Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power optimization and dispatching, and specifically relates to a method for joint optimization of pumped storage and wind, solar and hydropower systems based on demand management. Background Art

[0002] With the continued growth of my country's national economy, industrial electricity demand continues to climb, and the installed capacity of the power grid has also increased dramatically. This trend has significantly widened the difference between the peak and valley loads of the power system, further exacerbating the complexity and urgency of the power grid's peak load regulation problem. Against this backdrop, the demand for peak load regulation capacity in the power grid has become increasingly significant.

[0003] Given its renewable nature and flexible start-up and shutdown capabilities, hydropower has become an important means of peak regulation for my country's power grid and plays an increasingly important role in ensuring the safe, stable and efficient operation of the power grid. However, the peak regulation capacity of reservoir-type hydropower stations is limited.

[0004] The power generation output of renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation is highly random. When the electricity generated by wind power and photovoltaic power generation is greater than the industrial load during the period of low industrial load, wind and solar power curtailment is prone to occur. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem with this invention is that industrial loads vary widely from peak to valley, and wind, photovoltaic, and run-of-river small hydropower are subject to volatility and uncertainty, while reservoir-type small hydropower has limited regulatory capacity. During periods of low industrial load, when wind, solar, and hydropower generation exceeds the industrial load, this leads to curtailment of wind, solar, and hydropower, resulting in a waste of clean resources. During peak load periods, when wind, solar, and hydropower generation is less than the load itself, purchasing electricity from the grid results in higher electricity and demand charges.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned problems and provide a method for joint optimization of pumped storage and wind, solar and hydropower systems based on demand management, constructing a two-layer optimization model including upper and lower optimization models.

Through the "time shift" capability of pumped storage, the daily electricity consumption and electricity charges of industrial users purchasing electricity from the superior power grid are reduced while the monthly electricity charges for purchasing electricity from the superior power grid are reduced, thereby reducing the total operating costs of industrial users. The clustering effect of distributed pumped storage is used to improve the accuracy of joint scheduling optimization and reduce the waste of clean energy.

[0031] Step 2: Construct a two-level optimization model including upper and lower optimization models. The upper optimization model considers the benefits of pumped storage for industrial users' demand electricity charges, the benefits of electricity charges, and the construction cost of distributed pumped storage. The optimization goal is to maximize the construction benefits of the pumped storage power station. The lower optimization model includes an industrial user operating cost optimization model and a maximum power purchase demand optimization model, which are used to solve the operation plan of the system, the daily power purchase and sale of industrial users to the power grid, and the monthly maximum power purchase demand, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0032] The objective function of the upper optimization model is to maximize the annual benefit of the distributed pumped storage power station: ; In the formula For the Monthly demand electricity charge reduction benefit; For the The benefit of reducing daily electricity consumption and electricity charges; the cost of building distributed variable-speed pumped hydro storage; The construction period of the project; is the number of operating months per year; for The number of days in the month.

[0036] The constraints of the upper-level optimization model include: Distributed pumped storage capacity and power constraints: ; ; In the formula The upper limit of the capacity of pumped storage power station units; For the The volume of the reservoir upstream of each pumped storage power station; It is the upper limit of upstream storage capacity.

[0037] Step 3: Based on the pumped storage capacity configuration plan provided by the upper-level optimization model, combined with historical load data and the output of wind power plants, photovoltaic power plants, and hydropower plants, the maximum power purchase demand optimization model is called each month to determine the maximum power purchase demand for that month and optimize the demand electricity fee; The maximum electricity purchase demand optimization model is: ; In the formula Indicates industrial users Monthly demand electricity charge; For industrial users Monthly maximum load; For the At the maximum load of the month, Power generation capacity of pumped storage power stations; For the The power generation capacity of the small hydropower station at the monthly maximum load; For the Wind power generation capacity at the monthly maximum load; For the Photovoltaic power generation at the monthly maximum load; It is the serial number of the hydropower station.

[0038] The constraints of the maximum electricity purchase demand optimization model include: Output power constraints for wind power plants, photovoltaic power plants, and small hydropower plants: ; In the formula is the upper limit of the output power of the photovoltaic power station; is the upper limit of the output power of the wind farm; is the maximum power generation capacity of the hydropower station; is the minimum power generation capacity of the hydropower station.

[0039] Dynamic balance constraints of hydropower station storage capacity: ; In the formula For the hydropower station sky Inbound traffic during the time period; For hydropower stations sky Reservoir capacity during the period; At the reservoir sky Reservoir capacity during the period; For hydropower stations sky Outbound flow during the period.

[0040] Step 4: Using the maximum electricity purchase demand obtained in step 3 as a constraint, and using the industrial user operating cost optimization model, optimize the operating strategies of wind power stations, photovoltaic power stations, hydropower stations, and distributed pumped storage power stations, as well as the industrial user electricity purchase and sales plans for that month.

[0041] The optimization model of industrial user operating costs is: ; The electricity purchase cost The calculation formula is as follows: ; ; ; In the formula For the month Daily electricity consumption and electricity charges; is the number of operating days in the month; For the sky Industrial user load during the time period; For the sky The power generation capacity of the hydropower station during the period; For the sky Wind power generation during the time period; For the sky Photovoltaic power generation during the period; Power purchased for industrial users; Indicates the relationship between renewable energy output and load. When the renewable energy output is less than the power required by the load, the system is in the power purchasing state and the value is 1. Otherwise, the value is 0.

[0042] Electricity sales benefits The calculation formula is as follows: ; ; In the formula for The electricity sales price during the time period; Power sold to industrial users; It represents the relationship between new energy and load. When the total output of new energy is greater than the load, it is in the power selling state and the value is 1, otherwise it is 0.

[0043] The constraints of the industrial user operating cost optimization model include: System power balance: ; Electricity generation is subject to cross-sectional constraints imposed by the capacity of transmission lines: ; In the formula The maximum power transmitted by the output lines of the new energy systems of industrial and mining enterprises.

[0044] Upper and lower limit constraints on hydropower station storage capacity: ; In the formula and They are the lower and upper limits of the reservoir flow of the hydropower station respectively.

[0045] Distributed pumped storage ramping constraints: ; In the formula and are the minimum and maximum conversion speeds of pumped storage water, respectively; and They are the minimum conversion speed and maximum conversion speed of pumped storage power generation respectively.

[0046] To ensure a smooth transition between pumping and generating modes, a pumped-storage power station must undergo a shutdown phase as an intermediate stage. This constraint aims to prevent instantaneous state reversals, preventing the system from being in generating mode one moment and then immediately switching to pumping mode the next, or vice versa. Therefore, the following constraints are set as state constraints for the pumped-storage power station.

[0047] Distributed pumped storage power station state switching constraints: ; To ensure the dispatching demand in the next period, it is necessary to ensure that the reservoir capacity at the beginning and end of the dispatching is the same. The reservoir capacity constraint of the pumped storage power station is: ; In the formula 、 Pumped storage power station In the The reservoir capacity at time period t and t+1, 、 、 Pumped storage power station In the sky The inflow, abandoned water and power generation discharge flows in each period.

[0048] Constraints on discharge flow of pumped storage power generation: ; Where, is the minimum discharge volume of the pumped storage power station; It is the maximum discharge volume of the hydropower station.

[0049] Pumped storage power station inflow constraints: ; In the formula It is the maximum value of the inflow flow into the pumped storage power station.

[0050] The system cannot be in the state of purchasing and selling electricity at the same time. The system's power purchasing and selling constraints are: ; Power transmission constraints for purchasing and selling electricity: ; In the formula The maximum power allowed to be transmitted between industrial users and the upper-level power grid.

[0051] Reservoir capacity constraints at the beginning and end of dispatching: ; In the formula Pumped storage power station at the initial dispatching time Storage capacity; To dispatch the pumped storage power station at the end of the storage capacity.

[0052] Load power constraint: ; Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each month in the scheduling cycle until the entire scheduling cycle is covered and the operation strategy optimization within the entire scheduling cycle is completed.

[0053] Step 6: Use an iterative optimization algorithm to solve the two-layer optimization model and obtain the optimal pumped storage capacity configuration plan and the joint operation and scheduling plan of the pumped storage and wind, solar and hydropower systems.

[0054] In the upper-level model, the decision variable is the pumped storage system capacity allocation plan, which aims to maximize the system's economic benefits while meeting power system demand. To achieve this goal, the upper-level model receives the monthly maximum demand value and the daily electricity price from the lower-level model. These variables reflect the power system's changing demand for pumped storage capacity in different months.

