Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system optimization and dispatching technology. It relates to a carbon economy optimization and dispatching method and system for a coupled thermal power and molten salt thermal storage system. Background Technology
[0002] Upgrading thermal power plants to improve their flexibility and enable them to adjust rapidly under varying loads is a crucial means of promoting renewable energy integration and participating in deep peak shaving of the power grid. However, on the one hand, the high penetration rate of renewable energy places increasingly higher demands on the flexibility of thermal power plants, making it difficult for them to simultaneously achieve a wide peak shaving range and low coal consumption and emissions under rapidly changing load conditions. On the other hand, carbon economic optimization scheduling models are still incomplete, failing to address the overall carbon economic quantification and assessment of the coordinated operation of upgraded thermal power units and renewable energy units, as well as the impact of optimized scheduling schemes. To further explore the low-carbon coordinated operation capabilities of thermal power plants under different flexibility upgrade schemes, researching the carbon economic optimization scheduling of rapidly changing load thermal power plants coupled with molten salt thermal energy storage systems is of practical significance.
[0003] Upgrading thermal power plants to improve their flexibility is fundamental to achieving rapid and deep peak and frequency regulation across the power system. Exploring more effective flexibility upgrades and accurately describing the physical characteristics and mathematical models of the upgraded thermal power units are crucial for system operation under conditions of high renewable energy penetration. In scenarios where upgraded thermal power units operate in conjunction with renewable energy sources, quantifying and evaluating the carbon economy of thermal power units and strengthening their planning and deployment in the carbon trading market are important pathways to achieving energy conservation, emission reduction, and dual-carbon goals.
[0004] Currently, flexible retrofitting schemes for thermal power plants mainly focus on three aspects: stable combustion under low load, rapid start-up and shutdown, and rapid ramp-up. Rapid start-up and shutdown, and rapid ramp-up, can adjust thermal power output in real time, but increase unit lifespan and additional coal consumption emissions. For stable combustion under low load, thermal power plant thermal storage retrofitting is widely used. Retrofitting with molten salt thermal storage can effectively improve the peak-shaving depth of the unit, while simultaneously achieving rapid load changes on the power output side. However, due to limitations in energy storage capacity, it is difficult to achieve rapid load changes over a wide range. Furthermore, research on carbon economics mainly focuses on carbon trading mechanisms and low-carbon economic dispatching in thermal power plants or multi-energy industrial parks. Studies show that the introduction of carbon economics can effectively balance the environmental and economic aspects of integrated energy system dispatching. However, research on the carbon economics of coupled systems combining rapidly load-changing thermal power units with molten salt thermal storage retrofitting is limited. This invention addresses this need. Summary of the Invention

This system combines rapidly changing thermal power with molten salt thermal energy storage to form a coupled system, thereby solving the problems of unit and carbon loss and economy, and further improving the flexibility retrofit performance. The invention also studies the carbon economy quantification and evaluation method based on the flexible retrofit thermal power coupled system, and derives an optimized scheduling strategy for the coupled system of thermal power and molten salt thermal energy storage.
[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this invention is as follows:

[0008] The variable load thermal power and molten salt thermal storage are combined to form a coupled system, and the system is modified to establish an operation model for the variable load thermal power and molten salt thermal storage coupled system.
[0009] The dynamic carbon emission trading cost of the quantitative operation model in each period is linearized by linearizing the nonlinear peak-shaving correction coefficient in the carbon emission quota and establishing a quantitative model of the carbon emission trading cost of thermal power.
[0010] Based on the established cost quantification model for trading carbon emission rights of thermal power, and with the goal of maximizing daily comprehensive operating revenue, a carbon economic optimization scheduling model for a variable load thermal power and molten salt thermal storage coupled system is established.
[0011] Solve the carbon economy model of the thermal power and molten salt thermal storage coupled system under variable load to obtain the day-ahead optimal dispatch scheme and optimal operating benefits of thermal power.
[0012] In the preferred technical solution, the variable load thermal power and molten salt thermal storage are combined to form a coupled system, and the modifications include:
[0013] The molten salt thermal energy storage system consists of storage tanks, heat exchangers, pumps, and piping systems. The storage tanks store high-temperature molten salt, the heat exchangers transfer heat to the working fluid, and the pumps and piping systems circulate the molten salt. In actual operation, the storage tanks are divided into high-temperature and low-temperature dual-circulation tanks. The high-temperature storage tank is located between the boiler and the high-pressure tank of the steam turbine, while the low-temperature storage tank is located between the steam turbine's working cylinder and the boiler. The charging process occurs during periods of low load or excess power generation in the thermal power unit. The high-temperature and low-temperature storage tanks absorb excess heat power from the boiler and steam turbine's working cylinder, transferring it to the molten salt through the heat exchangers and storing it in the storage tanks, thus reducing the minimum or excess output of the thermal power plant. The heat release process occurs during peak load periods or when renewable energy output is insufficient. The storage tanks release the stored heat energy. The high-temperature storage tank increases the steam intake of the steam turbine, while the low-temperature storage tank heats liquid water to form high-temperature feedwater that enters the boiler, increasing the thermal power output. Without adjustment, change its external power output. .

