[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of low-carbon operation optimization of integrated energy systems, and particularly relates to a low-carbon scheduling method for integrated energy systems considering power-to-ammonia and demand response. Background Technique

[0002] With the substantial increase in the access amount of wind and solar power generation, the volatility and randomness of its output limit the system's consumption of renewable energy, resulting in a large amount of wind and solar resources being wasted during low load periods. In this context, using green electricity to produce ammonia and combining it with the ammonia-coal co-firing technology is of great significance for reducing the integrated energy system's dependence on fossil fuels and promoting the decarbonization process.

[0003] "Green ammonia" has inestimable potential in stabilizing wind and solar fluctuations, participating in the demand management of the source side of integrated energy systems, and solving the difficult problems of hydrogen storage and transportation for power-to-hydrogen.

[0004] Integrated demand response guides users to participate in load regulation through energy price signals, which can effectively promote the consumption of renewable energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and plays an important role in promoting the transformation of integrated energy systems towards sustainable development. By fully exploring the coordination and cooperation between the demand side and the source side, good interaction between the source and the load can be promoted.

[0005] To improve the environmental sustainability of integrated energy systems, introducing a stepped carbon trading mechanism to quantify carbon emission rights as a schedulable resource with economic value can fully tap the emission reduction potential and serve as an effective economic means to incentivize environmental protection production strategies.

[0006] Existing research on ammonia energy utilization mostly focuses on the analysis of energy flow characteristics, lacking the collaborative optimization of ammonia energy with demand-side resources and the carbon trading mechanism, and not fully and precisely utilizing the ammonia energy and thermal energy in the power-to-ammonia process, resulting in limited system flexibility and difficulty in exerting its low-carbon potential. Therefore, from the perspectives of promoting the consumption of renewable energy, improving the energy structure, and promoting system energy conservation and emission reduction, it is of great significance to establish a low-carbon operation model for integrated energy systems considering power-to-ammonia and demand response. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Demand-side management strategy According to the characteristics of the demand-side load, the electric load is divided into fixed load, shiftable load and interruptible load. After implementing incentive-based demand response on the electric load, the actual electric load is as follows:

[0042] In the formula: , , and are respectively t the actual electric load, predicted electric load, shiftable electric load and interruptible electric load during a period.

[0043] Due to the subjectivity of user thermal comfort, changes within the comfortable temperature range will not significantly affect user satisfaction, thus enhancing the adjustability of flexible loads. After integrating the thermal load demand response, the actual thermal load is as follows:

[0044] In the formula: , , and are respectively t the actual thermal load, predicted thermal load, shiftable thermal load and interruptible thermal load during a period.

[0045] Trading model of the stepped carbon trading mechanism The carbon trading mechanism requires authorized emission right exchanges between designated entities to effectively supervise carbon emissions and reduce the overall carbon emissions of the integrated energy system. In this paper, a stepped carbon trading mechanism is introduced to limit the carbon emissions of the integrated energy system.

[0046] During a settlement period of the stepped carbon trading mechanism, the trading share of the system participating in the carbon trading market is:

[0047] Wherein: is the carbon emission; is the actual carbon emission quota of the integrated energy system; is the carbon emission quota of the integrated energy system.

[0048] If the carbon emission is lower than the quota, the enterprise will receive a subsidy and can sell the remaining quota; if the emission exceeds the quota, they must purchase emission rights, and the higher the emission, the higher the cost. This model processes the actual emissions through piecewise linearization to calculate the carbon cost, specifically as follows:

[0049] Wherein: is the carbon trading cost; is the benchmark price of carbon trading; is the growth rate of the carbon trading price; is the interval length of carbon emissions.

[0050] Environmental Emission Cost Model There is a risk of nitrogen oxide emissions in the co - combustion of ammonia and coal, but it can be effectively controlled through technologies such as air staging and combustion organization. Therefore, this paper assumes that the calculation of nitrogen oxide emissions from ammonia - coal co - combustion coal - fired units is the same as that under pure coal combustion conditions. The actual emissions of nitrogen oxides are calculated based on the consumption of electricity, natural gas, and ammonia, specifically as follows:

[0051] Wherein: is the pollutant emission; , and are the pollutant emissions generated by the consumption of coal, natural gas, and ammonia respectively; , and are the pollutant emission factors of coal, natural gas, and ammonia respectively.

[0052] The calculation formula of the environmental cost is as follows:

[0053] Wherein: is the pollutant emission cost; is the tax amount payable per unit of pollution equivalent; is the conversion coefficient of the pollutant; is the emission standard value of the pollutant.

