DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for optimizing the frequency regulation of a thermal power unit based on flywheel energy storage, which decomposes the AGC instructions by introducing an improved ant colony algorithm to achieve dynamic coordinated response between the flywheel energy storage system and the thermal power unit.
[0022] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for optimizing the frequency regulation of a thermal power unit based on flywheel energy storage is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.
[0023] In this embodiment, a method for optimizing the frequency regulation of a thermal power unit based on flywheel energy storage is provided. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for optimizing frequency regulation of a thermal power unit based on flywheel energy storage according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps: Step S1: receiving the AGC frequency modulation instruction issued by the dispatching center in real time, and calculating the difference between the AGC frequency modulation instruction and the target power variation value of the thermal power unit power.
[0024] Specifically, AGC (Automatic Generation Control) frequency regulation commands are real-time power adjustment commands generated by the grid dispatching center based on parameters such as system frequency deviation and load fluctuation. They are used to control the output of generators and achieve dynamic grid frequency balance. Based on the received AGC commands, the power system combines the operating status and frequency regulation characteristics of the thermal power units to calculate the overall target power variation value ΔP, which serves as the basis for subsequent power adjustment and allocation.
[0025] Step S2: According to the operating status of the flywheel energy storage system and the power variation response model of the thermal power unit, the target power variation value is decomposed using the improved ant colony algorithm to obtain a power allocation plan.
[0026] Specifically, step S2 includes the following steps: Step S21 : Initializing the search space and control parameters required for optimization.
[0027] In this embodiment of the present invention, during the initialization phase, the thermal power unit receives an AGC instruction from the dispatcher and begins preparing for secondary frequency regulation. The algorithm system then initializes the search space and control parameters required for optimization, including the ant colony size (indicating the number of candidate power allocation solutions), pheromone weights (indicating the strength of guidance based on historical experience), heuristic weights (indicating the ability to guide current status, such as SOC adequacy and unit response delay), and the maximum number of iterations (to ensure the algorithm completes within the specified time limit). This phase establishes the basic optimization framework that meets the time constraints of real-time scheduling.
[0028] Step S22: constructing a power allocation path space based on the actual operating characteristics of the flywheel energy storage system and the thermal power unit, and calculating the probability of selecting each power allocation path based on the pheromone function and the heuristic function.
[0029] In an embodiment of the present invention, each ant represents a power allocation scheme, and the path selection is affected by state variables such as flywheel SOC, grid frequency deviation, and unit load margin. The probability of an individual selecting a path depends on two types of functions: the pheromone function reflects the accumulated experience of historical excellent strategies; the heuristic function is dynamically adjusted according to the current system state. For example, the closer the flywheel SOC is to the boundary, the lower the weight it is assigned, and the weight of its response capability increases when thermal power is in a low load range. In order to prevent the emergence of "infeasible solutions" that do not meet the actual operating restrictions in the strategy space, the present invention introduces an "adaptive elimination mechanism". During the path search process, an adaptive elimination mechanism is set to automatically exclude paths that do not meet the flywheel energy safety threshold or thermal power ramp limit, effectively avoiding the risk of frequency regulation failure or equipment overload.
[0030] Step S23: obtaining real-time operating status parameters of the flywheel energy storage system and the thermal power unit, and dynamically adjusting the pheromone function and the heuristic function according to the operating status parameters.
[0031] In this embodiment of the present invention, to adapt to dynamic changes in grid frequency, fluctuations in flywheel energy status, and changes in thermal power regulation capacity, the algorithm continuously obtains system feedback information (such as the degree of frequency offset, flywheel power curve response lag, and thermal power plant temperature rise) during operation and dynamically adjusts pheromones and heuristic functions. This strategy enables the algorithm to quickly re-optimize even when the system environment changes suddenly, making it suitable for scheduling scenarios with frequent frequency regulation commands.
[0032] Step S24: When the algorithm falls into a local optimum, the chaotic perturbation mechanism is triggered to perform nonlinear perturbations on the power allocation parameters of a preset part of the ant colony individuals to regenerate the power allocation parameters.
[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, in some AGC instruction scenarios, the system frequency deviation is small and the objective function changes slightly, and the traditional ant colony search is prone to fall into local optimality or even stagnation. To solve this problem, the present application designs a chaotic perturbation trigger mechanism: in multiple consecutive rounds of iterations, if the improvement value of the optimal objective function is lower than the set threshold, the system determines that it is currently trapped in a local minimum interval; at this time, the chaotic perturbation mechanism is triggered, and the positions of some preset ant colony individuals are perturbed in a nonlinear sequence perturbation manner (such as Logistic mapping) to expand the search range. Among them, the preset part of the ant colony individuals are the ants with the bottom 30% ranking, which is only used as an example and is not limited to this. This "global jump perturbation" mechanism effectively avoids the risk of missing the global optimal solution due to the early local optimal trap, which is extremely critical in multi-constrained non-convex problems such as power system frequency regulation.
[0034] Step S25 : reinitialize the power allocation parameters for the power allocation schemes whose scores are lower than the average value after a preset number of consecutive iterations.
[0035] In this embodiment of the present invention, after the chaotic perturbation is executed, some individuals may still be unable to escape the inferior solution set, especially during the system's high-frequency scheduling phase when the flywheel SOC continues to decrease and the thermal power response boundary is compressed. Therefore, the algorithm establishes an individual "inferior solution elimination mechanism" to reinitialize ants that have poor scores for a preset number of consecutive iterations and assign them a new strategy combination. The preset number of rounds is 15, which is only used as an example and is not limited to this. This operation improves population diversity, prevents premature population convergence, and enhances search space coverage.
[0036] Step S26 : Utilize multiple processing threads to simultaneously execute power path search and objective function evaluation.
[0037] In this embodiment of the present invention, considering that the power system frequency regulation response window is typically controlled within 2 seconds, this algorithm supports a parallel path search mechanism to enhance real-time computing capabilities. This mechanism breaks down the power allocation solution into multiple subtasks, and executes the power path search in parallel across multiple processing threads. These multiple processing threads simultaneously perform the power path search and objective function evaluation, significantly reducing the time required for a single iteration.
[0038] After each search round, all path results are evaluated and pheromones are updated based on the evaluation results. The power allocation path is determined to be either a good or bad path based on the evaluation results. If a path is a good path, the pheromone level is increased; if it is a bad path, the pheromone level is decreased. The evaluation results include comprehensive indicators such as frequency modulation error, power utilization, and flywheel life factor. If a path is determined to be a good path, it receives positive feedback, increasing its probability of subsequent path selection. If a path is determined to be a bad path, the pheromone level of the bad path is automatically attenuated, and the path is gradually eliminated.
[0039] Step S27: When the set maximum number of iterations is reached, or the objective function value of the optimal solution meets the frequency modulation error tolerance condition, the optimal power allocation solution in the current iteration round is output.
[0040] In this embodiment of the present invention, the system determines whether the current round of power allocation has met termination criteria, including whether the adjustment error is within the tolerance range and whether the maximum number of iterations has been reached. If these criteria are not met, the allocation plan is readjusted and executed in a loop. If these criteria are met, the current adjustment process ends and the optimal power allocation strategy for the current iteration is output. Specifically, these criteria include: the response power value and direction (charging / discharging) of the flywheel energy storage system; the adjustment power slope and target output value of the thermal power unit; the time ratio of the two executions and the load distribution coefficient. This result serves as the execution input of the control system, directly driving the operation of the flywheel converter and the thermal power regulation mechanism.
[0041] The core advantage of this algorithm lies in its combination of swarm intelligence optimization (ant colony algorithm), a chaotic global jump mechanism, and a dynamic environment-aware adjustment strategy. This effectively improves the efficiency and convergence accuracy of control strategy parameter optimization, making it particularly suitable for complex multivariable scenarios such as power system frequency regulation, energy management system optimization, and dispatch strategy search. Furthermore, by introducing a multi-constrained intelligent optimization algorithm, the stability and robustness of the power allocation strategy are enhanced.
[0042] Step S3: sending power instructions to the thermal power generation unit and the flywheel energy storage system according to the power allocation plan. The thermal power generation unit and the flywheel energy storage system operate according to the allocated power instructions.
[0043] Specifically, after calculating the optimal power allocation plan using an improved ant colony algorithm, two independent power commands are generated: the flywheel energy storage system command and the thermal power unit command. Upon receiving the command, the flywheel energy storage system rapidly adjusts the motor speed through the converter to quickly compensate for the difference between the thermal power unit command and the AGC command, achieving millisecond-level frequency regulation and compensating for the thermal power response lag. Upon receiving the command, the thermal power unit ramps the command and sets a maximum rate of change upper limit. The boiler and turbine control mechanisms gradually adjust the output according to the ramp rate, avoiding mechanical wear caused by step commands and reducing life loss. This algorithm aims to achieve collaborative operation between the thermal power unit and the flywheel energy storage system in an automatic generation control (AGC) scenario, while balancing system stability, response speed, and energy sustainability.
[0044] The present invention provides a method for optimizing the frequency regulation of a thermal power unit based on flywheel energy storage. This method realizes the coordinated power distribution between the flywheel and the thermal power unit through an improved ant colony algorithm, realizes coordinated frequency regulation control, and utilizes the flywheel energy storage system to quickly make up for the difference between the thermal power unit and the AGC instruction, thereby compensating for the delayed thermal power response and improving the overall system frequency response efficiency.
[0045] In an optional implementation, before executing step S21, the method further includes: Step S201: Obtain energy state parameters of the flywheel energy storage system, and compare the energy state parameters with a set threshold.
[0046] Step S202: When the energy state parameter is not within the set range, the flywheel energy storage system is not allowed to participate in frequency regulation.
[0047] Step S203: When the energy state parameter is within the set range, the flywheel energy storage system is allowed to participate in the frequency regulation task.
[0048] Specifically, the flywheel energy storage system's energy state parameter, namely its current state of charge (SOC), is determined based on the SOC value and the set upper and lower thresholds. If the SOC value is below the lower threshold, it indicates insufficient flywheel energy storage, and the flywheel system is temporarily not used in the current regulation cycle. If the SOC value is within the set range, the flywheel system is allowed to participate in the frequency regulation task. The setting range is [lower threshold, upper threshold].
