price difference interval of the classification model of a high-proportion new energy system;

[0012] S5. Based on the long-term prediction of the spot market price and the typical classification marginal cost, establish an analysis model for the adjustable potential of virtual power plant users in a typical scenario of the long-term spot market mode.

[0013] The method for establishing the translatable load regulation parameter classification model for virtual power plant users to participate in response in S1 is as follows:

[0014] For virtual power plant users, the requirements for steel and glass as translatable loads are that the time is uninterrupted and the power size remains unchanged at each moment before and after translation; for a certain translatable load , its power distribution vector is: (1)

[0015] Wherein, is the start time, is the continuous time period; use the 0-1 variable to represent the start state of the time period, that is, represents starting to translate from the time period; The start time period set is: ; represents that the load is not translated; and , indicating that the load is shifted to starting from and is the continuous distribution duration of the space with large output of new energy or low spot price; and the power distribution vector corresponding to is: : (2)

[0016] When , , the corresponding power distribution vector is meaningless, and all of them are set to 0, that is:

[0017] (3)

[0018] Based on the power distribution vector, the shiftable load is modeled, ;

[0019] There are only two situations for the shiftable load after participating in the response in the virtual power plant: a) not shifted; b) shifted to the time period of large output of new energy or low spot price interval, and the constraints are as follows:

[0020] (4).

[0021] The method for establishing the classification model of adjustable parameters of transferable load for virtual power plant users to participate in the response in S1 is:

[0022] For the building users of the virtual power plant, their power can be transferred, but the time requirement is not an uninterrupted requirement. It can be adjusted within a certain time period and the total power remains unchanged. The transferable load power distribution vector is: (5)

At the moment The transferred load power is between the maximum and minimum transferred powers; to avoid the load being transferred to multiple discontinuous time periods, that is, the frequent start and stop of the switches and power levels of air conditioners, refrigeration and heating electrical equipment, it is necessary to constrain the minimum continuous operation time of the transferred load, that is:

[0026] (7)

[0028] The method for establishing the interruptible load regulation parameter classification model for virtual power plant users to participate in response in S1 is as follows:

[0029] For the load that can be curtailed in non - continuous production enterprises such as steel and cement , as the participation response of virtual power plant users, it reduces the electricity consumption of users; use the 0 - 1 variable to represent the curtailment status of the load that can be curtailed or interrupted in time period , that is means is curtailed in time period , means is not curtailed, and the load model is:

[0030] (8)

[0031] Considering user satisfaction, it is necessary to constrain the minimum and maximum continuous curtailment times and the number of curtailments, that is:

[0032] (9)

[0033] Among them, is the curtailment coefficient of the load that can be curtailed at node at time is the minimum continuous curtailment time; is the maximum continuous curtailment time; is the maximum number of curtailments.

[0081] A method for analyzing the regulation potential of a virtual power plant in a spot market mode, as Figure 1 shown, includes the following steps:

[0082] Step 1: For two typical demands of consuming new energy and ensuring power supply, establish a classification model of three load regulation parameters, namely translatable, transferable, and interruptible, for virtual power plant users to participate in response.

[0083] 1. Translatable load type:

[0084] For some virtual power plant users, such as steel and glass, the requirement for translatable loads is that the time is uninterrupted and the power magnitude remains unchanged at each moment before and after translation. For a certain translatable load , its power distribution vector is:

[0085] (1)

[0086] In the formula, is the start time, is the duration. Use a 0-1 variable to represent the start state of the period, that is, represents starting to translate from the period. The start period set is: represents that the load is not translated. And , represents that the load is translated to start from , is the continuous distribution duration of the space where new energy is in large generation or the spot price is low.

To avoid the load being transferred to multiple discontinuous periods, that is, the frequent start and stop of the switches and power sizes of air conditioners, refrigeration, heating and other electrical equipment, it is necessary to constrain the minimum continuous operation time of the transferred load, that is: (7)

[0114] 3) Charging / discharging constraint of energy storage:

[0115] During operation, the battery energy storage should control the charging / discharging power each time not to exceed its rated value, and the total discharging power does not exceed the rated capacity of the energy storage:
