[0013] The above and other objects, features and advantages of this disclosure will become clearer from the following description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the working principle of a photovoltaic-pumped storage power station in an abandoned mine.
[0015] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for developing renewable energy from closed mines, according to an embodiment of this disclosure.
[0016] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the technical process and principle of a method for developing renewable energy from closed mines, as described in this disclosure. Detailed Implementation
[0017] This disclosure provides a method for developing renewable energy in closed mines, using wind power and photovoltaic power generation as the main renewable energy power generation technologies. It innovatively combines the resource endowment conditions and geographical spatial characteristics of closed mines with the planning of new energy power systems, thereby achieving spatial site selection and capacity configuration optimization for renewable energy development in closed mines.
[0018] Research and practice abroad combining mine closures with renewable energy have achieved relatively mature progress. For example, the Ruhr mining region in Germany has already achieved continuous wind power generation projects. Meanwhile, domestic scholar Zhang Zhenqi believes that the application of photovoltaic power generation technology in abandoned mine tailings dams has certain feasibility, and points out from an economic perspective that photovoltaic power generation systems are an effective choice for the sustainable development of abandoned mining areas. However, there are relatively few domestic scholars researching the site selection for renewable energy development in closed mines. Existing technologies are generally based on a single closed mine, combining pumped storage with photovoltaic power generation. Photovoltaic arrays transmit solar power generated through a confluence of current to a nearby pumped storage power station. When there are few electrical devices and the grid load is low, the transformer pumps water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir, storing this low-energy flow as the potential energy of the water. When the number of electrical devices increases and the grid load rises, the water is released from the upper reservoir to maintain grid stability. The workflow and principle are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. However, the above-mentioned existing technology still has the following drawbacks:
[0019] 1. There is limited research in China on the site selection for renewable energy development in closed mines, and most of it remains at the theoretical stage without specific experimental evidence.
[0020] 2. Current research is mainly limited to the level of individual mines, focusing on feasibility analysis, suitability evaluation and physical utilization potential assessment of specific mines. The research methods used are highly context-dependent, resulting in insufficient universality and generalizability of the research results.
[0021] 3. Existing research has limited coverage of integrating multiple closed mines on a large scale into the overall planning of new energy power networks from the perspective of the overall energy system. In particular, there are research gaps in key aspects such as capacity configuration and spatial layout optimization of multi-generation complementary power generation layers.
[0022] 4. Existing studies have given little consideration to the accurate matching of supply capacity and demand response in time and space after the development and grid connection of renewable energy from closed mines, and have not included closed mines as an important source of renewable energy power generation in the planning of future new energy power systems.
[0023] Therefore, this disclosure provides a method for developing renewable energy in closed mines, which uses wind power and photovoltaic power generation as the main renewable energy power generation technologies. It innovatively combines the resource endowment conditions and geographical spatial characteristics of closed mines with the planning of new energy power systems, thereby achieving spatial site selection and capacity configuration optimization for renewable energy development in closed mines.
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0025] In the embodiments disclosed herein, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a method for developing renewable energy in a closed mine is provided, including the following operations S1-S5:

[0031] According to embodiments of this disclosure, calculating the wind and solar capacity coefficient of a closed mine unit includes calculating the wind power capacity coefficient of the closed mine unit and calculating the photovoltaic power generation capacity coefficient of the closed mine unit.
[0032] Regarding the calculation of wind power capacity factor: Based on hourly-scale wind speed simulation data in both east-west and north-south directions, the wind power capacity factor of the closed mine unit is calculated according to the following formula. First, Equation 1 is used to synthesize the wind speed data in both directions.
[0033] (1);
[0034] (2);
[0035] Next, Equation 2 was used to calculate the real-time wind speed data at the height of the wind turbine hub. and These represent the wind speeds at the target altitude and the original altitude, respectively. and These represent the target height and the original height, respectively. The conversion factor varies depending on the geographical location. Subsequently, the real-time power of the wind turbine is inferred from the wind speed, as shown in Equation 3.
[0036] (3);

[0038] In the formula, This indicates the real-time power of the fan. This indicates the rated power of the fan. Indicates real-time wind speed. , and These represent the cut-in wind speed, rated wind speed, and cut-out wind speed of the wind turbine, respectively. Finally, using Formula 4, the ratio of the wind turbine's real-time power to its rated power is calculated as the capacity factor for closed-mine wind power generation. .
[0039] Regarding the calculation of photovoltaic power generation capacity factor: Based on the solar radiation data at the unit scale of the closed mine, the hourly photovoltaic power generation capacity factor of the closed mine for 8760 hours throughout the year is calculated using Equation 5.
[0040] (5);
[0041] In the formula, and These represent the conditions under which the photovoltaic module operates at the calculated time and under standard experimental conditions (photovoltaic module temperature is 25℃, solar radiation is 1000W / m²). 2 The solar energy conversion efficiency (at an air quality of 1.5 AM) is calculated. This paper assumes that the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module remains constant as the amount of solar radiation changes, i.e. and The ratio is always 1. This indicates the power loss during the photovoltaic module's power generation process. and These represent the calculated shading effect coefficient and temperature effect coefficient, respectively.
[0042] According to embodiments of this disclosure, assessing the wind and solar power generation potential of a closed mine unit includes assessing the wind power potential of the closed mine unit and assessing the photovoltaic power generation potential of the closed mine unit.
[0043] Regarding wind power potential assessment: First, based on the inherent characteristics of closed mines, a suitability evaluation index system for wind power development and utilization in closed mines is constructed. This system assesses the suitability of wind power development in closed mines nationwide, classifying them into those suitable for wind power development and those unsuitable. The evaluation index system is shown in Table 1.
[0044] Table 1. Evaluation Index System for the Suitability of Wind Power Development in Closed Mines
[0045]
[0046] Next, for closed mining units suitable for wind power development, their physical potential for wind power development was calculated using Formula 6:
[0047] (6);
[0048] In the formula This indicates the potential for maximum installed capacity of wind power generation from closed mining land resources. This indicates the area of the closed mine. This indicates the installed capacity of wind power per unit area.
[0049] Regarding the assessment of photovoltaic power generation potential: Similarly, a suitability evaluation index system for the development and utilization of photovoltaic power generation in closed mines is constructed to constrain the suitability of deploying photovoltaic power generation projects in closed mines. The evaluation index system is shown in Table 2.
[0050] Table 2. Suitability Evaluation Index System for Photovoltaic Power Generation Development in Closed Mines
[0051]
[0052] Assuming photovoltaic (PV) power generation adopts a fixed tilt installation mode, it is necessary to calculate the PV module installation factor for a closed mine unit. The PV installation factor refers to the effective PV panel area factor per unit land area, and the specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0053] (7);
[0054] In the formula, This refers to the photovoltaic installation factor. Finally, the photovoltaic installation capacity potential is calculated according to Formula 8:
[0055] (9);
[0056] In the formula, This indicates the maximum installed capacity potential of the photovoltaic power generation projects located in the closed mines; This indicates the power generation per unit area of a photovoltaic panel.
[0057] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the design for shutting down grid-connected wind and solar power generation lines in mining units based on grid partitioning includes:
[0058] Wind and solar power generation unit grids are divided based on geographical latitude and longitude information;
[0059] Each wind and solar power generation unit grid includes units with closed mines, and these units are connected to the nearest substation in their respective provinces via branch lines; and
[0060] Under the principle of ensuring the shortest total distance for wind and solar power grid connection, the substation is connected to the nearest major node in the same province via trunk lines.
[0061] According to the embodiments of this disclosure, the center point of each county or district is used as the spatial location of the substation, all prefecture-level cities and above in the urban agglomeration are positioned as load centers, and the center point of the load center in space is used as the main node of the power grid.
[0062] Specifically, each wind and solar power generation unit grid (including ordinary spatial grid units and closed mine units) is first connected to the nearest substation in its province via branch lines. Then, under the principle of minimizing the total grid connection distance for wind and solar power generation, the substation is connected to the nearest major node in the same province via trunk lines (the center point of each county or district in China is used as the spatial location of the substation in the model, all prefecture-level cities and above in the urban agglomeration are positioned as load centers, and the center point of the load center in space is used as the major node of the future power grid).
[0063] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the power generation dispatch layer is designed to rationally allocate annual power demand to various types of generator units on the supply side based on a heuristic dispatch sequence, using hours as the time scale. Fixed generating units are located in the first layer of the power generation dispatch layer, while generator units in closed mining units are located in the second layer.
[0064] Specifically, based on a heuristic scheduling sequence, annual electricity demand is rationally allocated to various types of generating units on the supply side on an hourly time scale, as shown in Table 3 below. Based on the electricity demand of each province and the generation of the first layer G1 (fixed generation layer, with priority power use, a mandatory operating layer) of the model's generation scheduling layer, the existing power gap in each province is calculated, and then the power generation of the second layer G2 to the fifth layer G5 is used to gradually fill the power gap. Renewable energy generation from closed mines is placed in the second layer of the model; this layer is also called the variable energy generation layer.

The design of the power generation dispatch layer includes allocating annual electricity demand to various types of generating units on the supply side based on a heuristic dispatch sequence, using hours as the time scale. The first layer of the power generation dispatch layer comprises fixed generating units, including nuclear power units, BECCS units, and mandatory CHP-CCS units. Generating units in closed mining units are located in the second layer, which also includes conventional wind and solar power units and offshore wind power units. The third layer includes hydropower units, the fourth layer includes all CHP-CCS units except those mandatory in the first layer, and the fifth layer includes natural gas CCS units. Based on the electricity demand of each province and the power generation of the first layer of the model power generation dispatch layer, the power gap in each province is calculated, and the power gap is gradually filled using the power generation from the second to the fifth layers. as well as A power system model incorporating closed mining units is constructed with the goal of minimizing construction and operation costs. The objective function is established with constraints including supply and demand balance constraints, wind and solar power generation constraints, stationary unit power supply constraints, wind and solar grid connection line constraints, inter-provincial transmission line constraints, reserve capacity demand, ramp-up capacity constraints, and energy storage operation constraints.
