Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to microgrids containing compressed air energy storage, and more specifically to a scheduling method for compressed air energy storage microgrids based on security reinforcement learning. Background Technology
[0002] With the transformation of the energy structure, microgrids have become an important component of the power system due to their efficient absorption of renewable energy. In microgrids, energy storage systems are a key link in balancing the intermittency of renewable energy generation and the randomness of load, with compressed air energy storage (CAES) attracting significant attention due to its large-capacity storage characteristics. Currently, traditional energy storage scheduling methods are mostly based on rules or optimization algorithms, making charging and discharging decisions for energy storage systems through pre-defined logical or mathematical models. For example, some methods formulate fixed scheduling strategies based on historical data and experience, or use algorithms such as linear programming to solve for the optimal scheduling scheme under given constraints.
[0003] While these existing technologies can achieve energy storage dispatch to some extent, they have significant shortcomings. On the one hand, due to the high uncertainty of new energy power generation and load, and the real-time fluctuation of electricity prices, dispatch methods based on fixed rules or static models are difficult to adapt to the complex and ever-changing operating environment. This results in a lack of flexibility in dispatch schemes, an inability to fully utilize electricity price differences for economical operation, and high operating costs for microgrids. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage systems are subject to various constraints, such as compression power, turbine expansion power, gas pressure in the storage tank, and water volume and level in the thermal storage tank. Existing methods often fail to comprehensively and dynamically consider these constraints. In actual operation, the operating parameters of the energy storage system may exceed the safe range, affecting equipment lifespan and posing safety hazards, failing to balance dispatch optimization and system safety operation.
[0004] Furthermore, existing technologies, when handling the coordinated scheduling of multiple types of energy storage, lack in-depth exploration and synergistic optimization of the characteristics and advantages of each energy storage system, failing to fully leverage the overall efficiency of energy storage systems in microgrids. Simultaneously, the lack of effective mechanisms for handling uncertainties during operation results in poor reliability and robustness of scheduling outcomes, leading to relatively poor scheduling performance and making it difficult to meet the requirements for stable and efficient operation of microgrids. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the above-mentioned shortcomings, one of the objectives of this invention is to improve the efficiency of energy storage dispatch and achieve economical and safe operation.
[0006] The aforementioned energy storage dispatch efficiency is specifically reflected in the following three aspects:
[0007] ① New energy power generation is random and intermittent, and load demand changes in real time. At the same time, electricity prices fluctuate frequently. Existing dispatching methods are difficult to accurately adapt to this complex and ever-changing operating environment, resulting in high operating costs for microgrids. There is an urgent need for a dispatching strategy that can dynamically respond to changes and reduce costs.
[0008] ② Compressed air energy storage systems are subject to multiple constraints, such as compression power, turbine expansion power, air pressure in the storage tank, and water volume and level in the heat storage tank. Traditional scheduling techniques cannot effectively take these constraints into account, which can easily cause equipment operating parameters to exceed the safe range and threaten the safe and stable operation of the system. Therefore, a scheduling scheme that can effectively ensure the safe operation of the system is needed.
[0009] ③ In terms of coordinated scheduling of multiple types of energy storage in microgrids, existing methods have failed to fully explore the characteristics and advantages of each energy storage system for coordinated optimization, making it difficult to fully realize the overall efficiency of the energy storage system. There is an urgent need to realize a scheduling method for efficient coordination of multiple types of energy storage.
[0010] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a microgrid scheduling method based on security reinforcement learning for microgrids containing compressed air energy storage, comprising the following specific steps:
[0011] S1. Build the microgrid system architecture, model the dynamic characteristics of each module, and give relevant constraints.
[0012] S2. Construct a constrained Markov decision process, including defining its state space, action space, designing the reward function and auxiliary cost function, and establishing the objective of the constrained Markov decision process.
[0013] S3. Construct a reinforcement learning agent and train it using actual microgrid operation data.
[0014] S4 deploys the trained reinforcement learning agent into the microgrid control system to participate in the real-time scheduling of the microgrid.
[0015] Optionally, in some embodiments, step 1) of establishing a multi-module coupling model further includes: 2a) constructing a compressed air energy storage module, which includes a multi-stage compressor, an air tank, a turbine expander and a heat storage tank, and establishing a dynamic calculation model for compression power with independent parameter acquisition between stages;
[0016] 2b) Construct a battery energy storage system module, including a multi-dimensional parameter monitoring unit, and establish a dynamic state-of-charge model that integrates temperature efficiency correction and cycle decay constraints;
[0017] 2c) Construct a hot water tank module, including real-time inflow parameter monitoring, and establish a dynamic calculation model for water temperature based on synchronous updates of mass and heat; 2d) Establish a power interaction model for the new energy power generation module, load module, and external power grid connection module to support the state definition of the constrained decision framework.
[0018] The method described in this embodiment defines specific sub-steps for establishing a multi-module coupled model, including constructing a compressed air energy storage module, a battery energy storage system module, a hot water tank module, and a power interaction model. These sub-steps work synergistically to: First, accurately quantify the transient energy consumption of compressed air energy storage and the dynamic changes in the state of charge of the battery system through independent parameter acquisition between stages and multi-dimensional monitoring units. For example, the dynamic calculation model for compressed power considers the independent parameters of multiple compressor stages, solving the error accumulation problem caused by neglecting inter-stage differences in traditional overall models, thus significantly reducing power prediction errors. Second, the dynamic calculation model for water temperature in the hot water tank module is based on mass-heat synchronous updates, ensuring the real-time accuracy of heat transfer. Finally, the power interaction model integrates real-time data from new energy power generation, load, and the external power grid, supporting the completeness of state definitions. The interaction of these features enables dynamic coupling between modules, eliminating the limitations of traditional static models, thereby comprehensively improving model accuracy and system response capabilities. For example, experiments have verified that the power calculation deviation of the multi-stage coupled system is reduced by more than 15%, while avoiding the risk of parameter exceeding limits and extending equipment lifespan. Therefore, this scheme solves the technical problem that traditional methods cannot dynamically and comprehensively consider multiple constraints, and ensures system security and scheduling reliability through refined modeling.
[0019] Optionally, in some embodiments, the power generation calculation model of the turbine expander further includes:
[0020] 3a) Real-time acquisition of air mass flow rate, inlet temperature and expansion ratio of each stage of expander;
[0021] 3b) Calculate the theoretical expansion power step by step based on the thermodynamic exponential decay relationship;
[0022] 3c) Multiply the theoretical expansion power of each stage by the corresponding isentropic efficiency for dynamic correction, and sum them up to generate the actual power generation.
[0023] 3d) Based on the gas storage tank pressure safety threshold and the grid frequency regulation requirements, apply dynamic limiting constraints to the actual power generation.
[0024] The method described here, for calculating the power generation of a turbine expander, includes real-time parameter acquisition, step-by-step calculation of theoretical power, dynamic correction and accumulation of actual power, and application of dynamic limiting constraints. These steps form a closed-loop control logic: real-time acquisition of parameters such as air mass flow rate, inlet temperature, and expansion ratio provides high-fidelity input for theoretical calculations; step-by-step calculations based on the thermodynamic exponential decay relationship strictly follow the isentropic expansion law of gases, avoiding deviations from empirical formulas; dynamic correction of isentropic efficiency compensates for efficiency fluctuations caused by mechanical losses; finally, limiting is applied based on the gas storage tank pressure safety threshold and grid frequency regulation requirements to prevent power over-limit. The coordination between these features ensures the accuracy and safety of the expansion power calculation. For example, the fit between theoretical calculations and measured data reaches 93.3%, solving the problem of overestimation of power generation under high expansion ratio conditions. Simultaneously, dynamic limiting constraints coordinate energy efficiency and system safety, improving frequency regulation response speed by approximately 15% and eliminating the risk of gas storage tank overpressure. This solution overcomes the technical problems of inaccurate expansion power calculation and safety hazards, and improves system reliability and economy through collaborative optimization at the algorithm level.
[0025] Optionally, in some embodiments, the construction of the constrained decision framework in step 2) further includes: 4a) defining the state space including photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation, load power, real-time electricity price, gas pressure in the gas storage tank, water quality in the hot water tank, water temperature in the hot water tank, and battery state of charge;
[0026] 4b) Define the action space including compressor operating status and compression power, expander operating status and expansion power, and battery power setting;
[0027] 4c) Define the reward function as the negative value of the purchased power multiplied by the real-time electricity price minus the sold power multiplied by the discount rate multiplied by the real-time electricity price;
[0028] 4d) Define the auxiliary cost function as the sum of penalties for gas pressure deviation in the gas storage tank, water quality deviation in the hot water tank, water temperature deviation, and battery state of charge deviation.
[0029] The method described here involves constructing a constrained decision-making framework, including defining a state space, action space, reward function, and auxiliary cost function. The state space encompasses photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation, load power, real-time electricity price, gas storage tank pressure, hot water tank parameters, and battery state of charge, comprehensively capturing the microgrid's operating status. The action space focuses on the compressor / expander operating status and power setpoints, providing operational dimensions for decision-making. The reward function, centered on operating costs, drives economic optimization. The auxiliary cost function quantifies deviations in safety parameters and imposes penalties. These elements are interconnected: the comprehensiveness of the state space provides a basis for action selection, the reward function guides the minimization of electricity purchase and sale costs, and the auxiliary cost function enforces safety constraints through deviation penalties. For example, the state definition covers electricity price fluctuations and load changes, enabling the scheduling strategy to flexibly adapt to changing environments and significantly reducing electricity purchase costs. Simultaneously, the coupling of auxiliary cost and reward avoids the separation of economy and safety in traditional methods; experiments show that operating costs are reduced by more than 20% without any safety incidents. Therefore, it solves the technical problems of lack of scheduling flexibility and poor adaptability of static models, achieving a dynamic balance between economy and safety.
[0030] Optionally, in some embodiments, the construction of the auxiliary cost function further includes:
[0031] 5a) Real-time monitoring of gas pressure in the gas storage tank, water quality in the hot water tank, water temperature in the hot water tank, and battery charge status;
[0032] 5b) Calculate the absolute deviation of each parameter relative to the preset safety threshold;
[0033] 5c) Adaptively adjust the penalty weight coefficients for each deviation value based on the dynamic rate of change of the parameters;
[0034] 5d) The weighted deviation values are summed to generate the total auxiliary cost.
[0035] The method described here defines the specific construction steps of the auxiliary cost function, including real-time monitoring of safety parameters, calculation of absolute deviation values, adaptive adjustment of weight coefficients, and accumulation of total auxiliary costs. Real-time monitoring of parameters such as gas tank pressure, hot water tank mass and temperature, and battery state of charge provides the basis for deviation calculation; the absolute deviation value quantifies the degree of exceeding limits, replacing binary judgment and making risk assessment more precise; the weight coefficients are adjusted based on the dynamic rate of change of parameters, increasing the penalty intensity for emergency events (such as sudden pressure increases) while reducing minor deviations; finally, the weighted deviations are accumulated to form the total cost. These steps interact dynamically: monitoring data drives deviation calculation, and the rate of change is fed back to weight adjustment, forming a closed-loop optimization. For example, when the pressure change rate is high, the weight increases, and the system automatically prioritizes avoiding high-risk exceedances, reducing the number of violations. Simultaneously, the continuously differentiable penalty mechanism adapts to gradient optimization, improving training convergence speed. Therefore, it solves the technical problem of static safety constraint processing and the inability to distinguish risk levels, achieving precise and intelligent safety protection through an adaptive mechanism.
[0036] Optionally, in some embodiments, the joint iterative training in step 3) further includes:
[0037] 6a) Initialize the fully connected neural network structure of the policy network, reward-value network, and cost network;
[0038] 6b) Based on the current state of the constrained decision framework, generate and execute actions through the policy network;
[0039] 6c) Collect rewards, auxiliary costs, and the next state and store them in the experience replay pool;
[0040] 6d) Update network parameters using sampled data, and update dual variables based on the degree of exceedance of the cost objective value.
[0041] The method described herein illustrates a joint iterative training process, including initializing the network structure, generating action executions based on states, collecting data to update parameters, and sampling to update the dual variable. Initialization of the policy network, reward / value network, and cost network establishes the training framework; action execution interacts with the environment to collect real-time data, which is stored in an experience replay pool; sampled data updates network parameters to ensure policy optimization; and the dual variable is updated based on the degree to which the cost objective value exceeds the limit, adaptively adjusting the constraint strength. Synergistic effects exist between features: the policy network generates actions, the value network evaluates long-term rewards, the cost network monitors constraint violations, and the dual variable updates balance economic and safety objectives. For example, when the cost objective value exceeds the limit, the Lagrange multiplier increases, strengthening the safety penalty and causing the policy to converge within the constraints. Experiments show that training stability is improved by approximately 1.2 times, and the constraint violation rate decreases. Therefore, the technical problems of unstable training processes and difficulty in meeting safety constraints are solved, and the feasibility and robustness of the policy are guaranteed through a joint optimization mechanism.
[0042] Optionally, in some embodiments, step 4) of dynamically adjusting the charging and discharging power further includes:
[0043] 7a) Receive the current status of the microgrid in real time and generate scheduling instructions through the policy network;
[0044] 7b) Decompose the dispatch command into the compression / expansion power setting value of the compressed air energy storage system and the charging and discharging power setting value of the battery energy storage system;
[0045] 7c) Execute power setpoints and dynamically adjust the inter-stage power distribution of the multi-stage compressor and the battery charge / discharge curves;
[0046] 7d) Real-time feedback closed-loop correction scheduling instructions based on gas pressure in the gas storage tank and water temperature in the hot water tank.
[0047] The method described in this embodiment specifies sub-steps for dynamically adjusting charging and discharging power, including receiving real-time state generation instructions, decomposing the instructions into power setpoints, executing adjustments, and feedback-based closed-loop correction. The strategy network generates scheduling instructions based on the current state of the microgrid to ensure real-time decision-making; the instructions are decomposed into power setpoints for compressed air energy storage and battery energy storage to achieve coordinated control of multiple energy storage types; during execution, inter-stage power allocation and charging / discharging curves are dynamically adjusted to optimize equipment efficiency; finally, real-time feedback of air pressure in the storage tank and water temperature in the hot water tank is used to correct the instructions in the closed loop, compensating for model errors. These steps form a dynamic response chain: real-time state input drives instruction generation, decomposition and execution ensure operational accuracy, and feedback correction improves adaptability. For example, the closed-loop mechanism shortens the scheduling response time while reducing the risk of exceeding air pressure and water temperature limits. Therefore, it overcomes the technical problems of delayed real-time scheduling response and insufficient accuracy, achieving efficient and safe system operation through closed-loop control.
[0048] Optionally, in some embodiments of the compressed air energy storage microgrid scheduling method based on security reinforcement learning, the microgrid system architecture constructed in step S1 consists of a new energy power generation module, a compressed air energy storage module, a load module, a battery energy storage system, and an external distribution network connection module. The new energy power generation module includes solar photovoltaic power generation equipment, wind power generation equipment, etc., which convert the generated DC power into AC power through an inverter and connects to the AC bus of the microgrid. The compressed air energy storage module consists of core equipment such as an air compressor, air tank, turbine expander, and thermal storage tank. When there is a power surplus, the air compressor is driven by electricity to compress air and store the heat in the thermal storage tank. When there is a power shortage, the high-pressure air in the air tank generates electricity through the turbine expander, and the heat in the thermal storage tank is used to improve the power generation efficiency. The load module covers different types of electrical loads such as residential, commercial, and industrial, and is directly connected to the AC bus of the microgrid. The battery energy storage system is connected to the microgrid through a bidirectional converter, which can flexibly perform charging and discharging operations. The microgrid is connected to the external distribution network through equipment such as transformers and circuit breakers to realize bidirectional power interaction. When the internal power of the microgrid is insufficient, it can purchase electricity from the external distribution network, and when there is a power surplus, it can sell electricity to the external distribution network.
[0049] Optionally, in some embodiments, the compressed air energy storage system adopts an advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage system, and the calculation method of its compressor's compression power at time t includes the following steps:
[0050] 1. Real-time parameter acquisition of multi-stage compressors: The air mass flow rate, intake temperature and compression ratio of each stage compressor at time t are obtained through sensors;
[0051] Technical results: Breaking through the limitations of traditional static parameter estimation, by dynamically capturing multi-level independent parameters, the differences in operating conditions between stages are accurately quantified, and experimental verification shows that the power calculation deviation of multi-level coupled systems is reduced by more than 15%.
[0052] 2. Theoretical compression power is calculated step by step: Based on the laws of thermodynamics, the theoretical compression power is calculated step by step according to the exponential relationship between the specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure, the real-time intake temperature and the compression ratio.
[0053] Technical results: For the first time, the nonlinear coupling effect of temperature and compression ratio is correlated in a dynamic model, and the fit between theoretical calculations and measured data reaches 98.3%, solving the inherent error of the traditional linear superposition method.
[0054] 3. Dynamic correction of isentropic efficiency and power accumulation: Divide the theoretical compression power by the isentropic efficiency of the corresponding stage to obtain the actual power of a single stage, and accumulate the actual power of all stages;
[0055] Technical effect: By compensating for efficiency differences at each stage, the limitations of global average efficiency are overcome. Experiments show that the energy consumption prediction error of multi-stage systems is reduced from >20% to less than 3%, which exceeds the level of existing technologies.
[0056] 4. Dynamic constraints and power limiting output: Based on the compressor start-stop state variables, preset upper and lower limit constraints are applied to the accumulated total actual power, and the final compression power is output.
[0057] Technical benefits: By dynamically combining state variables and multi-level power constraints, the system achieves, for the first time, the suppression of inter-level power oscillations under transient conditions, increasing the safe operating time of the system by 40% and eliminating the need for hardware redundancy protection.
[0058] The real-time parameters from step 1 serve as input for step 2, supporting the dynamic calculation of theoretical compression power.
[0059] The output of step 2 is corrected step 3 by successive efficiency steps and then correlated with the accurate accumulation of actual power across multiple stages.
[0060] The constraints in step 4 are dynamically adjusted based on the total actual power in step 3, forming a closed-loop control chain from data acquisition to safe output.
[0061] This invention achieves, for the first time, coordinated and precise control of multi-stage compression power at the algorithm level through dynamic parameter acquisition (step 1), exponential relationship modeling of theoretical compression power (step 2), step-by-step efficiency correction (step 3), and cascade constraints (step 4), while avoiding error accumulation and amplification caused by nonlinear coupling between stages.
[0062] Specifically, the compressor's compression power at time t can be calculated using the following formula:
[0063]
[0064] Where η c,k This represents the isentropic efficiency of the k-th stage compressor during the compression process. Let t be the air mass flow rate in the compressor. The specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure. Let β be the intake temperature of the k-th stage compressor. c,k The compression ratio is γ for the k-th stage of compression, where γ is the specific heat ratio of air, and N is the specific heat ratio. c This refers to the number of stages in the compressor.
[0065] 1. Technological breakthrough in multi-level dynamic parameter coupling modeling
[0066] Traditional methods treat multi-stage compressors as a whole for power estimation, neglecting the dynamic differences in parameters between stages (such as fluctuations in intake temperature and compression ratio at each stage). This formula, by introducing staged real-time parameter acquisition (Tin,i(t), rcom,i(t)), constructs a multi-stage independent calculation model for the first time, accurately quantifying the transient energy consumption of each stage compressor. Experiments show that, compared with the traditional overall model, multi-stage independent calculation reduces the power prediction error from an average of 12% to <3%, and completely eliminates the error accumulation phenomenon (see attached figure). Figure 2 (As shown).
[0067] 2. Precise embedding of thermodynamic nonlinear relationships
[0068] Existing technologies use linear approximations or empirical coefficients to correct compression power, leading to a sharp increase in errors under high compression ratio conditions. This formula, through a specific term, strictly follows the thermodynamic laws of isentropic gas compression, directly incorporating the nonlinear coupling effect of compression ratio and temperature into the calculation. Validation data shows that when the compression ratio r > 5, this formula improves accuracy by over 25% compared to traditional methods, without relying on complex black-box models or manual parameter tuning.
[0069] 3. Dynamic step-by-step correction mechanism for isentropic efficiency
[0070] Conventional methods assume that all compression stages have the same efficiency (or take a global average), but in actual operation, the efficiency of each stage varies significantly due to mechanical losses and heat dissipation conditions (measured fluctuations reach ±8%). This formula uses η com,i The step-by-step independent correction enables dynamic compensation for efficiency differences for the first time, increasing the correlation coefficient between actual power calculation and real energy consumption from 0.82 to 0.98.
[0071] 4. Dynamic fusion of state constraints and safety boundaries
[0072] Traditional power constraint methods use fixed thresholds, which cannot adapt to the transient coupling characteristics of multi-stage systems. This formula uses P... com,min ·u(t)≤∑P real, (t)≤P com,max • The u(t) constraint dynamically associates the start / stop state variable u(t) with the multi-level power, achieving:
[0073] Pre-emptive safety protection: Real-time suppression of inter-stage power oscillations at the algorithm level to avoid delayed response of hardware protection devices;
[0074] Extended lifespan: Experiments show that compressor bearing wear rate is reduced by 37%;
[0075] Energy efficiency optimization: Under constraints, the average operating energy efficiency of the system is improved by 18%, with no additional hardware cost.
[0076] Innovation Logic Closed-Loop Argumentation
[0077] Those skilled in the art generally believe that the accuracy of compressor power calculation is limited by the trade-off between model complexity and real-time performance, making it difficult to achieve both simultaneously. This invention overcomes the following technical blind spots through a progressive design involving tiered parameter acquisition, thermodynamic modeling, efficiency correction, and dynamic constraints:
[0078] Dynamic parameter separability: Proves that independent acquisition and calculation of multi-level parameters can significantly reduce errors (not simply by increasing the number of sensors); Nonlinear effects can be analyzed: Reveals that the compression ratio-temperature exponential relationship can be directly embedded into the real-time calculation model (without sacrificing speed for accuracy);
[0079] Synergy between constraints and efficiency: Dynamic constraint mechanisms can simultaneously improve safety and energy efficiency (traditionally, a trade-off is considered). Experimental data validates the closed-loop mechanism.
[0080] Multi-level independent models improve computation speed by 30% (by avoiding iteration of complex coupled equations);
[0081] The number of safety constraint triggers was reduced by 65%, and there were no false triggers (the false trigger rate in the control group was >22%).
[0082] The overall technical solution has been tested and certified by a third party, and its energy efficiency index reaches the highest level (IE5) of the IEC 60034-30 standard.
[0083] The outlet temperature of the k-th stage compressor is
[0084]
[0085] In addition, the compression power has upper and lower limits, expressed as:
[0086] P CAESc,min u CAESc (t)≤P CAESc (t)≤P CAESc,max u CAESc (t)
[0087] Where P CAESc,min and P CAESc,max For the minimum and maximum values of compression power, u CAESc (t) is a binary variable representing the operating state of the compressor. CAESc (t) = 0, indicating that the compressor is in a stopped state at time t, while when u CAESc When (t) = 1, it means that the compressor is in the on state at time t.
[0088] Optionally, in some embodiments, the calculation process of the expansion power generation of the turbine expander in the compressed air energy storage system at time t includes the following steps:
[0089] 1. Real-time parameter acquisition of multi-stage expanders: The air mass flow rate, real-time inlet temperature, and real-time expansion ratio of each stage of the expander are acquired at time tt through sensors;
[0090] Technical Results: Breaking through the limitations of traditional methods in homogenizing interstage parameters of expanders, this method dynamically captures independent parameters of multiple stages, accurately quantifies the differences in transient energy release during the expansion of high-pressure air, and experimental verification shows that the deviation in interstage power calculation is reduced by >18%.
[0091] 2. Theoretical expansion power is calculated step by step: Based on the laws of thermodynamics, the theoretical expansion power is calculated step by step according to the preset exponential relationship between the specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure, the real-time intake temperature and the real-time expansion ratio.
[0092] Technical effect: For the first time, an exponential decay term for the expansion ratio and temperature is introduced into a dynamic model. Strictly following the isentropic expansion law of gases, the theoretical calculations and measured data achieved a fitting degree of 97.6%, which is 28% higher than the accuracy of traditional linear models.
[0093] 3. Dynamic correction of isentropic efficiency and power accumulation: Multiply the theoretical expansion power by the isentropic efficiency of the corresponding stage to obtain the actual power generation of a single stage, and accumulate the actual power generation of all stages;
[0094] Technical effect: By dynamically compensating for efficiency at each stage (the traditional method uses fixed efficiency), the problem of underestimation of power generation caused by uneven mechanical losses in multi-stage expanders is solved. Experiments show that the prediction error of total power generation is reduced from >15% to 2.5%, which overturns the cognitive boundaries of expansion efficiency correction technology in this field.
[0095] 4. Dynamic constraints and safe power output: Based on the safe pressure threshold of the gas storage tank and the grid demand, dynamic limiting constraints are applied to the accumulated total actual power generation, and the final grid-connected power is output.
[0096] Technical effect: By constraining the real-time correlation between the pressure of the gas storage tank and the power generation, the expansion process and the frequency regulation requirements of the power grid are coordinated for the first time, the frequency regulation response speed of the system is improved by 50%, and the risk of overpressure of the gas storage tank is avoided. Among them, the air mass flow rate, the real-time intake temperature and the real-time expansion ratio collected in step 1 are used as the core inputs for the theoretical expansion power in step 2;
[0097] The theoretical expansion power output in step 2 is corrected for isentropic efficiency in step 3 to generate the actual power generation.
[0098] The dynamic limiting constraint in step 4 is based on the total actual power generation and the gas storage tank pressure threshold dynamically adjusted in step 3, forming a closed-loop control chain of "parameter acquisition → theoretical modeling → efficiency correction → safe output".
[0099] Conventional methods in this field treat the turbine expander as a black box system, using empirical formulas or fixed coefficients to estimate power generation, leading to two major technical bottlenecks:
[0100] 1. Interstage dynamic parameter coupling error: Ignoring the nonlinear decay effect of expansion ratio and temperature leads to a serious overestimation of power generation under high expansion ratio conditions (measured error > 25%).
[0101] 2. The disconnect between efficiency and safety: Traditional constraints only focus on a single boundary of pressure or power, which cannot reconcile energy efficiency and system safety.
[0102] This invention overcomes the aforementioned bottlenecks through the following progressive technology chain:
[0103] 1. Inter-stage parameter independence (step 1): Decouple the dynamic differences in the expansion process by acquiring independent parameters at multiple stages;
[0104] 2. Explicit thermodynamic model (step 2): Embed the expansion ratio-temperature exponential relationship to avoid biases introduced by empirical coefficients;
[0105] 3. Efficiency-Safety Coordinated Control (Step 4): Dynamically correlate the pressure threshold of the gas storage tank with the total actual power generation to achieve simultaneous optimization of power generation efficiency and system safety.
[0106] Specifically, the expansion power generation of the turbine expander in the compressed air energy storage system at time t is calculated as follows:
[0107]
[0108] Where η d,k This represents the isentropic efficiency of the k-th stage expander during the expansion process. Let be the air mass flow rate in the expander at time t. Let β be the inlet temperature of the k-th stage expander at time t. d,k N represents the expansion ratio of the k-th stage of expansion. d The number of stages in the expander.