[0055] The lower-level model optimizes the daily operation of the pumped storage and wind, solar and hydropower systems. Its goal is to optimize the monthly demand electricity charges and daily electricity charges by adjusting the operation strategies of the pumped storage and wind, solar and hydropower systems based on the capacity configuration plan provided by the upper-level model. The optimization results are transmitted to the upper level in the form of pumped storage output at different time periods, which serves as an important basis for evaluating the economic feasibility of different capacity configuration plans.

[0056] The improved NSGA-II algorithm is used for hierarchical iterative solution, and load clustering and scenario reduction technology are introduced. The computational efficiency is improved by 40% compared with the traditional method, and the Pareto solution set coverage rate exceeds 90%, ensuring global convergence under complex constraints.

[0057] Example: To verify the effectiveness of this method, the installed power capacity was set according to the proportion of each power source in a certain region: 392 MW of photovoltaic power, 610 MW of wind power, and 120 MW of hydropower. Two distributed pumped-storage power stations were set, each with an initial installed capacity of 0 MW and an iteration step of 5 MW. Solving the pumped-storage constraint yielded a capacity range of [0 MW, 70 MW]. The proposed method yielded the optimal distributed pumped-storage capacity of 55 MW and 70 MW.

[0058] Depend on Figure 3As can be seen, during the flood season, hydropower station output increases significantly, while wind power output is relatively low. During the 2:00-4:00 AM and 11:00-14:00 PM periods of the daily load curve, the combined output of wind, solar, and small hydropower exceeds the system load demand. Consequently, the pumped storage system enters pumping mode, and the hydropower station's output decreases, reducing power transmission to the upstream grid. From 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM, the combined output of wind, solar, and small hydropower falls below the load demand, causing the pumped storage system to enter generating mode. Through the regulatory role of pumped storage, the system is able to meet the load demand as much as possible, reducing the need to purchase power from the upstream grid.

[0059] Depend on Figure 4 As can be seen, during the dry season, hydropower station output is low, while wind power output is relatively high. From 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM, the combined output of wind, solar, and small hydropower is insufficient to meet load demand, and pumped storage systems enter power generation mode to fill the power gap. From 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, the combined output of wind, solar, and small hydropower exceeds load demand, and pumped storage systems enter pumping mode. This energy storage reduces the amount of electricity purchased from the upper grid, thereby lowering electricity purchase costs.

[0060] When responding to changes in industrial load, rapid start-stop linkage is achieved through sequential coordination between the speed change units between power stations. During the dry season from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, to achieve rapid conversion between pumped storage and power generation, when the total output of wind, solar, and small hydropower exceeds the load requirements, one pumped storage power station can be prioritized for pumping, and then another pumped storage power station will generate power in the next period to ensure the flexibility of the pumped storage power station output. This demonstrates the superiority of the proposed method in reducing the total operating costs of industrial users, improving the accuracy of joint scheduling optimization, and thus reducing the waste of clean energy.

[0061] Implementation results show that this invention utilizes the synergistic effect of distributed pumped-storage clusters to enhance the dynamic response capability to random fluctuations in wind, solar, and hydropower through coordinated control of the start-stop sequence and output of multiple units. Compared with centralized pumped-storage, the distributed structure can more accurately match regional load characteristics, increase the renewable energy absorption rate by 10%-18%, and reduce the phenomenon of wind and solar power curtailment. By constructing a wind-solar-hydro-pumped-storage multi-energy coupling model, the complementary advantages of the rapid peak-shaving of hydropower stations and the flexible energy storage of pumped-storage are brought into play. This combination can increase the system's peak-shaving capacity utilization by 20%-30% and reduce the demand for backup capacity.

[0062] The upper-level model reduces unit storage construction costs through capacity optimization, while the lower-level model reduces users' average annual electricity bills by 8%-12%, improving overall economic efficiency in both directions. By smoothing peak-to-valley load variations, the upper-level grid's reserve capacity requirements are reduced by approximately 11%-16%, deferring investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure upgrades. Application of this model in one regional power grid increased peak-hour load factors by 7.2 percentage points, reducing peak-shaving costs by 18%.
