Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optimized configuration of independent microgrid energy storage systems, and specifically to an independent microgrid electric-hydrogen energy storage planning method that takes into account energy supply reliability. Background Technology

[0002] Reliable power supply in remote areas is a major challenge for power grids, with the core issues being high economic costs and complex technical difficulties. Independent microgrid technology offers an effective solution to this problem, and the development of microgrids tailored to local conditions has become a current research hotspot. However, existing independent microgrids still have shortcomings in terms of reliable power supply: their core wind and solar power sources are characterized by fluctuations, intermittency, and uncertainty, making it difficult to continuously guarantee power supply. This can easily lead to power outages lasting for hours or even days, significantly reducing the quality of electricity for users and causing inconvenience to economic development and people's livelihoods.

[0003] To improve the reliability and user satisfaction of independent microgrids, existing technologies generally employ electrochemical energy storage to enhance power supply stability. Unlike existing research, this invention innovatively introduces hydrogen energy storage into the electrochemical energy storage framework. Hydrogen energy not only possesses environmentally friendly characteristics but also exhibits lower energy loss compared to electrochemical storage and can store energy for extended periods. When wind and solar power are unavailable and electrochemical energy storage is depleted, hydrogen energy can effectively support the operation of the microgrid system, thereby significantly improving power supply reliability.

[0092] Furthermore, the method for runtime layer simulation evaluation in step S3 is as follows:

[0093] When the net load is >0, depending on the power shortage situation, the three operations of energy storage discharge, fuel cell power generation and load shedding are sequentially invoked.

[0094] When the net load is less than 0, the three operations of charging the electric storage, producing hydrogen from the electrolyzer, and executing the curtailment of wind and solar power will be called in sequence according to the power surplus situation.

[0095] When net load = 0, no equipment needs to operate.

[0096] Furthermore, step S3 involves iteratively updating the capacity parameter using a heuristic algorithm until the convergence condition is met, including the following steps:

[0097] The planning layer calculates the fitness value of each individual based on the objective function, and ranks the individuals accordingly.

[0098] Subsequently, a new generation of individuals is generated according to the rules of the selected heuristic algorithm;

[0099] Check if the termination condition has been met; if so, output the current best individual.

[0100] The termination condition is reaching the preset maximum number of iterations, or the fitness value of the optimal individual not changing in a number of consecutive iterations.

[0101] The advantages of this invention are:

[0102] By coordinating the configuration of electric energy storage and hydrogen energy storage systems, the reliability of independent microgrid power supply and overall power quality can be improved through energy complementarity. Utilizing the extremely low self-loss characteristics of hydrogen energy storage, it can serve as a backup energy source for electrochemical energy storage when wind and solar resources are continuously scarce, thus avoiding power outages caused by the depletion of energy storage. Key reliability indicators such as load shedding and wind and solar curtailment are incorporated into system constraints to ensure that the planning scheme meets the requirements for high power supply reliability. Through the coordinated scheduling of electrochemical energy storage and hydrogen energy storage, a cross-time period energy relay can be formed.

[0103] With the goal of minimizing the sum of configuration and operating costs of the electric-hydrogen energy storage system, we take into account both equipment investment costs and operating penalty costs, optimize the best ratio of electric energy storage and hydrogen energy storage, avoid capacity waste caused by a single energy storage technology, and minimize the total system cost.

[0104] Accurately model the operational characteristic constraints of fuel cells, electrolyzers, electrical energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage, and improve the accuracy of operational simulation through refined equipment models;

[0105] A two-layer optimization framework (upper planning layer and lower execution layer) is adopted, and heuristic algorithms are applied to solve the problem, which effectively reduces the difficulty of solving complex models. Attached Figure Description

[0186] S3. A two-layer optimization framework is used for solving the model: To facilitate model solving, the model is divided into a planning layer and an operation layer. The planning layer includes an objective function with the goal of minimizing the total cost, while the operation layer includes various constraints related to system operation.

[0187] S31, Planning Layer (Capacity Optimization): Select a heuristic algorithm (such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, etc.) to randomly initialize a set of individuals. Each individual contains planning variables such as electrical energy storage capacity, hydrogen energy storage capacity, fuel cell rated power, and electrolyzer rated power. The generated capacity combinations are then passed to the operation layer for simulation evaluation.

[0188] S32. Operational Layer (Simulation Evaluation): Based on given load demand, wind and solar power output time-series data, and equipment capacity parameters transmitted from the planning layer, conduct year-round time-period operational simulations. The simulation method is as follows: First, calculate the net load, which is the current time-period load demand minus wind and solar power output, to obtain the net load value. Simulation evaluation is conducted based on the following conditions:

[0189] If the net load is greater than 0, indicating a power shortage, the system will prioritize discharging the stored energy to meet the net load. If there is still a power gap after the stored energy is discharged, the fuel cell will be activated to supplement the power. If the fuel cell still cannot meet all the demand, the system will perform a load shedding operation.

[0190] Net load < 0, i.e., surplus power: prioritize using surplus power to charge the electric energy storage; if there is still surplus power after reaching the maximum charging power or after the electric energy storage is fully charged, start the electrolyzer to produce hydrogen; if there is still surplus power after the electrolyzer is running at full power or the hydrogen storage equipment has reached the maximum allowable storage capacity, discard that part of the wind and solar power.

[0191] S33. Result Feedback and Individual Update: After the simulation is completed, the cumulative annual load shedding and wind / solar curtailment are calculated and uploaded to the planning layer. The planning layer calculates the fitness value of each individual based on the total cost formula, and ranks the individuals accordingly. Subsequently, a new generation of individuals is generated according to the rules of the selected heuristic algorithm (such as selection, crossover, mutation, particle position update, etc.).

[0192] S34. Termination Judgment and Output: Check whether the preset maximum number of iterations has been reached, or whether the fitness value of the optimal individual has not changed in several consecutive iterations. If either termination condition is met, output the current optimal individual; otherwise, return to step S32 to continue the simulation and iterative update.

[0193] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
