[0049] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a robust scheduling method for a thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the robust scheduling method for the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system includes the following steps: In step S101, the topology of the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system is obtained, the compression subsystem, turbine subsystem, energy storage system and flue gas waste heat system in the topology are identified, and the operation models of the compression subsystem, turbine subsystem, energy storage system and flue gas waste heat system are constructed respectively.

[0056] The energy storage system includes a gas storage subsystem and a thermal storage tank system, among which... The operating model of the gas storage subsystem is as follows:
[0057]
[0058] in, Let t be the gas pressure in the gas storage tank. is the gas constant of air; Temperature of the gas storage facility; and These are the air mass flow rates on the compression side and turbine side of the gas storage facility, respectively. For gas storage capacity; The operating model of the gas storage subsystem is as follows:
[0059]
[0060] in, Let t be the flow rate of the high-temperature heat transfer fluid during the compression phase at time t; Specific heat capacity of the heat transfer fluid; Let be the flow rate of the high-temperature heat transfer fluid at time t; The operating model of the flue gas waste heat system is as follows:
[0061] in, The upper limit of heat supply for the flue gas waste heat system This is the lower limit for the heat supply of the flue gas waste heat system.
[0062] In step S102, an operating model for a thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system is constructed based on the operating models of the compression subsystem, turbine subsystem, energy storage system, and flue gas waste heat system.
[0063] It is understandable that the embodiments of this application first need to clarify the operating models of each component of the system. Each component, including the compressor, expander (turbine), gas storage tank, thermal storage tank, and flue gas waste heat system, has a detailed mathematical model to support its operation, ensuring the efficient operation of the entire system. These models consider various losses and efficiencies in the energy conversion process, as well as the optimal operating points under different operating conditions, aiming to maximize energy utilization and system economic benefits. Advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage, with its advantages of large capacity, long lifespan, and combined heat and power (CHP) technology, exhibits excellent thermodynamic interface characteristics and can be coupled with external heat sources, thus providing an effective path for the flexible transformation of thermal power plants. Therefore, the embodiments of this application construct an operating model for a thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system based on the operating models of the compression subsystem, turbine subsystem, energy storage system, and flue gas waste heat system, to improve the flexibility of thermal power units, effectively utilize thermal energy, optimize scheduling strategies, and enhance peak-shaving capabilities, thereby maximizing the utilization of thermal power resources. It can not only maximize the use of thermal power resources and improve energy storage efficiency, but also effectively reduce system operating costs and enhance the adaptability of energy storage systems in new energy consumption and grid peak shaving.
[0064] The operation process of the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system includes: In the energy storage stage, the compression subsystem is started, and the compressor is driven by absorbing excess power from the grid. The compressed high-temperature air exchanges heat with the low-temperature heat storage medium in the cold tank through the heat exchanger on the compression side. After heat exchange, the medium-temperature heat storage medium is further heated to high temperature by the waste heat of the flue gas from the thermal power plant and stored in the hot tank. The multi-stage compressor compresses the air to high pressure step by step and stores it in the gas storage tank, thus completing the storage of electrical energy. In the power generation stage, the turbine subsystem is started. The high-pressure gas stored in the gas storage tank first exchanges heat with the high-temperature heat storage medium in the hot tank through the heat exchanger. The high-temperature and high-pressure air after heat exchange enters the turbine, drives the turbine to do work, drives the generator to work and outputs electricity to the grid, thus completing the release of electrical energy.
[0065] The operating model of the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system in this application embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a compression subsystem, a turbine subsystem, an energy storage system, and a flue gas waste heat system.
[0066] The compression subsystem activates when electricity demand is low or when there is a surplus of renewable energy (such as wind and solar power). It draws excess electricity from the grid to drive the compressor, compressing air to high pressure and storing it in a storage tank. Simultaneously, the heat generated during compression is not wasted; it is exchanged with a low-temperature heat storage medium in a cold tank via a heat exchanger, and then further heated to a high temperature using waste heat from the power plant's flue gas before finally being stored in a hot tank.
[0067] The turbine subsystem starts up during peak electricity demand or when the system's power generation is insufficient. This process involves releasing high-pressure gas from the gas storage tank, exchanging heat with the high-temperature heat storage medium in the hot tank, and then entering the turbine to do work, driving the generator to produce electricity and output it to the grid.
[0068] Energy storage systems mainly consist of gas storage tanks and thermal storage tanks. Gas storage tanks are used to store high-pressure gas supplied by the compression subsystem, while thermal storage tanks are used to store the heat storage medium after it has been heated from medium to high temperature for later use.
[0069] The flue gas waste heat system is an important component of thermal power units. By recovering the waste heat from the flue gas discharged from the power plant, it provides an additional heat source for the compression subsystem, thereby improving the energy utilization rate of the entire system. This paper identifies the key components of the system and constructs operating models for each of these components.
[0070] In one embodiment of this application, the operating model of the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system further includes: a power plant rating model, which is as follows:
[0071] in, The upper limit of the rated compression power of the power plant This is the lower limit of the rated compression power of the power plant; Upper limit of rated turbine power of power plant This is the lower limit of the rated turbine power of the power plant; Upper limit of the volume of gas storage tank for power plants This is the lower limit of the gas storage volume of the power plant.