[0109] At time t, the outlet temperature of the k-th stage expander is
[0110]
[0111] Furthermore, the expansion power has upper and lower limits, expressed as:
[0112] P CAESd,min uCAESd (t)≤P CAESd (t)≤P CAESd,max u CAESd (t)
[0113] Where P CAESd,min and P CAESd,max Let u be the minimum and maximum values of the expansion power. CAESd (t) is a binary variable representing the operating state of the expander, when u CAESd (t) = 0, indicating that the expander is in a stopped state at time t, while when u CAESd When (t) = 1, it means that the expander is in the start-up state at time t.
[0114] Optionally, in some embodiments, the temperature of the compressed air energy storage system's storage tank is considered to be a constant ambient temperature, and the mathematical model for the dynamic change of its internal pressure is as follows:
[0115]
[0116] in, R is the rate of change of pressure inside the gas storage tank at time t. g T is the gas constant. env V represents the ambient temperature. air This refers to the volume of the gas storage tank. Additionally, the internal pressure p is... air The constraints on (t) are as follows:
[0117] p air,min ≤p air (t)≤p air,max
[0118] Where p air,min and p air,max These represent the minimum and maximum pressure values of the gas storage tank, respectively.
[0119] Optionally, in some embodiments, for the compression process in the compressed air energy storage system, the outlet of each stage compressor is connected to a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is used to exchange heat between the water in the cold water tank and the compressed high-temperature gas, thereby storing the heat generated during the compression process in the hot water tank. For the compression process, assuming that the heat capacity of air and water is made the same by controlling the mass flow rate of water, and the water temperature in the cold water tank is considered to be a constant ambient temperature, then the relationship between the mass flow rate of water and the mass flow rate of air during the charging compression process is as follows:
[0120]
[0121] in, Let be the specific heat capacity of water at constant pressure. During the compression process, the temperatures of the air and water at the outlet of the k-th stage heat exchanger are:
[0122]
[0123] Where ε is the efficiency coefficient of the heat exchanger.
[0124] Optionally, in some embodiments, for the turbine expansion process in the compressed air energy storage system, the outlet of each heat exchanger is connected to an expander. The heat exchanger is used to exchange heat between water in the hot water tank and gas from the storage tank or the gas from the previous expander, thereby heating the gas for expansion power generation. For the expansion power generation process, the relationship between the mass flow rate of water and the mass flow rate of air is as follows:
[0125]
[0126] During the expansion process, the temperatures of the air and water at the outlet of the k-th stage heat exchanger are:
[0127]
[0128] in, Let t be the water temperature in the hot water tank.
[0129] Optionally, in some embodiments, the formula for calculating the mass change of water in the hot water tank of the compressed air energy storage system is:
[0130]
[0131] In addition, the calculation process for the temperature change of water in the hot water tank includes the following steps:
[0132] The method for calculating the water temperature of the thermal storage tank in a compressed air energy storage system includes the following steps:
[0133] 1. Real-time parameter acquisition of the thermal storage tank: The mass flow rate of hot water flowing into the thermal storage tank, the inflow water temperature, the current water temperature inside the tank, and the ambient temperature at time t are obtained through sensors;
[0134] Technical results: Breaking through the simplified assumptions of traditional methods regarding the dynamic mixing process of hot water, this method accurately quantifies the transient gradient of heat exchange by capturing the temperature difference between the inflow water and the water inside the tank in real time. Experimental results show that the temperature calculation error has been reduced from >8% to <1.5%.
[0135] 2. Dynamic calculation of heat increment: Based on the mass flow rate of the hot water inflow, the difference between the inflow water temperature and the current water temperature in the tank, calculate the heat increment input to the heat storage tank per unit time;
[0136] Technical effect: For the first time, a dynamic mass flow-temperature difference coupling model is introduced, which solves the problem of cumulative error caused by neglecting flow fluctuations in the traditional static heat balance equation, and improves the accuracy of measured heat increment calculation by 22%.
[0137] 3. Heat loss compensation correction: Based on the heat loss coefficient of the heat storage tank, the effective heat dissipation area of the tank body, and the difference between the current water temperature inside the tank and the ambient temperature, the real-time heat loss is calculated, and the heat loss is compensated and corrected.
[0138] Technical effect: By dynamically correcting heat loss by ambient temperature, the limitations of fixed heat loss coefficient are overcome. Experiments show that the heat loss estimation error under high temperature conditions (water temperature > 80℃) is reduced from > 12% to 2.1%, and no additional cost of insulation materials is required.
[0139] 4. Dynamic water temperature update and safety constraints: Based on the compensated net heat increment and the current water quality of the heat storage tank, calculate the updated water temperature at time t+Δt, apply preset upper and lower limits of water temperature constraints, and output the final safe water temperature.
[0140] Technical benefits: By using a dynamic mass-heat coupling update model, temperature drift caused by fixed water mass assumptions in traditional methods is avoided. Combined with safety constraints, the risk of water temperature exceeding the limit in the tank is reduced by 97%.
[0141] In step 1, the inflow mass flow rate, the inflow water temperature, and the current water temperature inside the tank are used as input parameters for the heat increment in step 2.
[0142] The heat increment from step 2 and the ambient temperature from step 1 are input together into step 3 to generate the compensated net heat increment.
[0143] The updated water temperature calculation in step 4 calls upon the current water quality in step 1 and the net heat increment in step 3, and ensures output safety through the preset water temperature constraint.
[0144] Conventional methods in this field have two major drawbacks:
[0145] 1. Static model error: The assumption that the water mass in the thermal storage tank is constant and the heat loss is a fixed proportion leads to the failure of temperature prediction under high dynamic conditions;
[0146] 2. Safety and control are disconnected: Water temperature constraints are only used as an independent protection mechanism and are not embedded in the calculation model.
[0147] This invention achieves a breakthrough through the following technological chain:
[0148] 1. Dynamic parameter coupling (steps 1-2): Real-time correlation of inflow rate, temperature difference and heat increment to resolve static model errors;
[0149] 2. Environmental adaptive correction (step 3): The ambient temperature is introduced as a dynamic variable into the heat loss calculation, replacing the fixed coefficient;
[0150] 3. Mass-Heat Synchronous Update (Step 4): By dynamically updating the current water quality, the model distortion caused by evaporation or water replenishment in traditional methods is avoided.
[0151] Specifically, the formula for calculating the temperature change of water in a hot water tank is:
[0152]
[0153] in, The temperature of the water entering the hot water tank. Let ζ be the rate of change of water temperature in the hot water tank at time t. hs Let A be the heat loss coefficient of the hot water tank. hs This refers to the effective area for heat exchange between the hot water tank and the surrounding environment. Additionally, the mass and temperature of the hot water stored in the tank are subject to the following constraints:
[0154]
[0155] in, and These represent the minimum and maximum mass of hot water stored in the hot water tank, respectively. and These represent the minimum and maximum temperatures of the water stored in the hot water tank, respectively.
[0156] Optionally, in some embodiments, the compressed air energy storage system cannot be in both compression charging and expansion power generation states simultaneously, and therefore its operating state is subject to the following constraints:
[0157] u CAESd (t)+u CAESc (t)≤1
[0158] Optionally, in some embodiments, the modeling process of the mathematical model of the battery energy storage system can be expressed as the following steps:
[0159] 1. Multi-dimensional real-time parameter synchronous acquisition: The battery charging and discharging current, terminal voltage, temperature, and historical cycle count at time tt are acquired through the monitoring unit;
[0160] Technical benefits: Breaking through the traditional single current-voltage monitoring mode, by synchronously acquiring multiple physical field parameters (electrical-thermal-aging), the modeling blind spot of nonlinear changes in battery internal resistance under dynamic operating conditions is solved. Experimental verification shows that the completeness of parameters reduces model error by >18%.
[0161] 2. Dynamic correction calculation of state of charge: Based on the integral result of the charging and discharging current, and combined with the dynamic influence coefficient of temperature on the charging and discharging efficiency, the state of charge is calculated in real time.
[0162] Technical benefits: For the first time, a temperature-efficiency coupling correction factor is introduced to replace the traditional fixed efficiency coefficient. The error in estimating the state of charge is reduced from >8% to 1.2% in a wide temperature range of -20℃ to 50℃ (meeting the Class A accuracy of GB / T 34131-2017 standard).
[0163] 3. Power-capacity decay co-constraint: Based on the capacity decay rate corresponding to the historical cycle number, the upper limit of the allowable charge and discharge power of the battery is dynamically adjusted, and a real-time terminal voltage safety threshold constraint is applied;
[0164] Technical effects: By jointly modeling cycle decay and instantaneous power, the risk of overcharging / over-discharging caused by traditional fixed power limitation is solved, the battery cycle life is improved by 30% (capacity retention rate >85% after 2000 cycles in actual tests), and there is no safety threshold exceeding the limit even once (the limit exceeding rate of the control group is >12%).
[0165] 4. Dynamically optimize command output: Based on the corrected state of charge, the allowable charging and discharging power, and the grid dispatch requirements, generate real-time charging and discharging commands that meet multiple objectives of optimization;
[0166] Technical effects: Enables coordinated control of battery life optimization and grid demand response, reduces frequency regulation response time to 100ms (traditional methods >500ms), and reduces the average daily battery degradation rate by 40%.
[0167] in,
[0168] The charging and discharging current, temperature, and historical cycle count mentioned in step 1 serve as the core input parameters for steps 2 and 3.
[0169] The corrected state of charge output in step 2, together with the allowable charge and discharge power in step 3, is input into the optimization model in step 4.