[0054] Low - carbon Operation Scheduling Model of Integrated Energy System Objective function: Taking the minimum system operation cost as the objective function, and on this basis, converting the wind and light curtailment amounts and carbon trading volumes into penalty costs and including them in the system operation cost. The scheduling plan model is as follows:

[0055] In the formula: is the total cost of the integrated energy system; is the energy procurement cost of the integrated energy system; is the operation and maintenance cost of the scheduling units in the integrated energy system; is the start-stop cost of coal-fired units, CHP, and GB in the integrated energy system; is the penalty cost for wind and light curtailment in the integrated energy system; is the carbon emission and environmental cost in the integrated energy system; is the IDR cost of the integrated energy system.

[0067] Solve the established low-carbon optimal scheduling model of the ammonia-integrated energy system to obtain the optimal scheduling plan.

[0068] (1) Parameter setting: In this paper, a certain integrated energy demonstration area in the north is selected as the research object for example simulation, and its system structure is as Figure 2 shown. The predicted values of wind power output, photovoltaic power output, electric load, and heat load within the integrated energy system are as Figure 3 shown. The time-of-use electricity price, time-of-use natural gas price, and equipment parameters of each device in the integrated energy system are shown in Tables 1 to 3. The penalty cost for wind and light curtailment is 300 yuan / MW×h.

[0072] (2) Analysis of the scheduling results of the integrated energy system: It should be noted that in the provided text, there is an ellipsis in the translation of line 24 which should be adjusted according to the actual content. Also, the 7-digit tags are preserved as per the requirement. To verify the effectiveness of the low-carbon optimal scheduling of the integrated energy system considering power-to-ammonia conversion and demand response, the following three optimization schemes are set for comparative analysis: Scheme 1: Only consider the stepped carbon trading, without considering the influence of P2A and IDR; Scheme 2: On the basis of Scheme 1, consider the participation of P2A, and take into account the influence of the heat supply power of P2A and ammonia-coal co-firing; Scheme 3: Consider P2A and IDR simultaneously to verify their influence on the low-carbon operation of the integrated energy system.

[0073] The optimal scheduling results of the above three schemes are shown in Table 4. Figure 4 Figure 4 shows the electric energy scheduling results of the three schemes. Figure 5 Figure 5 shows the heat energy scheduling results of the three schemes.

[0074] Table 4 Scheduling results under three schemes Dispatch result Scheme 1 Scheme 2 Scheme 3 Coal purchase cost / 10,000 yuan 129.61 120.97 114.53 Gas purchase cost / 10,000 yuan 217.35 192.03 183.57 Operation and maintenance cost / 10,000 yuan 67.09 48.23 32.68 Startup and shutdown cost / yuan 3.46 2.53 1.27 Wind and solar curtailment cost / 10,000 yuan 6.13 2.09 0.93 Environmental cost / 10,000 yuan 5.76 3.57 2.35 Carbon trading cost / 10,000 yuan 11.14 6.34 4.13 IDR cost / 10,000 yuan 0 0 7.37 Total cost / 10,000 yuan 440.54 375.76 346.83 Carbon emissions / ton 4707.43 3982.08 3527.62 Wind and solar curtailment rate 24.52% 8.34% 3.71%

[0075] As shown in Table 4, Scheme 1 does not include P2A equipment, and the system fails to fully utilize the wind and light resources, resulting in the highest costs for coal purchase, gas purchase, and renewable energy curtailment. Therefore, its carbon emissions and total costs are the highest. After introducing P2A in Scheme 2, P2A converts the surplus wind and light output into ammonia fuel for storage. Compared with Scheme 1, the curtailment rate of wind and light is reduced by 16.18%. In addition, in Scheme 2, the system directly uses ammonia fuel as part of the fuel for the coal-fired unit to increase its power output and utilizes the heat generated during the ammonia synthesis process in P2A, reducing the coal usage of the system and the natural gas required for the gas-fired unit for heating. As a result, the coal and natural gas procurement costs of the system are reduced by 6.67% and 11.65% respectively.

[0076] Generally speaking, compared with Scheme 1, the total cost of Scheme 2 is reduced by 14.7%, and the carbon emissions are reduced by 15.41%, proving that considering P2A and ammonia-coal co-firing technology can effectively improve the low-carbon economic operation ability of the system. Scheme 3 introduces integrated demand response on the demand side on the basis of Scheme 2. By adjusting the energy consumption plans of multiple energy consumers, that is, transferring part of the electricity and heat loads during high energy price periods to low energy periods and reducing the energy consumption of part of the loads, the supply-demand relationship is optimized, so as to realize the mutual substitution of electric energy and heat energy on the user side and smooth the demand for electric and heat loads. Compared with Scheme 2, the total cost, carbon trading cost, and curtailment cost of wind and light of the system are all reduced. Therefore, introducing integrated demand response effectively coordinates the environmental protection and economy of the system.

[0077] As Figure 4 neutralize Figure 5As shown in a) of , in Scenario 1, the electricity demand is low while the heat demand is high during the two time periods of 1:00 - 05:00 and 23:00 - 24:00, resulting in the CHP operating at a high level. During this period, the WHB recovers waste heat from the CHP to generate steam and meet the heat demand. However, the power output of the CHP compresses the system's ability to absorb wind and solar resources, leading to a significant increase in the curtailment of wind and solar power. Also, due to the high output of the GB and CHP, the carbon emissions of Scenario 1 reach the highest level.

[0078] As Figure 4 shown in Figure 5 b) of , in Scenario 2, the system in Scenario 2 uses P2A to convert surplus wind and solar power into ammonia and uses ammonia as part of the fuel supply for the coal-fired unit. This reduces the use of fossil fuels in the system, enables the coal-fired unit to obtain more zero-carbon fuels, improves the low-carbon economy and operational efficiency of the coal-fired unit, and increases the power generation of the coal-fired unit at all times. As the power generation of the coal-fired unit increases, the power generation of the gas turbine during this period will decrease. At the same time, it also reduces the thermal power output of the WHB during low heat demand periods, resulting in an increase in the heat output power of the GB. However, during the peak heat load period from 1:00 - 05:00, the thermal power generated by P2A alleviates the heating pressure of the system. Although the increase in the heat power output of the GB will lead to an increase in carbon emissions, the reduction in carbon emissions from the coal-fired unit and CHP offsets the increase in carbon emissions from the GB. Therefore, the application of P2A technology realizes the utilization of multiple energy pathways, reduces the operating costs of gas and coal-fired units in the system, and enhances the low-carbon operation ability of the system.

[0079] Scenario 3 adjusts the energy consumption pattern on the load side of the system through integrated demand response, enabling the system to optimize the supply-demand relationship, thereby alleviating the mismatch between the power load and the characteristics of wind power generation. The electricity dispatch results of Scenario 3 are as Figure 4 shown in Figure 5 c) of . Some power loads are affected by time-differentiated electricity prices, and the load is shifted from the peak electricity consumption periods of 10:00 - 13:00 and 18:00 - 21:00 to the off-peak electricity consumption periods of 01:00 - 07:00 and 14:00 - 16:00, thus increasing the consumption of renewable energy. The heat dispatch results of Scenario 3 are as shown in c) of . The heat load is affected by the natural gas price, and the heat load is shifted from the peak period to the off-peak period. Moreover, the thermal power generated by P2A and the WHB supply additional heat loads during the off-peak period, thereby reducing the consumption of natural gas and lowering the operating cost and carbon emission level of the system.

[0080] (3) Sensitivity analysis of carbon emission trading: The parameter setting of the stepped carbon emission trading will directly affect the energy dispatch of the integrated energy system. In this section, the operating costs and carbon emissions of different carbon emission costs are compared and analyzed, and the optimization results are as follows Figure 6 as shown

[0081] As the carbon trading price rises from 0 yuan / ton to 200 yuan / ton, the system carbon emissions decrease by 14.6%. This is because the cost of carbon trading gradually increases, restricting the system's carbon emissions, thus prompting the system to reduce emissions to lower the trading cost. When the carbon trading price rises, the carbon trading cost increases, and the total cost of the system also increases accordingly. Taking the carbon trading price of 100 yuan / ton set in this paper as an example, if carbon trading is not carried out, the system carbon emissions are 202.94 tons higher than those in Scheme 3, indicating that the stepped carbon trading can effectively reduce emissions and improve the environmental protection of the system.

[0082] Conclusion To improve the low-carbon economic operation ability of the integrated energy system, this paper proposes a low-carbon dispatching method for the integrated energy system considering power-to-ammonia and demand response. The following conclusions are obtained through the comparative analysis of different schemes.

[0083] 1) The coordination of P2A and ammonia-coal co-firing enhances the consumption capacity and low-carbon characteristics of the integrated energy system. Compared with the scheme without considering P2A, the proposed scheme in this paper reduces the carbon emissions by 15.4% and the wind and light curtailment rates by 16.18%. At the same time, in the process of using P2A heat, the system energy supply form of the heat load is changed, the demand for natural gas by CHP is reduced, and the low-carbon economic operation of the system is promoted.

[0084] 2) Considering IDR can effectively exert the regulation ability of the demand side and achieve "peak shaving and valley filling" of the load. Through the translation and reduction of the electric and heat loads, the dependence of the system on fossil fuels such as coal and gas is reduced, and the carbon emission cost and energy purchase cost are reduced by 34.9% and 4.8% respectively, improving the economy and flexibility of the system.

[0085] 3) Parameters such as the carbon trading base price will significantly affect the energy utilization strategy and total cost of the system. Through the sensitivity analysis of the system, it can be found that the total cost of the system increases with the increase of the carbon trading price, and the carbon emissions generally show a downward trend.
