Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power system dispatching and control, and particularly to a method for evaluating the multi-scale flexibility margin of a power system based on multi-agent simulation. Background Art
[0002] In the process of building a new power system, the high-proportion grid connection of renewable energy represented by wind power and photovoltaic power increases the randomness of power supply. At the same time, large-scale electric energy substitution makes the power load structure more diversified, and the peak load change will be more complex, causing a huge impact on power balance and safe and stable operation. Accurately depicting the overall adequacy of the power system plays an important role in the development planning and layout of new energy and promoting the transformation of the power system. Therefore, how to evaluate the multi-scale flexibility margin of the power system has become an urgent problem to be solved.
[0003] Currently, the flexibility margin evaluation indexes can be divided into two categories: probabilistic and deterministic. Probabilistic evaluation indexes include the expected value of insufficient ramping resources, the probability and expected value of insufficient upward flexibility, the probability and expected value of insufficient downward flexibility, the probability and its expected value when flexibility is insufficient, the expected value and probability of the margin when flexibility is sufficient, etc. Deterministic indexes include the system flexibility interval index based on the random interval analysis method, etc. However, with the continuous advancement of the construction of the new power system, the grid connection of new energy has become the main factor affecting the flexibility margin of the power system, and its consideration is lacking in the existing research.
[0004] Regarding the evaluation method of the flexibility margin of the power system, some studies conduct flexibility assessment on different types of flexibility resources or demands by formulating a scoring mechanism; however, it does not consider the uncertainties existing in the supply side and demand side of the power system and is only applicable to the rough assessment of the flexibility adequacy in the initial stage of planning. On the basis of the above research, some scholars measure whether the system flexibility is sufficient by comparing whether the deterministic flexibility resources can match the uncertain net load demand. However, the flexibility of the power system has the characteristics of directionality, state dependence, multi-time scale, and probability. The flexibility resources of the power system can participate in the power regulation of multiple time scales to maintain the real-time power balance between power generation and consumption. This makes it a key problem to be solved urgently to study the flexibility margin of the new power system under multiple time scales and construct a new evaluation method for the flexibility margin of the new power system.
