TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field related to electrical engineering, and more particularly, to a rapid analysis method for energy storage capacity credit evaluation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Energy storage is widely considered as a key solution to alleviate the volatility of renewable energy and improve system reliability, but its capacity credit is affected by various factors, including its own power, storage capacity, efficiency, and internal characteristics, as well as the penetration of renewable energy, load fluctuation, and flexibility of thermal power units. The existing energy storage capacity credit evaluation method has many limitations: excluding unit commitment constraints, assuming that energy storage scheduling is not limited, ignoring the operation restrictions caused by unit commitment; only emphasizing daily cycle operation, ignoring longer-term operation modes such as weekly or seasonal cycles; ignoring long-term volatility of renewable energy, such as seasonal fluctuations in wind speed or hydropower availability. These limitations make it difficult for existing methods to accurately and efficiently evaluate the capacity credit of energy storage, and cannot meet the needs of high renewable energy penetration power system planning and operation. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present application provides a rapid analysis method for energy storage capacity credit evaluation, aiming to solve the problems of complex calculation of energy storage capacity credit evaluation under high renewable energy penetration, ignoring unit commitment constraints and long-term renewable energy volatility, thereby providing an efficient and accurate energy storage capacity credit evaluation tool for renewable energy dominated power systems, supporting system planning and investment decision-making.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present application, a rapid analysis method for energy storage capacity credit evaluation is provided, and the specific content is as follows:

[0005] Consider the scenario generation of multi-year weather conditions, mainly including generating multi-year operation scenarios based on weather and system data, extracting features related to reliability from each scenario to evaluate energy storage performance, and applying a hierarchical clustering method.

[0006] The comprehensive scenario is generated by sampling the hourly wind / solar power generation, thermal power unit availability, and actual load curve of each year. For renewable energy output, the capacity factor (CF) model is used to calculate the hourly wind / solar power for modeling:

[0007]

[0008]

[0009] wherein, are the available wind and photovoltaic power at time t, respectively; and t are the available wind and photovoltaic power at time t, respectively; and The corresponding capacity factor is derived from historical wind speed and solar radiation data; This refers to the rated power of the wind and solar turbine units.

[0010] For thermal power unit availability, Sequential Monte Carlo Simulation (SMCS) is used to generate a sequence of "operation-failure" states for the unit, with the state durations following an exponential distribution:

[0011]

[0012]

[0013] in, These represent the duration of operation and the duration of the fault, respectively. It is a uniform random variable; These are the failure rate and the repair rate, respectively.

[0014] Randomly sample renewable energy output, unit availability, and load demand to generate an annual operating scenario of 8760 hours.

[0015] Selection of features for energy storage capacity credit assessment. Maximum unsupplied power (MPNS) and maximum unsupplied power (MENS) are selected. MPNS represents the most severe instantaneous power shortage in a given scenario. Its calculation method is as follows:

[0016]

[0017]

[0018] in, Represents the total available power generation, including thermal power generation. and renewable energy generation renewable energy generation T represents a given time period. MENS quantifies the cumulative energy shortage under the worst-case scenario within a given time period, reflecting the long-term impact of power shortages. It is defined as:

[0019]

[0020] in This represents a predefined key time window, while It is the time step.

[0021] Scene reduction algorithm. K-means clustering is used in the MPNS-MENS feature space for each scene. This is represented in a two-dimensional feature space, defined by its corresponding MPNS and MENS values:

[0022]

[0023] Where N is the total number of generated scenes. The N scene sets are divided into K clusters using the K-means clustering algorithm. Within each cluster, a representative scene is selected according to a weighted scheme. :

[0024]

[0025] in It is a hierarchy The number of scenarios in It is the assigned weight. It is the closest centroid of the selected level. A representative scenario.

[0026] An ENS assessment model based on Fast Unit Combination (FUC) is used. The assessment of unsupplied power (ENS) is achieved by solving a power balance optimization problem, comprehensively considering the volatility of renewable energy, the dynamic characteristics of energy storage systems, and the adjustment flexibility of thermal power units. The system load reduction is calculated based on available generation capacity and energy storage dispatch, while the unsupplied power constraint can be obtained by accumulating the load reduction.

[0027]

[0028] in This represents load reduction.

[0029] The objective function of the optimization model is to minimize the total system cost, which includes the fuel cost of thermal power generation. Start-up costs and no-load cost as well as energy storage investment and operating costs There is also a load reduction penalty. Its formula is:

[0030]

[0031] The thermal power unit output model adopts the FUC model, which effectively captures ramp limits, start-up / shutdown dynamics, and minimum continuous operation / outage time. The corresponding constraints are:

[0039] Energy Storage Output Model. The Energy Storage System (ESS) model reflects actual charging / discharging behavior, energy balance, and system-level constraints. Charging and discharging power are limited by rated capacity.

[0040]

[0041] The net power output of an ESS is defined as follows:

[0042]

[0043] SOC is limited by maximum storage capacity:

[0044]

[0045] The dynamic changes in SOC are controlled by the following energy balance equation, which incorporates charging / discharging efficiency and self-discharge loss:

[0046]

[0047] To ensure operational feasibility during the planning period, constraints must be imposed on the initial and final SOCs:

SOC is determined by... This indicates that it is subject to the maximum energy capacity. The limitations, and its evolution according to an energy balance equation, which includes charging efficiency Discharge efficiency and self-discharge rate In order to complete the entire planning cycle T To maintain feasibility, both the initial and terminal SOCs are fixed within the specified range. .

[0050] Power balance constraints and renewable energy output constraints. The system-wide power balance equations ensure that power generation, energy storage dispatch, and load adjustment meet supply and demand balance:

[0052]

[0053] in It is time t Load factor at time, This is the peak load of the current scenario. yes t Total load demand at any given time.

[0054] The output of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) is limited by their installed capacity and time-varying capacity factor:

[0055]

[0056]

[0057] in and These represent the capacity factors for solar and wind power units, respectively, to ensure that the renewable energy generation curves match the actual situation.

[0058] Non-iterative ELCC evaluation model. Reliability constraints are explicitly incorporated into a single optimization model, eliminating the need for iteration. Adding an outer layer results in a two-layer optimization framework; the outer layer's optimization objective is to maximize the additional load. ELCC is defined as the maximum additional load that a system can support while ensuring that the expected power shortage (EENS) remains within the reliability target range. :

[0059]

[0060] Where M is a large weighting coefficient used to prioritize maximization .

[0061] The inner layer is based on the power balance constraint EENS assessment, which evaluates EENS by solving a power balance optimization problem that incorporates the volatility of renewable energy, energy storage dispatch, and the flexibility of thermal power units.

[0062] Replace the non-power supply constraint with:

[0063]

[0064] Total load demand in power balance constraints The calculation formula is replaced with: Other constraints remain unchanged;

[0065] Inner layer optimization ensures solutions under different operating conditions When load shedding occurs, system reliability is maintained.

[0066] The problem is reformulated as a single-layer optimization problem. Maximizing the ELCC (Elastic Compute Control) function is directly embedded into the objective function, thus reformulating the two-layer optimization framework into a single-layer optimization problem. A reward item is included. ,Will The maximization of M is integrated into the cost minimization objective, where M is a large weighting coefficient that prioritizes load increase while ensuring that reliability constraints are met.

[0067] The reformulated single-layer optimization problem is expressed as:

[0068]

[0069] This formulaic approach ensures that the optimization process minimizes system costs while maximizing system capacity. While maintaining the reliability constraints imposed by EENS limits, it facilitates higher levels of additional load. .

[0070] Scenario-based ELCC estimation with probability weights. The non-iterative ELCC model is extended to a scenario-based model, and the ELCC is calculated for each representative scenario. The final ELCC value of the entire system is obtained by probability-weighted summation:

[0071]

[0072] in Representative scenarios s The probability weights ensure that the uncertainty of changes in power generation and demand is accurately reflected.

[0106] in It is a hierarchy The number of scenarios in It is the assigned weight. It is the closest centroid of the selected level. A representative scenario.

[0107] Step 2: ENS Assessment Model Based on Fast Unit Combination (FUC). The assessment of unsupplied power (ENS) is achieved by solving a power balance optimization problem, comprehensively considering the volatility of renewable energy, the dynamic characteristics of energy storage systems, and the adjustment flexibility of thermal power units. The system load reduction is calculated based on available generation capacity and energy storage dispatch, while the unsupplied power constraint can be obtained by accumulating the load reduction.

[0108]

[0110] Step 2.1: The objective function of the optimization model is to minimize the total system cost, which includes the fuel cost of thermal power generation. Start-up costs and no-load cost as well as energy storage investment and operating costs There is also a load reduction penalty. Its formula is:

[0117]

[0118]

[0119] in The available capacity limits due to forced shutdowns are defined. Additional constraints are not listed here.

[0120] Step 2.3: Energy Storage Output Model. The Energy Storage System (ESS) model reflects actual charging / discharging behavior, energy balance, and system-level constraints. Charging and discharging power are limited by rated capacity.

[0121]

[0122] The net power output of an ESS is defined as follows:

[0123]

[0124] SOC is limited by maximum storage capacity:

[0125]

[0126] The dynamic changes in SOC are controlled by the following energy balance equation, which incorporates charging / discharging efficiency and self-discharge loss:

[0127]

[0138] in and These represent the capacity factors for solar and wind power units, respectively, to ensure that the renewable energy generation curves match the actual situation.

[0139] Step 3: Non-iterative ELCC evaluation model. Reliability constraints are explicitly incorporated into a single optimization model, eliminating the need for iteration.

[0140] Step 3.1: Add an outer layer to obtain a two-layer optimization framework. The optimization objective of the outer layer is to maximize the additional load. ELCC is defined as the maximum additional load that a system can support while ensuring that the expected power shortage (EENS) remains within the reliability target range. :

[0141]

[0143] Step 3.2: The inner layer is based on the power balance constraint EENS evaluation. The EENS is evaluated by solving the power balance optimization problem, which incorporates the volatility of renewable energy, energy storage dispatch and the flexibility of thermal power units.

[0144] The EENS constraint replaces the non-power supply constraint with:

[0145]

[0146] Total load demand in power balance constraints The calculation formula is replaced with: Other constraints remain unchanged; inner-layer optimization ensures solutions under different operating conditions. When load shedding occurs, system reliability is maintained.

[0147] Step 3.3: Restate as a single-layer optimization problem. Maximize the ELCC directly into the objective function, reformulating the two-layer optimization framework as a single-layer optimization problem. Include the reward item. ,Will The maximization of M is integrated into the cost minimization objective, where M is a large weighting coefficient that prioritizes load increase while ensuring that reliability constraints are met.

[0151] Step 3.4: Scenario-based ELCC estimation with probability weights. The non-iterative ELCC model is extended to a scenario-based model, and the ELCC is calculated for each representative scenario. The final ELCC value for the entire system is obtained by probability-weighted summation:

[0152]

[0153] in Representative scenarios s The probability weights ensure that the uncertainty of changes in power generation and demand is accurately reflected.

[0154] Example 1

[0155] This example analyzes a Chinese provincial power system using 2025 electricity demand and installed capacity data. The system comprises 50 dispatchable thermal power units, divided into three groups based on capacity: 13 units with a rated capacity of 1000MW, 19 units with a rated capacity of 600-1000MW, and 18 units with a rated capacity of 300-600MW. The system also includes 15GW of photovoltaic power, 17GW of wind power, 16.56GW of hydropower, and 1.55GW of energy storage, interconnected with adjacent provincial and regional power systems via 20.5GW of transmission lines. The system aims to meet a peak load of 51GW and an annual electricity consumption of 262TWh.

[0156] To quantify the computational efficiency of the proposed non-iterative ELCC method, benchmark simulations were conducted using energy storage with a duration of 2 hours and a renewable energy ratio of 0.1. Traditional iterative algorithms update the peak load PL using a hybrid binary partitioning method until convergence, while the non-iterative method calculates the ELCC in a single step. A comparison of the two methods is shown in Table 1.

[0157]

[0158] The non-iterative method reduced the average computation time per scene from 224.9 seconds to 32.1 seconds, a 7-fold speedup. The computation time distribution of the two methods is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the capacity credit results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the method proposed in this invention is very stable, reduces the computational burden, and the ELCC results are very close to those of the non-iterative method, with a maximum deviation of only 0.2%.

[0159] Energy storage capacity credit is influenced by its duration, the ratio of energy storage to renewable energy, and the duration of annual renewable energy changes.

[0160] When the duration is fixed, increasing the power ratio of energy storage to renewable energy leads to a gradual decrease in capacity credit. The impact of different renewable energy ratios on energy storage capacity credit is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0161] Storage configurations with shorter durations and lower renewable energy ratios show relatively smaller changes in capacity credit across different scenarios, while storage configurations with longer durations and higher renewable energy ratios exhibit larger changes in capacity credit. The impact of renewable energy fluctuations on the capacity credit of different storage configurations is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0162] Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) is used to measure the reliability of energy storage under extreme conditions. In CVaR-based assessments, energy storage capacity credit declines more severely for longer durations and higher renewable energy ratios. The reduction in CVaR energy storage capacity credit compared to expected energy storage capacity credit is shown as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