[0081] The carbon economic optimization scheduling model construction module establishes a carbon economic optimization scheduling model for a variable load thermal power and molten salt thermal storage coupled system based on the established thermal power carbon emission rights trading cost quantification model and with the goal of maximizing daily comprehensive operating benefits.
[0082] The optimization scheduling module solves the carbon economy model of the thermal power and molten salt thermal storage coupled system with variable load, and obtains the day-ahead optimized scheduling scheme and optimal operating benefits of thermal power.
[0083] The following example illustrates the workflow of a carbon economy optimization scheduling system for a coupled thermal power and molten salt thermal energy storage system, including the following steps:
[0084] S1. Establish an operation model for a coupled thermal power and molten salt thermal storage system with rapid load changes;
[0085] The molten salt thermal energy storage system consists of storage tanks, heat exchangers, pumps, and piping systems. The storage tanks store high-temperature molten salt; the heat exchangers transfer heat to the working fluid (such as water or steam); and the pumps and piping systems circulate the molten salt. In actual operation, the storage tanks are divided into high-temperature and low-temperature dual-circulation storage tanks. The high-temperature storage tank is located between the boiler and the high-pressure tank of the steam turbine, while the low-temperature storage tank is located between the steam turbine's working cylinder and the boiler. The heat charging process occurs during periods of low load or excess power generation in the thermal power unit. The high-temperature and low-temperature storage tanks absorb excess heat power from the boiler and the steam turbine's working cylinder, transferring it to the molten salt through the heat exchangers and storing it in the storage tanks, thus reducing the minimum or excess output of the thermal power plant. The heat release process occurs during peak load periods or when renewable energy output is insufficient. The storage tanks release the stored heat energy; the high-temperature storage tank increases the steam intake of the steam turbine, while the low-temperature storage tank heats liquid water to form high-temperature feedwater that enters the boiler, increasing the thermal power output. This achieves the goal of maximizing thermal power output. Without adjustment, change its external power output. .
[0086] To further reduce coal consumption and carbon emissions, when thermal power plants need to adjust loads to meet fluctuating demand, the output is first regulated by molten salt thermal storage. The operating model of the coupled system at this time is shown in the following equation:
[0087]
[0088] In the formula, T For time intervals; / 、 / These represent the power stored / released by the high-temperature and low-temperature thermal storage systems during time period t, respectively. This represents the heat power transferred from the steam turbine to the generator during time interval t; , These represent the heat storage capacity of the high-temperature and low-temperature thermal storage systems at time t, respectively. or H , or L These are the heat loss rates of high-temperature and low-temperature thermal storage systems, respectively. or HC / or HD , or LC / or LD These refer to the thermal efficiency stored / released by high-temperature and low-temperature thermal storage systems, respectively. or coal For coal combustion thermal efficiency; for The amount of coal consumed at any given time; The calorific value of pulverized coal combustion; or ST This refers to the thermoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0089] Molten salt thermal storage systems include capacity constraints and operational constraints, as shown below:
[0090] (1) Capacity constraints of high and low temperature thermal storage systems