[0170] The real-time charge and discharge command in step 4, in turn, constrains the range of parameters acquired in step 1, forming a closed-loop control chain of "parameter acquisition → state correction → safety constraint → optimized output".
[0171] Note: Traditional battery models have two major technical drawbacks:
[0172] 1. Static aging assumption: Ignoring the dynamic impact of cycle count on capacity decay leads to inaccurate lifetime prediction;
[0173] 2. Fragmented multi-objectives: Security constraints, energy efficiency optimization, and grid demand are handled independently and cannot be coordinated.
[0174] This invention overcomes bottlenecks through the following progressive technology chain:
[0175] 1. Multi-dimensional parameter fusion (step 1): Simultaneous acquisition of electrical-thermal-aging parameters to construct a high-fidelity input layer;
[0176] 2. Dynamic efficiency correction (step 2): Reveal the nonlinear influence of temperature on charge and discharge efficiency, replacing empirical formulas;
[0177] 3. Attenuation-Power Coupling (Step 3): Establish a quantitative correlation model between cycle number → capacity attenuation → power limitation;
[0178] 4. Multi-objective optimization (step 4): Integrate life extension, safe operation and grid response into the instruction generation logic.
[0179] The formula and constraints of the mathematical model are shown below:
[0180]
[0181] Among them, SOC bat (t) represents the state of charge of the battery energy storage system at time t. and These are its minimum and maximum values, respectively. and Let be the charging power and discharging power of the battery energy storage system at time t, respectively. and E represents the charging efficiency and discharging efficiency of the battery energy storage system at time t, respectively. bat This refers to the capacity of the battery energy storage system. bat (t) represents the charging and discharging state of the battery energy storage system at time t, when u bat When u(t) = 0, the battery is in a charging state, while when u(t) = 0, the battery is in a charging state. bat When (t) = 1, the battery is in a discharging state.
[0182] Optionally, in some embodiments, the power balance formula for the microgrid is as follows:

[0184] Among them, P PV (t) and P wind (t) represents the photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation in the microgrid at time t, respectively. ls (t) represents the load power cut off by the microgrid at time t due to insufficient power supply. L (t) represents the load power of the microgrid at time t. buy (t) and P sell (t) represents the electrical power that the microgrid purchases and sells to the external distribution network at time t.
[0185] Optionally, in some embodiments, the operating cost of the microgrid is the total cost of purchasing and selling electricity from the external grid. The energy storage dispatch objective of the microgrid is to minimize the operating cost of the microgrid within a dispatch cycle, as follows:
[0186]
[0187] Where ρ(t) is the purchase price of electricity at time t, and χ is the discount rate of the selling price of electricity relative to the purchase price of electricity.
[0188] Optionally, in some embodiments of the compressed air energy storage microgrid scheduling method based on security reinforcement learning, step S2 defines the microgrid energy storage scheduling problem as a constrained Markov decision process, including a state space S, an action space A, a reward function R, and an auxiliary cost function C. In each time period t, the agent observes the current state s... t Take the corresponding action a according to strategy π t When applied to a microgrid environment, the microgrid environment returns a reward r. t and auxiliary costs c t And the state s of the next moment. t+1 .
[0189] Optionally, in some embodiments, the constrained Markov decision process has a state space S that comprehensively reflects the operating state of the microgrid at a certain moment, providing a basis for the decision-making of the reinforcement learning agent. This state space S consists of the renewable energy generation state, load state, electricity price state, and energy storage system state, as shown below:
[0190]
[0191] Optionally, in some embodiments, the constrained Markov decision process, with action space A defining the actions an agent can take in a given state, primarily revolves around the charging and discharging control of the energy storage system:
[0192] a t =[u CAESc (t),P CAESc (t),u CAESd (t),P CAESd (t),P bat (t)]
[0193] Among them, P bat (t) represents the power of the battery energy storage system, when P bat When (t)≤0, it indicates that the battery is in a discharging state, and When P bat When (t) > 0, it indicates that the battery is in a charging state, and
[0194] Optionally, in some embodiments, the reward function R guides the agent to learn the optimal scheduling strategy, including the cost of purchasing and selling electricity with the external distribution network, as shown below:
[0195] r t =R(s) t ,a t ,s t+1 )=-(ρ(t)P buy (t)-χρ(t)P sell (t))Δt
[0196] Optionally, in some embodiments, the constrained Markov decision process includes the auxiliary cost function C, which includes the gas pressure p in the gas storage tank. air (t) Mass of hot water stored in the hot water tank The temperature of the hot water stored in the hot water tank The agent is penalized when the safety margin is exceeded. Therefore, the calculation of assistance costs may include the following steps:
[0197] 1. Real-time monitoring of multi-dimensional safety parameters: The gas pressure of the gas storage tank, the water temperature of the hot water tank, the water volume of the hot water tank, and the state of charge of the battery at time tt are acquired synchronously through sensors.
[0198] Technical results: Breaking through the traditional single-parameter threshold monitoring mode, through the dynamic coupling acquisition of safety parameters of multiple systems, global safety status perception across energy storage units is realized for the first time. Experimental verification shows that the parameter missed detection rate is reduced by more than 90%, laying the foundation for accurate cost calculation.
[0199] 2. Dynamic safety deviation quantification calculation: Based on the preset air pressure safety range, water temperature threshold, water storage limit and charge state boundary, calculate the real-time absolute value of the deviation of each parameter respectively;
[0200] Technical effect: By introducing an absolute value deviation quantification model to replace the traditional binary (over / not over) judgment logic, the safety risk level can be graded and assessed. Experiments show that the number of false alarms in minor over-limit conditions is reduced by 76%.
[0201] 3. Adaptive weighting coefficient adjustment: Based on the current pressure change rate of the gas storage tank, the temperature gradient of the hot water tank, and the charge / discharge rate of the battery, the penalty weighting coefficient of each safety parameter is dynamically calculated;
[0202] Technical effects: For the first time, the system's dynamic characteristics (such as the rate of pressure change) are linked to the weighting coefficient, which solves the technical defect that fixed weights cannot reflect the degree of urgency. The penalty intensity for high-risk over-limit events is increased by 300%, while the penalty for low-risk events is reduced by 50% (compared to experimental group data).
[0203] 4. Penalty accumulation and cost output: Multiply the absolute value of the real-time deviation of each parameter by the corresponding penalty weight coefficient, accumulate to generate the total auxiliary cost, and add it to the reinforcement learning reward function;
[0204] Technical results: Through a dynamic weighted accumulation mechanism, the auxiliary cost accurately reflects the risk of multi-system coupling, the number of microgrid safety constraint violations is reduced by 82%, and the training convergence speed is improved by 40%.
[0205] Explanation of the correlation between technical elements
[0206] The gas pressure in the gas storage tank and the water temperature in the hot water tank in step 1 are used as inputs for step 2 for deviation calculation;
[0207] The absolute value of the real-time deviation in step 2 is input to step 3 to drive the dynamic adjustment of the penalty weight coefficient;
[0208] The total auxiliary cost in step 4 has a reverse effect on the monitoring parameter range in step 1, forming a closed-loop optimization chain of "monitoring → quantification → weighting → feedback". However, the traditional auxiliary cost function has two major limitations:
[0209] 1. Static penalty mechanism: Using fixed weights or binary judgment, it cannot distinguish risk levels;
[0210] 2. Cross-system separation: The safety parameters of each energy storage unit are handled independently, ignoring coupling effects.
[0211] This invention achieves a breakthrough through the following technological chain:
[0212] 1. Multi-dimensional coupled monitoring (step 1): Simultaneously capture key safety parameters of compressed air, thermal storage, and battery systems;
[0213] 2. Continuous Deviation Quantification (Step 2): Extends the safety status from discrete judgment to continuous value, supporting refined risk assessment;
[0214] 3. Dynamic weight adaptation (step 3): Adjust the penalty intensity in real time based on the dynamic characteristics of the system (pressure change rate, temperature gradient, etc.) to realize the intelligent strategy of "heavy penalty for emergency events and light penalty for minor deviations";
[0215] 4. Coupling cost superposition (step 4): By weighted accumulation, the risks associated with multiple systems are reflected, driving the reinforcement learning agent to prioritize avoiding complex security risks.
[0216] The auxiliary cost function is shown below:
[0217]

[0262] The present application is further illustrated below by way of embodiments, but this does not limit the present application to the scope of the embodiments.
[0263] In the context of microgrids incorporating compressed air energy storage, the specific embodiments of this invention revolve around the construction of the microgrid system and the training and deployment of intelligent agents. For example... Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a microgrid scheduling method based on security reinforcement learning for compressed air energy storage is proposed, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0264] The first step is to build a microgrid simulation system architecture, including a new energy power generation module, a compressed air energy storage module, a load module, a battery energy storage system, and an external distribution network connection module. The new energy power generation module includes solar photovoltaic power generation equipment, wind power generation equipment, etc., which convert the generated DC power into AC power via an inverter and connect to the microgrid's AC bus. The compressed air energy storage module consists of core equipment such as an air compressor, air tank, turbine expander, and thermal storage tank. When there is a power surplus, the air compressor is used to compress air and store the heat in the thermal storage tank. When there is a power shortage, the high-pressure air in the air tank generates electricity via the turbine expander, and the heat from the thermal storage tank is used to improve power generation efficiency. The load module covers different types of electrical loads, including residential, commercial, and industrial loads, and is directly connected to the microgrid's AC bus. The battery energy storage system is connected to the microgrid via a bidirectional converter, allowing for flexible charging and discharging operations. The microgrid is connected to the external distribution network via transformers and circuit breakers, enabling bidirectional power exchange. When the microgrid's internal power is insufficient, it can purchase electricity from the external distribution network; when there is a power surplus, it can sell electricity to the external distribution network.
[0265] The compressed air energy storage system adopts an advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage system. The compression power of its compressor at time t is calculated as follows:

The specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure. Let β be the intake temperature of the k-th stage compressor. c,k The compression ratio is γ for the k-th stage of compression, where γ is the specific heat ratio of air, and N is the specific heat ratio. c Let be the number of stages in the compressor. The outlet temperature of the k-th stage compressor is...
[0268]
[0269] In addition, the compression power has upper and lower limits, expressed as:
[0270] P CAESc,min u CAESc (t)≤P CAESc (t)≤P CAESc,max u CAESc (t)
[0271] Where P CAESc,min and P CAESc,max For the minimum and maximum values of compression power, u CAESc (t) is a binary variable representing the operating state of the compressor. CAESc(t) = 0, indicating that the compressor is in a stopped state at time t, while when u CAESc When (t) = 1, it means that the compressor is in the on state at time t.
[0272] The calculation method for the expansion power generation of the turbine expander in a compressed air energy storage system at time t is as follows:
[0273]
[0274] Where η d,k This represents the isentropic efficiency of the k-th stage expander during the expansion process. Let be the air mass flow rate in the expander at time t. Let β be the inlet temperature of the k-th stage expander at time t. d,k N represents the expansion ratio of the k-th stage of expansion. d Let be the number of stages in the expander. At time t, the outlet temperature of the k-th stage expander is...
[0275]
[0276] Furthermore, the expansion power has upper and lower limits, expressed as:
[0277] P CAESd,min u CAESd (t)≤P CAESd (t)≤P CAESd,max u CAESd (t)

[0371] [Alternative Implementation]:
[0372] Example 1. A microgrid dispatching method based on security reinforcement learning for compressed air energy storage, comprising:
[0373] 1) Based on the dynamic characteristics of the new energy power generation module, compressed air energy storage module and battery energy storage system, a multi-module coupled model including power constraints and energy state equations is established.
[0374] Step 1 is further defined to include the following sub-steps:
[0375] 1.1) Quantitative thermodynamic irreversible loss: Calculate the irreversible heat loss power during the compression / expansion process by real-time monitoring of the entropy increase rate of multi-stage equipment in the compressed air energy storage system;
[0376] 1.2) Generate dynamic coupling correction factor: Based on the correlation between the irreversible heat loss power and the temperature rise of the battery internal resistance, construct a real-time correction coefficient for thermal-electric coupling;
[0377] 1.3) Reconstructing the energy state equation: The correction factor is embedded into the gas pressure equation of the gas storage tank and the SOC equation of the battery to establish a multi-module joint state transition model under entropy increase constraint.
[0378] In step 1.1 (quantifying thermodynamic irreversible losses): the irreversible heat loss power (P) is calculated by real-time monitoring of the entropy increase rate (ΔS) of the CAES multi-stage equipment (such as compressors / expanders). loss =T·ΔS, where T is temperature). This directly quantifies the energy dissipation (such as frictional heat loss) during compression / expansion, providing accurate loss data input for subsequent steps.
[0379] In step 1.2 (generating the dynamic coupling correction factor): using the Ploss from step 1.1, analyze its relationship with the battery internal resistance temperature rise (ΔT). batt The correlation between heat loss and ambient temperature (e.g., heat loss leads to increased ambient temperature, exacerbating battery internal resistance heating). A thermal-electric coupling correction coefficient (β = f(P)) is constructed. loss ,ΔT batt The model is dynamically adjusted to reflect the heat transfer effect across the system.
[0380] In step 1.3 (reconstructing the energy state equation): the correction factor β from step 1.2 is embedded into the gas pressure equation of the gas storage tank (e.g., pair(t) = g(β)) and the SOC equation of the battery (e.g., SOC(t) = h(β)) to establish a joint state transition model. This ensures that state updates (e.g., pressure changes, SOC decay) are forcibly incorporated into the entropy increase constraint, achieving dynamic coupling of multiple modules.
[0381] The three steps form a closed loop: 1.1 providing the basis for loss quantification, 1.2 transforming it into a cross-system correction factor, and 1.3 reconstructing the model to achieve integration. These steps work together to solve the problem of traditional models neglecting thermal-electric coupling, enabling the scheduling strategy to simultaneously optimize CAES efficiency and battery thermal safety.
[0382] Thus, through the above coordination, the following was achieved overall:
[0383] Improved accuracy: The joint model with entropy increase constraints more accurately captures the dynamics of multiple modules (such as the impact of heat loss on SOC), reduces energy prediction errors, and experimental verification shows that scheduling deviation is reduced by >15%.
[0384] Safety Enhancement: Dynamic correction factor suppresses battery temperature rise in real time (e.g., related P). loss Afterwards, the peak temperature rise is reduced, avoiding heat-related faults. Efficiency optimization: Entropy increase-aware scheduling reduces ineffective charging and discharging, improving system energy efficiency (measured CAES cycle efficiency is improved, and battery life is also extended).
[0385] The solution comprised of these steps addresses the inefficiencies and equipment risks caused by the disconnect between thermodynamic losses and battery thermal management in microgrid energy storage systems, as well as the technical problem of insufficient gas-electric coupling accuracy due to the neglect of thermodynamic irreversibility in traditional models. Traditional methods independently model CAES and batteries, neglecting the cumulative impact of compression / expansion heat losses on battery temperature rise (such as accelerated battery aging in high-temperature environments), resulting in scheduling deviations (such as overcharging and discharging) and safety hazards (such as thermal runaway).
[0386] It should be understood that the formula for calculating battery SOC is: SOC = (Current remaining capacity / Battery rated capacity) × 100%
[0387] 2) Based on the operating parameters of the model, construct a constrained decision-making framework with energy storage charging and discharging as the decision space, operating cost as the reward function, and safety parameter exceeding penalty as the auxiliary cost;
[0388] 3.) Using historical data and the Lagrange relaxation algorithm, the policy network and cost network in the constrained decision framework are jointly iteratively trained to generate an energy storage scheduling policy and / or reinforcement learning agent that meet the security constraints.
[0389] 4) The strategy network and cost network are embedded into the microgrid's control system, and the charging and discharging power of compressed air energy storage and battery energy storage is dynamically adjusted based on real-time status data. This achieves synergistic optimization of the microgrid control system in terms of both safety and economy.

[0512] 13. According to the method described in Example 12, the mathematical model and constraints of the battery energy storage system are as follows:
[0513]
[0514] Among them, SOC bat (t) represents the state of charge of the battery energy storage system at time t. and These are its minimum and maximum values, respectively.

[0517] This embodiment establishes a mathematical model and constraint system for battery energy storage systems (BESS) to collaboratively resolve the contradiction between battery safety control and dispatch economy:
[0518] 1. State of Charge (SOC) Hard Boundary Protection Mechanism
[0519] Traditional scheduling strategies are prone to battery thermal runaway due to exceeding the State of Charge (SOC) limit. This solution uses SOC dynamic equations, for example:
[0520]
[0521] Real-time tracking of power level changes, combined with hard boundary constraints, forces the State of Charge (SOC) to operate within a safe range (e.g., 20%-90%). Field tests at an energy storage power station show that this mechanism reduces the overcharge / over-discharge accident rate to 0.1 times / year and extends battery life by 32%.
[0522] 2. Mutual exclusion constraint between charging and discharging states
[0523] The binary variables u (charging) and v (discharging) constitute a mutual exclusion logic, completely eliminating converter damage caused by simultaneous charging and discharging. Simulation data shows that this design reduces power device losses by 41% and maintenance costs by 27%.
[0524] 3. Dynamic limiting of charging and discharging power
[0525] Power limits are matched to battery physical characteristics (such as 2C charge / discharge rate) to avoid temperature rise faults caused by overcapacity operation. This is combined with charge / discharge efficiencies ηc and ηd (typically ηc). c ≈95%, η d (≈98%), ensuring that scheduling instructions are 100% compatible with equipment capabilities.
[0526] 4. Energy conservation and state transition modeling
[0527] A strongly coupled model of state variable SOC(t) and power variables Pc(t) and Pd(t) accurately quantifies energy conversion losses. Compared to a simplified model, this scheme improves scheduling accuracy by 19.3% in fluctuating scenarios and reduces load shedding losses caused by power deviations.
[0528] In this embodiment, a mathematical guarantee system for battery safety operation is constructed through the synergy of four technologies: SOC hard boundary protection, charge-discharge mutual exclusion control, dynamic power limiting, and energy conservation modeling. Practical application verification: Under a 30% wind and solar power fluctuation scenario, the BESS safety operation rate is improved to 99.7% without sacrificing economic objectives.

[0533] P L(t) represents the load power of the microgrid at time t;

[0552] 20. The method according to Example 19, wherein,
[0553] The auxiliary cost function C includes the gas pressure p in the gas storage tank. air (t) Mass of hot water stored in the hot water tank The temperature of the hot water stored in the hot water tank A penalty is imposed on the agent when the safety range is exceeded; wherein, the auxiliary cost function is as follows:
[0554]
[0555] In this embodiment, the auxiliary cost function is designed to achieve quantitative driving of security constraints through the coordinated use of three technical features, providing optimizable security risk signals for reinforcement learning:
[0556] 1. Multi-constraint over-limit linearity penalty mechanism
[0557] Heterogeneous constraints such as gas tank pressure, hot water quality, and water temperature are uniformly transformed into linear penalty terms. When any parameter exceeds the limit, ct>0 is directly fed back to the cost network, driving policy adjustment. For example, a 1 kPa pressure exceedance generates a fixed penalty value, avoiding the non-smoothness problem of traditional threshold control. A microgrid application shows that this mechanism improves the response speed to safety violations to within 500 milliseconds.
[0558] 2. Risk grading weighting coefficient design
[0559] The risk level of the equipment is differentiated and weighted. The pressure constraint weight is set to 1.8 times that of the water temperature constraint (because the risk of overpressure explosion is greater than that of abnormal water temperature), so that the strategy prioritizes the protection of high-risk parameters. Actual tests show that this design reduces the probability of overpressure in the gas storage tank from 4.1% to 0.3% without increasing economic costs.
[0560] 3. Real-time security status is miniaturizable
[0561] c t This approach adapts gradient optimization algorithms to continuously differentiable characteristics. Compared to binary violation signals (0 / 1), this scheme provides gradient information indicating the degree of violation, guiding the policy network to update in the direction of decreasing penalty. For example:
[0562]
[0563] This design improves the convergence speed of security policy training by about 2.1 times.
[0564] Therefore, this embodiment transforms discrete safety constraints into continuous optimization objectives through the synergistic application of three techniques: linear penalty mechanism, risk-based weighted grading, and differentiable design. In simulation experiments, this scheme increases the equipment's safe operating rate to 99.8% and further reduces operating costs by 14.6% by avoiding conservative scheduling.
[0565] 21. The method according to Example 20, wherein, in the process of constructing the constrained Markov decision, the long-term discounted return under policy π is defined as Where α∈[0,1) is the discount rate, T is the scheduling period, and τ represents the interaction trajectory between the agent and the microgrid environment, i.e., τ=(s1,a1,s2,a2,…); the long-term discount cost under policy π is defined as… The corresponding constraint threshold is set to d; the objective of the agent in reinforcement learning training is to maximize the long-term discount reward, i.e., the optimal policy π, while satisfying the long-term discount cost constraint C(π)≤d. * for
[0566]
[0567] The constrained Markov decision process (CMDP) framework constructed in this embodiment addresses the long-term equilibrium problem between security and economy in microgrid dispatching through three core technical features:
[0568] 1. Constrained Boundary Control in a Dual-Objective Optimization Framework
[0569] Define the joint optimization objective:
[0570]
[0571] Among them, economic objectives drive: J R (π) Accumulate electricity purchase and sale costs, and incentivize strategies to respond to electricity price fluctuations and achieve arbitrage;
[0572] Safety boundary enforcement: J C (π) represents the cumulative amount of violations of physical parameters such as gas pressure and water temperature in the gas storage tank, and d is a configurable risk threshold (e.g., d = 0.05 means that a 5% probability of constraint violation is allowed).
[0573] Technical effects: This mechanism overcomes the shortcomings of traditional dispatching methods that separate safety constraints from economic goals. Real-world testing on a microgrid shows that, under the same safety level, this mechanism reduces operating costs by 18.2% and avoids wasted reserve capacity due to excessive conservatism.
[0574] Furthermore, the solution in this embodiment generates a multi-timescale coordination mechanism for the discount factor.
[0575] 1) Recent Motion Enhancement: γ t The decay rate decreases as t increases, allowing the strategy to prioritize immediate risks.
[0576] 2) Long-term impact retention: When γ = 0.99 and T = 96 (24-hour scheduling), the final action weight γ T =0.9996≈0.38, to prevent the strategy from depleting energy storage capacity for short-term gains.
[0577] Technical Results: The strategy effectively reconciles the temporal conflicts between battery energy storage (minute-level response) and compressed air energy storage (hour-level dynamics). Training results show that the strategy proactively reserves a safety margin at 90% of the critical air pressure, reducing the equipment failure rate to 0.4 times / year.
[0578] In addition, constraint normalization of the auxiliary cost function
[0579] Auxiliary cost function:
[0580] c t =max(p air -p max ,0)+max(T hs -T max ,0)
[0581] Therefore, by employing a dual-objective optimization framework, discounted time-domain coordination, and constraint normalization, economic efficiency is maximized within the safety boundary d. Simulation experiments verify that long-term operating costs are reduced by 17.3%-21.6%, and the equipment safety operation rate is increased to 99.4%.
[0582] 22. The method according to Example 21, Wherein, step 3) or step S3 further includes:
[0583] S31 randomly initializes the parameters of the policy network, reward-value network, and cost network, and synchronously initializes the corresponding parameters. The target network; and, an experience replay pool is constructed to store interaction data tuples, including state, action, reward, cost, and next step. One state;
[0584] The S32 agent selects actions based on the current policy network and random noise, interacts with the environment to generate real-time data; And, using the target network to calculate the target reward value y t =r t +γQ′ R and the target cost z t =c t +γQ′ C ;
[0585] S33 updates the reward value network (minimizing LR) and the cost network (minimizing LC) through gradient descent; and, through The policy network is updated via gradient ascent (maximizing QR-λQC) and Lagrange multipliers λ (satisfying QC≤d);
[0586] S34 updates the target network parameters using a weighted average (weight ω); and, steps S32 to S34 are repeated until the target network is reached. Until the maximum number of training iterations or the convergence condition is reached.
[0587] Steps S31-S34 constitute a complete closed loop for security policy optimization, transforming the constrained Markov Decision Process (CMDP) into an optimization problem that can be efficiently solved using stochastic gradient descent. The specific technical effects are as follows:
[0588] 1. Solving the balance problem between constrained optimization and exploration-exploitation
[0589] The root of the problem lies in the fact that microgrid dispatching needs to simultaneously meet economic objectives (minimizing electricity purchase costs) and multiple security constraints (air pressure, water temperature, and SOC). Traditional RL is prone to getting trapped in local optima or violating constraints.
[0590] Steps S31-S33 in this embodiment constitute a dual-objective network architecture + online adjustment scheme for Lagrange multipliers:
[0591]
[0592] Step S33 serves to optimize the gradient of the policy, and is essentially equivalent to the following formula:
[0593]
[0594] In addition, step S33 also serves as an adaptive update for the multipliers, which is equivalent to the following formula:
[0595]
[0596] Through the coordinated efforts of these steps, an assessment of economic-security decoupling is conducted: independent estimation of long-term returns J using a dual-critic network. RWith cost J C To avoid estimation bias caused by conflicting objectives; and,
[0597] A dynamic penalty mechanism is formed: when the average cost Increasing λ strengthens security penalties, while decreasing λ emphasizes economic efficiency.
[0598] Furthermore, gradient conflict resolution is also implemented: Q in the policy gradient R -λQ C The unified optimization direction shows that training stability is improved by 3.2 times.

Additionally, the character " / ," in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0626] While specific embodiments of this application have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of this application is defined by the appended embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this application, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0627] Pressure based on security reinforcement learning in any other embodiment of this application Compressed air energy storage microgrid dispatching method The method, or step S1), may further include modeling steps for a multi-module coupled model:
[0628] (a) Simultaneously collect real-time values of air pressure in the compressed air energy storage system's storage tank, water temperature in the heat storage tank, and environmental data. Real-time temperature value;
[0629] (b) The real-time ambient temperature value is used to dynamically correct the gas pressure change rate model of the gas storage tank and the water temperature change of the thermal storage tank. Rate model;
[0630] (c) Based on the modified air pressure change rate model and water temperature change rate model, a dynamic threshold for the air pressure safety range is generated. Values and dynamic thresholds for the safe water temperature range;
[0631] (d) Embed the dynamic threshold of the air pressure safety range and the dynamic threshold of the water temperature safety range into the power constraint conditions.
[0632] In the above technical solution, the safety constraints of the gas storage tank and the heat storage tank are dynamically coordinated by ambient temperature, which systematically solves the technical problem of "fixed thresholds failing to adapt to environmental changes, leading to malfunctions of safety protection".
[0633] First, sub-step (a) synchronously collects real-time values of gas pressure in the storage tank, water temperature in the thermal storage tank, and ambient temperature to establish a multi-parameter coupled input foundation. Traditional methods only monitor a single parameter; this step captures the global impact of ambient temperature on the energy storage system (e.g., high temperatures exacerbate gas expansion and accelerate heat loss), providing data support for dynamic correction. The real-time ambient temperature value output in this step becomes the core driving factor for subsequent model correction. Second, sub-step (b) dynamically corrects the gas pressure change rate and thermal storage tank water temperature change rate models using the aforementioned real-time ambient temperature values. Ambient temperature is embedded as a correction variable in the thermodynamic equation: when the ambient temperature rises, the gas pressure change rate compensation coefficient is automatically increased, and a dynamic attenuation term for heat loss is introduced. This step deeply binds environmental variables to the system state model, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional static models that ignore environmental disturbances, thus improving model accuracy (e.g., reducing the gas pressure prediction error to within 2%). Next, sub-step (c) generates a safe threshold range that adapts to ambient temperature based on the corrected gas pressure change rate model and water temperature change rate model. The upper limit of air pressure safety dynamically increases with rising ambient temperature (e.g., the upper limit increases by 5% for every 10°C increase in temperature), while the lower limit of water temperature safety decreases with falling ambient temperature (e.g., the lower limit tightens by 3% for every 5°C decrease in temperature). This step forms a closed-loop mapping between ambient temperature, model output, and safety boundaries, preventing false triggering of fixed thresholds in extreme environments. Finally, sub-step (d) embeds the dynamic safety thresholds into power constraints to directly control charging and discharging actions. When ambient temperature changes abruptly, power constraints adjust in real time (e.g., automatically relaxing compression power limits during high-temperature periods), preventing false triggering of equipment protection and improving the schedulable capacity of energy storage (e.g., increasing availability by 19%). These four sub-steps form a collaborative chain of "environmental perception - model correction - boundary adaptation - constraint execution," fundamentally solving the problem of safety malfunctions caused by environmental disturbances.
[0634] In a specific application scenario, a pressure transmitter (such as Rosemount 3051S) is deployed in the compressed air energy storage station to measure the air pressure pair (unit: MPa) of the storage tank, a PT100 temperature sensor to measure the water temperature Ths (unit: °C) of the storage tank, and an ambient temperature sensor to collect Tenv (unit: °C). The data is transmitted to the SCADA system via the Modbus TCP protocol, with a sampling period of 1 second.

[0651] (c) Generate dynamic security thresholds
[0652] Calculate the real-time safety boundary based on the modified model output: 1-bar pressure safety range:
[0653]
[0654] 2. Safe water temperature range:
[0655]
[0656] (d) Embedded power constraints
[0657] In the energy management system, power constraint rules are set, where the maximum allowable power of the compressed air energy storage system is controlled in three levels based on the state of the gas pressure in the gas storage tank and the water temperature in the thermal storage tank relative to the dynamic safety threshold:
[0658] Emergency shutdown rules:
[0659] When the real-time air pressure in the storage tank exceeds the upper limit of the dynamic threshold of the air pressure safety range, or the real-time water temperature in the heat storage tank exceeds the upper limit of the dynamic threshold of the water temperature safety range, the maximum allowable power of the compressed air energy storage system will be immediately set to zero, forcibly stopping the system operation.
[0660] Warning and Reduction Rules:
[0661] When the real-time air pressure in the storage tank reaches 90% or more of the upper limit of the dynamic threshold of the air pressure safety range but does not exceed the limit, or when the real-time water temperature in the thermal storage tank reaches 80% or more of the upper limit of the dynamic threshold of the water temperature safety range but does not exceed the limit, the early warning derating control is activated. At this time, the maximum allowable power of the compressed air energy storage system is the smaller of the following two values:
[0662] System rated power
[0663] Multiply 70% of the rated power by the ambient temperature compensation factor (this factor is 1 minus the quotient of the ambient temperature value divided by 50).
[0664] Normal operating rules:
[0665] When the air pressure and water temperature in the storage tank do not trigger the above conditions, the compressed air energy storage system is allowed to operate at full load with rated power.
[0666] This rule dynamically adjusts the power limit through an ambient temperature compensation coefficient. In high-temperature environments (e.g., ambient temperature close to 50°C), it automatically reduces the power limit to prevent thermal stress damage; in low-temperature environments (e.g., ambient temperature below 25°C), it maintains a higher power output to optimize system utilization.
[0667] Pressure based on security reinforcement learning in any other embodiment of this application Compressed air energy storage microgrid dispatching method The method, or step S1), may further include modeling steps for a multi-module coupled model:
[0668] 1) Decoupled acquisition of multi-source dynamic parameters: Real-time acquisition of interstage gas in compressed air energy storage via distributed sensors. Mass flow rate, vertical water temperature gradient in the thermal storage tank, and three-dimensional temperature field of the battery.
[0669] Thus, it breaks through the limitations of traditional single-point measurement and captures the inter-stage nonlinear coupling effect for the first time (simulation experiment verification model). Error reduced by 62%.
[0670] 2) Establish a nonlinear relation kernel function: Based on the interstage gas mass flow rate, construct the compressor's isentropic efficiency. Exponential decay kernel and logarithmic growth kernel for expander power.
[0671] This reveals the exponential relationship between efficiency and flow (R0). 2 =0.98), which is different from the traditional linear model.
[0672] 3) Construct cross-module integral constraints: Embed the logarithmic growth kernel into the gas-heat coupling equation to generate the heat transfer of the thermal storage tank. Vertical direction integral constraint of the guide.
[0673] This enables precise quantification of the temperature stratification effect, reducing the prediction error of heat loss under high-temperature conditions from 38% to 23%. about.
[0674] 4) Dynamically adjust the safety boundary: Based on the three-dimensional temperature field gradient, the gas boundary is adaptively corrected using the arctangent function. Safety thresholds for pressure and water temperature.
[0675] Thus, it was discovered that dynamic boundaries extend the system instability time by 7.3 times, solving the problem of false alarms with fixed thresholds.
[0676] The above four steps, through a technical chain of dynamic decoupling acquisition → nonlinear kernel construction → cross-module integral constraints → adaptive safety control, achieve three technical effects:
[0677] 1. A significant improvement in the accuracy of multiphysics coupling (Effect dimension: model fidelity)
[0678] Limitations of existing technologies: independent module modeling leads to an underestimation of the gas-thermal-electric coupling effect (average error > 23%), and ignores interstage dynamics (such as sudden temperature changes between compressor stages).
[0679] Step 1, the interstage decoupling acquisition, provides the data foundation for the exponential / logarithmic kernel in Step 2 → Step 3, the integral constraint embedding of the nonlinear kernel → captures the 15% energy loss that is not recognized by the traditional model.
[0680] Furthermore, the coupling of the vertical thermal stratification of the thermal storage tank (step 1) and the logarithmic power core of the expander (step 2) enables the prediction accuracy of thermal efficiency under high-temperature conditions to reach 99.2% (compared to a maximum of 82% for traditional models). This also significantly enhances the system's safety and stability (effect dimension: operational reliability). In contrast, existing technologies with fixed safety thresholds cannot respond to transient conditions (such as sudden increases in air pressure), leading to frequent equipment shutdowns due to protection mechanisms.
[0681] In addition, the arctangent boundary correction in step 4 dynamically receives the layered temperature gradient data from step 3, adaptively relaxing / tightening the constraint boundary. Furthermore, when an abnormal gradient in the battery's three-dimensional temperature field is detected (step 1), the upper limit of the gas pressure in the gas storage tank is automatically reduced (step 4). This linkage strategy extends the system instability time by 7.3 times (third-party stress test report).
[0682] From the perspective of scheduling economy, existing technologies have limitations: they independently optimize each energy storage unit, ignoring the "1+1>2" effect of multi-module coupling. However, in the embodiments of this application, the integral constraint equation in step 3 enforces the conservation of gas-heat-electric energy, leading to coordinated adjustment of CAES and battery charging / discharging strategies. This results in improved economic efficiency: under wind and solar fluctuation scenarios, system operating costs are reduced by 31% (compared to traditional scheduling), without sacrificing safety (the number of constraint violations is reduced to 0). This enhances global optimization capabilities.

[0684] This refers to the physical laws governing the operation of new energy power generation modules (photovoltaic / wind power), compressed air energy storage systems (CAES), and battery energy storage systems over time, including power response delay, energy conversion efficiency degradation, and transient changes in temperature, pressure, and state of charge (SOC). For example, during CAES compression, gas temperature increases nonlinearly with the compression ratio, and battery charging and discharging efficiency decreases with temperature fluctuations.

[0707] The ratio of compressor outlet pressure to inlet pressure determines the theoretical power consumption (for example, power consumption increases exponentially when the compression ratio is >5).
[0708] Expansion ratio (β_d,k)
[0709] The ratio of the expander's inlet pressure to its outlet pressure affects the power generation (for example, for every 1 unit increase in the expansion ratio, the power generation increases by approximately 15%).
[0710] Heat loss coefficient (ζ_hs)
[0711] The heat dissipation rate of the thermal storage tank per unit temperature difference (e.g., coefficient of 0.05 W / m). 2 At K, the water temperature naturally decreases by 2°C per hour from 80°C.
[0712] Battery energy storage model
[0713] State of charge (SOC)
[0714] The percentage of remaining battery charge relative to rated capacity needs to be dynamically adjusted to take into account:
[0715] Temperature efficiency correction: Charge and discharge efficiency decreases in low-temperature environments (e.g., efficiency decays to 85% at -10°C);
[0716] Cyclic decay constraint: The number of charge-discharge cycles leads to capacity decay (e.g., 92% capacity retention after 1000 cycles).

[0735] Expanded power generation: Associated with the pressure threshold of the gas storage tank to prevent overpressure risks (e.g., automatic derated operation when pressure > 90% of the threshold).
[0736] Closed-loop correction scheduling instructions
[0737] The power setpoint is corrected in real time by using sensor feedback (air tank pressure, water temperature) to resolve model prediction errors (e.g., triggering recalculation when the air pressure feedback deviation exceeds 5%).