[0072] In step S103, the operation model of the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system is used as the hub of the thermal power system, and an optimized scheduling model of the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system is constructed by combining the power flow model on the grid side and the heat network model on the heat network side.
[0073] It is understood that this application proposes using the operating model of a thermal power-coupled compressed air energy storage system as the hub of the thermal power system, and combining the power flow model on the grid side and the heat network model on the heat network side to construct an optimized scheduling model for the thermal power-coupled compressed air energy storage system. This process aims to optimize the operating efficiency and economy of the entire system by integrating the models of the power system and the heating system.
[0074] Specifically, the operating model of a thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system serves as the hub of the thermoelectric system. This system not only generates electricity but also provides heat, thus acting as a bridge between electricity and heat supply. For example, during off-peak electricity demand, it can utilize surplus electricity for compressed air energy storage while recovering the heat generated during compression for heating; during peak hours, it can release the stored energy to meet electricity demand and may continue to provide heat. The power flow model on the grid side can be a Dist-Flow model, a method for simulating power flow in the distribution network. It considers the impact of resistance on voltage drop and is more suitable for the analysis of low-voltage distribution networks. Through this model, the voltage, current, and power distribution of each node in the grid can be accurately calculated, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the grid. The heating network model takes into account the relatively fixed water flow rate in the heating network, while the temperature changes according to user demand and external conditions. This model helps to better understand and predict the behavior of the heating network, thereby optimizing heat energy distribution. It mainly consists of heat sources, transmission and distribution networks, heat exchange stations, and heat loads. The heat sources mainly include compressed air energy storage stations and heat pumps. The heating system network consists of a water supply network and a return network with identical topologies. The heat generated by the heat source is transferred to heat exchange stations at all levels through the heat carriers in the network to provide heat to users with heat loads.
[0075] This application embodiment integrates models of both the power grid and the heating network, and takes the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system as the center to create a comprehensive optimization scheduling framework, forming a comprehensive optimization scheduling model that can achieve the best allocation of power and heat resources, reduce energy waste, and improve overall energy utilization efficiency.
[0076] In step S104, a fuzzy set of new energy output is obtained, and the corresponding parameters of the fuzzy set are set according to the actual data of the power grid in the target area. The set fuzzy set is then input into the optimization scheduling model, and the optimization scheduling model outputs the scheduling strategy of the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system.
[0077] It is understandable that before obtaining the fuzzy set of renewable energy output, robust optimization algorithms (such as infinity norm and 1-norm constraints) are used to establish the fuzzy set of renewable energy output in order to cope with uncertainties in actual operation and improve the system's adaptability and risk management capabilities. In the embodiments of this application, historical operating data of the power grid in the target area are collected, including but not limited to the actual output of renewable energy, load demand, weather conditions, etc.
[0078] By setting the corresponding parameters of the fuzzy set based on the actual data of the power grid in the target area, the risks associated with the uncertainty of new energy output can be effectively managed, ensuring that the system can operate stably under various conditions.
[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fuzzy set with adjusted parameters can be incorporated into the established optimization scheduling model of the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system. The optimization scheduling model uses a robust optimization algorithm to consider the uncertainty of new energy output and other related factors (such as load demand, equipment technical limitations, etc.) to perform complex mathematical calculations and find the optimal scheduling strategy, thereby improving the flexibility, economy and adaptability of the entire thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system.
[0080] In one embodiment of this application, the optimized scheduling model includes a first scheduling stage and a second scheduling stage. Before inputting the set fuzzy set into the thermoelectric system scheduling model, the method further includes: setting an objective function for the thermoelectric system scheduling model according to the objectives of the first scheduling stage and the second scheduling stage; and optimizing the thermoelectric system scheduling model based on the objective function.
[0081] In this embodiment, the aforementioned optimization scheduling problem can be divided into power grid scheduling costs. and heating network dispatch costs The objective function for optimizing the scheduling model consists of two parts:
[0082]
[0083] in, The objective function for the first scheduling phase is to minimize the system scheduling cost within the current time period. Let i be the system state transition probability; This represents the scheduling cost of the second scheduling phase given the current scheduling variables and the system state within the scheduling period; For the unit at time t The power generation capacity; and For the unit The power generation cost coefficient; To purchase electricity from the main power grid; The price of electricity purchased from the main grid; and These are the startup costs for the compression side and turbine side of compressed air energy storage, respectively. To generate heat for the heat pump, Heat generated for energy storage of compressed air; This is the heat production cost coefficient of the heat pump; This is the heat production cost coefficient for the compressed air energy storage station.
[0084] In summary, the robust scheduling method for thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage in this application adopts infinite norm and 1-norm constraints to construct a fuzzy set of new energy output. By establishing an optimized scheduling model for the thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage system, factors such as actual wind and solar power output and load demand are considered to improve the accuracy of the model. It has good risk management capabilities and can reasonably set fuzzy set parameters according to the actual data statistics of the power grid in the target area to improve the economic efficiency of planning and construction.
[0085] lower combination Figure 3 The scheduling optimization flowchart of the robust scheduling method for thermal power coupled compressed air energy storage described in this application seeks the optimal scheduling strategy. In this embodiment, the discrete scenario probability values and the second-stage variables in the subproblem are independent of each other; therefore, the solution to the subproblem can be divided into two steps. First, the inner-layer min problem in the subproblem is solved, and then the outer-layer max problem is processed.
