TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a pumped storage power station comprehensive value evaluation method and a computer system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, the penetration rate of new energy power generation such as wind power and photovoltaic power is continuously improved, and the new power system presents the characteristics of high proportion of new energy and high proportion of power electronic equipment. However, new energy power generation has strong volatility and intermittency, and high proportion of access to the power system may lead to wind curtailment, light curtailment and load loss, thereby threatening the stable and reliable operation of the new energy power system. It is urgent to fully tap the flexibility resources on the source, network, load and storage sides to enhance the regulation capability of the power system.
[0003] As an effective flexible resource of the power system, the pumped storage power station has the ability of rapid start and stop and flexible output regulation, which helps to improve the consumption capacity of new energy, ensures the safe and stable operation of the system, and improves the economy and power supply quality of the power system. However, due to the lack of a unified pumped storage value evaluation system, the necessity and importance of its construction are often questioned. Under the planning of the total installed capacity target, it is difficult to avoid some pumped storage power stations with limited contribution to the construction of new power systems. Therefore, a comprehensive value evaluation technology of pumped storage power stations suitable for new power systems is urgently needed to scientifically guide the rational investment and orderly construction of pumped storage power stations.
[0004] At present, the value evaluation technology of pumped storage power stations mainly considers the operation characteristics of traditional power systems and focuses on the value measurement from the perspective of meeting the operation demand of the power grid. The existing method usually evaluates the value of pumped storage from a single dimension (such as economy), and cannot fully reflect the comprehensive role of pumped storage in improving the resilience of the power system, promoting new energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions. In addition, the existing evaluation technology does not fully consider the influence of the new energy curtailment penalty mechanism on the dispatching of the power system, resulting in deviation between the evaluation results and actual demand. Therefore, the application proposes a comprehensive value evaluation method of pumped storage power stations, which is multi-dimensional, dynamic and matched with the operation characteristics of new power systems.

[0016] Step 2: Load a new power system dispatch and operation optimization model that takes into account the penalty mechanism for curtailment of new energy power generation.
[0017] A novel power system dispatch and operation optimization model that takes into account the penalty mechanism for curtailment of renewable energy generation aims to minimize the variable cost of synchronous generator units in the entire power system and reduce the curtailment of renewable energy.
[0018] First, a total variable operating cost model for thermal power generating units in the new power system is established. This model should comprehensively consider the start-up and shutdown costs as well as the generation costs of the thermal power units. On an hourly time scale, the total start-up and shutdown cost model for thermal power units can be expressed as: (1) In the formula: C ts Total start-up and shutdown cost of thermal power generating units; T Number of time periods; N t This represents the number of thermal power units.

[0029] 3) Daily power generation constraint (23) 4) Start-stop times constraint (24) In the formula: N L is the upper limit of the start-stop times of the pumped storage power station unit per day.
[0030] Step 3: Substitute the power system structure and parameters obtained in step 1 into the objective function and its constraints in step 2 to calculate the operation data of the power system.
[0031] Specifically, two scenarios with and without pumped storage power station participation in regulation are constructed, and a typical day is selected by using the Matlab platform CPLEX optimization solver to perform time period (such as hourly, daily) operation simulation on the above two scenarios, and obtain the data of thermal power unit start-stop state, power output, system operation cost, fuel consumption and new energy curtailment under each condition, as shown in Table 3.
