Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0011] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0012] Please see Figure 1 The flowchart illustrates an optimization method for the site selection and capacity determination of pumped storage hydropower in a microgrid, as described in this application.

[0013] like Figure 1 As shown, the optimization method for the site selection and capacity determination of pumped storage hydropower in microgrids specifically includes the following steps: Step S101: Obtain new energy power generation data within the microgrid, calculate the proportion of new energy power generation based on the new energy power generation data, and delineate the site selection priorities corresponding to different intervals of the proportion of new energy power generation.

[0014] In this step, data on the power generation of new energy sources such as wind and solar power within the microgrid, as well as the total power generation data of the microgrid, are collected to calculate the proportion of new energy power generation. , The proportion of new energy power generation; Annual wind power generation; Annual solar power generation; This represents the total power generation of the microgrid. The proportion of renewable energy power generation is categorized as high (…). ),middle( ),Low( The three regions are divided into three areas. The region with the higher proportion has a higher site selection priority, because such regions need small hydropower pumped storage to absorb new energy and stabilize the power grid.

[0015] Step S102: Construct a cost analysis system based on site selection-related costs.

[0016] In this step, the costs involved in site selection are calculated. Plant construction costs are calculated based on plant size and construction standards; pumped-storage unit equipment costs are related to unit power and quantity; waterway construction costs depend on waterway length, materials, etc.; transmission line costs are related to the distance from the selected site to the microgrid access point; and operation and maintenance costs are referenced to the annual operation and maintenance costs of similar projects. The weights of each cost factor are determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), constructing a cost assessment system. In the AHP, the consistency test formula for the judgment matrix is ​​as follows: , The consistency ratio; As a consistency indicator; The average random consistency index is denoted as , where , To determine the largest eigenvalue of a matrix; To determine the order of a matrix, when When the judgment matrix has satisfactory consistency.

[0017] Step S103: Based on the site selection priority and the cost analysis system, establish a comprehensive site selection evaluation model and select the optimal site.

[0018] In this step, a comprehensive site selection evaluation model is established. The priority score corresponding to the proportion of renewable energy generation (5 points for high proportion, 3 points for medium proportion, and 1 point for low proportion) is weighted with the cost assessment score (higher score for lower cost, maximum score 5 points). The comprehensive score formula is as follows: , For the overall score; Priority weight; Score based on priority; Cost weighting; Cost assessment score; The comprehensive score of each potential site is obtained, and the site with the highest comprehensive score is selected as the optimal site.

[0019] Step S104: Analyze the power load demand and the fluctuation characteristics of new energy power generation within the microgrid to determine the basic capacity requirement of small hydropower pumped storage.

[0020] In this step, the power load curve within the microgrid is analyzed to determine peak and off-peak periods and the corresponding power demand. Simultaneously, the fluctuations in renewable energy generation are analyzed to identify periods of excess and insufficient renewable energy output, as well as the corresponding amounts of renewable energy generated. Based on this data, the power gap that small hydropower pumped storage needs to fill and the renewable energy that can be stored are determined, resulting in the basic capacity requirement.

[0021] Step S105: Based on preset constraints, with the goals of minimizing costs and maximizing renewable energy consumption, a fixed-capacity optimization model is constructed. The fixed-capacity optimization model is then solved using a preset solution algorithm to obtain the optimal energy storage capacity and installed power.

[0022] In this step, a fixed-capacity optimization model is constructed with the objectives of minimizing the total life-cycle cost (including plant construction cost, pumped-storage unit equipment cost, waterway construction cost, transmission line cost, and operation and maintenance cost) and maximizing the absorption of new energy. The objective function formula is: , in, Total lifecycle cost; For factory construction costs; For pumped storage unit equipment costs; For the cost of waterway construction; For transmission line costs; For operation and maintenance costs (cost minimization); , in, This refers to the amount of new energy consumed; Annual wind power generation; Annual solar power generation; To address the issue of wasted electricity (maximizing the consumption of renewable energy); Model constraints include real-time power balance constraints for microgrids. , for Wind power output during a given time period; for Solar power output during different time periods; for Small hydropower pumped storage output during certain periods; for The switching power between the time period and the main network; for Load demand during different time periods; for Network losses during specific time periods and the maximum charging and discharging power limits of small hydropower pumped storage. , Maximum charging and discharging power of small hydropower pumped storage for The charging and discharging power of small hydropower pumped storage during a given time period is represented by positive values ​​for discharging and negative values ​​for the upper and lower limits of charging and energy storage capacity. , This represents the minimum energy storage capacity. for Energy storage capacity for a given time period; This represents the maximum energy storage capacity.

[0023] It should be noted that the jackal optimization algorithm and the projective iterative optimization algorithm are used to solve the model. The jackal optimization algorithm simulates the behavior of a jackal pack searching for and hunting prey to perform global optimization, and its individual update formula is: , For the first Individuals The position at that moment; For the first Individuals The position at that moment; For following factors; A random number between 0 and 1; for The optimal individual position at any given time; As a competing factor; For the first A random individual in The position at time; the projection iterative optimization algorithm achieves local optimization by projecting the solution space onto a subspace and iteratively updating it. The iterative formula is: , For the first The solution for the next iteration; For the first The solution for the next iteration; This is the iteration step size; for In the feasible region The projection points on the surface are combined to obtain the optimal energy storage capacity and installed power.

[0024] In summary, the method of this application takes the proportion of renewable energy generation and various costs (plant construction cost, waterway construction cost, transmission line cost, and operation and maintenance cost) as the main factors when selecting a site. It constructs a site selection model in combination with the characteristics of microgrids. The capacity determination process comprehensively considers the power supply and demand, renewable energy consumption, and cost-effectiveness within the microgrid. It uses the jackal optimization algorithm and the projection iterative optimization algorithm to solve the problem. This method can improve the economy and adaptability of small hydropower pumped storage projects in microgrids, promote the efficient utilization of renewable energy, and enhance the stability of microgrids.
