Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy absorption capacity assessment technology, specifically relating to a clean energy absorption optimization method and system that considers computer-aided collaboration. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of the "dual carbon" target, the proportion of clean energy sources such as wind and solar power in the power system is constantly increasing. However, their output is intermittent and fluctuating, making it difficult to balance power supply and demand in real time. This results in low utilization rates of clean energy, and the structural contradiction of "wind and solar curtailment" coexisting with power shortages in the east is becoming increasingly prominent. In terms of resource matching, computing infrastructure is mainly concentrated in eastern load centers, relying on fossil fuel power, while western renewable energy-rich areas face insufficient computing power demand, affecting the absorption of green electricity. At the system coordination level, computing power scheduling is performance-oriented, while the power system aims for frequency stabilization and peak regulation. The lack of a unified optimization framework results in a 3%-5% loss in renewable energy utilization. Technically, the heterogeneity of computing power systems and the volatility of power systems are difficult to reconcile using traditional control models, leading to low efficiency in cross-domain coordination. Therefore, how to optimize the absorption of clean energy and reduce the total operating cost of the power grid through scheduling and computing center location is an urgent problem to be solved.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese invention patent CN118137572A, which discloses a method for improving clean energy absorption capacity based on power load allocation. First, a support vector regression model is used to predict power generation, and a clustering algorithm is used to handle data anomalies and missing data. The prediction error is corrected using the normal distribution assumption. Then, based on the corrected power, the real-time energy state of the energy storage system is calculated, taking into account parameters such as self-discharge rate and charge / discharge efficiency. Finally, by combining the energy state values during peak and off-peak periods with the time difference and power utilization rate, an absorption rate index is constructed. Optimizing energy storage configuration and scheduling strategies maintains the absorption rate above a preset value, thereby suppressing load fluctuations, reducing wind and solar curtailment, and improving the efficiency of clean energy utilization. This technical solution suffers from several application shortcomings: the prediction model relies excessively on data quality and precise parameter settings, and noise in the actual data can easily lead to performance degradation; it assumes that the prediction error follows a normal distribution, but in reality, factors such as weather and equipment can cause the error distribution to deviate from the assumption, affecting the reliability of correction; the energy storage state calculation involves multiple time-varying parameters, and inaccurate calibration can lead to estimation bias; the method focuses on offline processing and lacks a real-time response mechanism, making it difficult to cope with sudden fluctuations; the algorithm integrates clustering, regression, and probabilistic correction, resulting in computational complexity and difficulty in deployment in resource-constrained scenarios. These limitations collectively restrict its practical application effectiveness in complex power grid environments.
[0004] A search revealed Chinese invention patent CN120013108A, which discloses a method and system for assessing clean energy absorption capacity based on transmission-receiver collaboration. Centered on "transmission-receiver collaboration," the system aggregates multi-source data from power generation, grid, load, and storage in real time. After cleaning, alignment, and fusion, it extracts time-frequency features and constructs a graph attention network to dynamically assess the renewable energy generation capacity at the sending end and simultaneously predict multi-scale loads at the receiving end. The system quantifies the absorption space online using the difference between "generation forecast" and "load forecast," and continuously optimizes model parameters. Based on this, the system generates scheduling strategies within seconds: during surplus periods, it increases clean energy output, charges energy storage, and shifts peak demand; during shortage periods, it reduces output, releases energy storage, activates reserves, and optimizes power flow, achieving closed-loop collaboration between power generation, grid, load, and storage, significantly improving renewable energy utilization and grid stability. Although the patent constructs a clean energy consumption assessment system that coordinates the sending and receiving ends, it still has five shortcomings: First, the algorithm stack is complex, with graph neural networks, time series analysis, and optimization coupling leading to a large computational load, making it difficult for edge devices or provincial dispatch centers to support real-time operation; second, it is highly dependent on high-quality synchronous data, and the absence, jumps, or delays of on-site sensors and smart meters will directly amplify prediction errors and lead to misjudgments; third, the model has weak generalization ability, with significant differences in regional power grid structures and renewable energy composition, requiring retraining when changing regions, resulting in high migration costs; fourth, the dispatch strategy is difficult to implement, as electricity price guidance and user peak shifting involve market mechanisms and policy support, and simple technical instructions are unlikely to be effective quickly; fifth, extreme scenarios and interpretability are lacking, and the system's robustness is not verified in the face of fluctuations such as typhoons and equipment cascading failures, and the black-box decision-making of deep learning lacks transparent basis, making it difficult for operators to trace and adjust, or affecting supervision and trust. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a method and system for optimizing clean energy consumption by considering computer-based collaboration. The aim is to optimize the allocation and utilization of clean energy through the synergistic effect of highly integrated information technology and power technology.