[0092] In the formula, , Let represent the minimum and maximum heat storage capacities of the high-temperature system at the time scale t, respectively. , and represent the minimum and maximum thermal storage capacity of the cryogenic system at the time scale t, respectively.
[0093] (2) Operational constraints of high and low temperature thermal storage systems
[0094]
[0095] In the formula, 、 and 、 These are 0-1 variables representing whether the high and low thermal storage systems are storing / releasing thermal energy. If the system is in operation, the value is 1; otherwise, the value is 0. i HD and i LD The maximum heat transfer coefficient of high and low temperature thermal storage systems; and These represent the maximum heat release power of the high- and low-temperature thermal storage systems, respectively.
[0096] To improve peak-shaving capacity, when the molten salt thermal storage capacity or charge / discharge efficiency does not meet real-time load demands, the primary objective is to mitigate wind and solar power fluctuations in real time, requiring rapid load adjustments at the thermal power boiler side. Under this operating condition, the coupled system must meet the thermal power plant's stepped ramp rate constraint under rapid load changes, as shown in the following equation:
[0097]
[0098] In the formula, a This represents the range of the load factor. b This represents the range where the maximum load factor is located. c This represents the range where the minimum load factor is located. Let be the load factor of the thermal power unit at time t. and These represent the upper and lower limits of the load factor of thermal power units on the time scale t; m a , m b and m c These are the lower limit benchmarks of the peak-shaving range where the load rate of thermal power units is located on the time scale t; This represents the lower limit of the x-th output range; r a This represents the upper limit of the ramp rate corresponding to the load factor; r b This represents the upper limit of the ramp rate corresponding to the maximum load rate; r c This represents the upper limit of the ramp rate corresponding to the minimum load rate; r x This represents the upper limit of the ramp rate for the x-th power output interval.
[0099] S2. Quantify the dynamic carbon emission trading costs for each period, linearize the nonlinear peak-shaving correction coefficient in the carbon emission quota, and establish a quantitative model for the carbon emission trading costs of thermal power plants.
[0100] According to the national carbon emission trading scheme, the difference between actual carbon emissions and quotas is quantified, and the difference is invested in the carbon emission trading market to obtain the carbon emission trading cost. The carbon economics assessment of the coupled system is then incorporated into the economic scheduling model.
[0101] In thermal power units, their overall carbon economics can be measured by calculating their carbon emission trading costs. The carbon emission trading costs of thermal power units. As shown in the following formula:
[0102]
[0103] In the formula, T Indicates the total scheduling period. For carbon prices in the carbon emissions trading market, The carbon emissions of a thermal power unit at time t are given by the following formula:
[0104]
[0105] In the formula, The carbon emission factor for standard coal equivalent of thermal power is taken as 2.67 tC. / tce; This represents the standard coal consumption generated at a time scale of t.
[0106] The carbon emission allowance for thermal power units at time scale t is calculated using the following formula:
[0107]
[0108] In the formula, d The prescribed baseline value for carbon emissions from thermal power plants; For the current thermal combustion output of thermal power units, The load factor of the thermal power unit at the time scale t; m C The load factor benchmark needs to be adjusted for peak shaving; , These are the correction coefficients corresponding to different benchmark intervals;
[0109] when > At this time, the carbon emissions of thermal power units exceed their quotas, and they need to purchase the carbon emission difference from the carbon emission trading market; when < At this time, the carbon emissions of thermal power units are below the quota, and the remaining amount can be traded in the carbon emission trading market to obtain additional profits.
[0110] Due to the peak-shaving correction coefficient of thermal power units The values differ under different load rates. Referring to the allocation scheme, the values are as follows:
[0111]
[0112] In the formula, This refers to the thermal output load rate of a thermal power unit after undergoing molten salt thermal storage retrofit.
[0113] From this formula, we can see that... When the unit load rate is within the range of 30%-65%, the peak-shaving correction factor It exhibits nonlinearity, therefore it needs to be linearized.
[0114] Substitute into this interval Taking the value and simplifying, we get:
[0115]
[0116] In the formula, This is the upper limit of the output of thermal power units.
[0117] To improve the solution efficiency of the carbon economic optimization scheduling model for variable load thermal power and molten salt thermal storage coupled systems, a direct linear fit is performed on the above equation. Taking a conventional coal-fired power unit with a rated capacity of 600 MW as an example, when the load rate is within the range of 30%-65%, the linear fitting function of the carbon emission baseline value and its deviation are obtained as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the goodness of fit of the linear fitting function is 0.9125, which meets the linearization requirements of the optimization model. Therefore, it can be substituted into the carbon economy optimization scheduling model of the variable load thermal power and molten salt thermal storage coupled system.
[0118] S3. Incorporate carbon emission trading costs into the carbon economic optimization scheduling model of thermal power and molten salt thermal energy storage coupled systems under variable load, and establish a carbon economic optimization scheduling model for thermal power and molten salt thermal energy storage coupled systems under variable load with the goal of maximizing daily comprehensive operating benefits.

[0124] (1) The comprehensive electricity sales revenue of thermal power units can be expressed as: The sum is in the form of a sum. When the generating capacity of the unit exceeds the compensation benchmark, only the basic revenue remains from electricity sales. , can be represented as:
[0125]
[0126] In the formula, C The electricity price is based on a unit of electricity generation, and thermal power units can obtain this revenue regardless of their power generation status.
[0127] When the generating capacity of the unit is less than the compensation benchmark, the revenue from the sale of electricity by the thermal power unit is divided by the basic revenue. In addition, it also includes compensation revenue from participating in peak-shaving ancillary services. , It can be represented as:

[0131] In the formula, This represents the maximum electrical output of the thermal power unit. C 1 and C 2 represents the unit electricity sales price based on different compensation benchmarks. If the generating capacity of the unit is less than the corresponding compensation benchmark, it can obtain this additional income.

[0132] (2) Operating costs of thermal power units Two scenarios were considered for thermal power plants: regular peak regulation (RPR) and deep peak regulation (DPR). In the regular peak regulation scenario, operating costs only considered the coal consumption for power generation; in the deep peak regulation scenario, operating costs included not only the coal consumption for power generation but also the additional losses incurred by the thermal power units due to reduced output.

[0138] In the formula, , These represent the costs required for a thermal power unit to provide upward and downward flexibility reserves to the system at time t. Since the unit's rapid load ramp-up rate is divided into multiple stages, the corresponding flexibility reserves have different costs at different output stages.
[0139] (4) Pollution emission costs of thermal power units as follows:
