Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power system operation and control technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment, medium and product for generating power balance strategy. Background Technology

[0002] Hydropower, as a crucial pillar of the power system, serves multiple functions including power generation, peak shaving, reserve, and energy storage. The stability of its output is vital for power balance. However, hydropower output, especially its available power on medium- to long-term timescales, is highly dependent on river basin inflows and is vulnerable to the direct impact of extreme weather events. For example, prolonged extreme droughts can lead to a sharp reduction in reservoir inflows, significantly decreasing the power generation capacity of hydropower units; while sudden catastrophic floods may force hydropower stations to release water, also resulting in power loss. Against the backdrop of global climate change, the frequency and intensity of such extreme hydrological events are increasing, making hydropower output exhibit significant randomness and uncertainty. To address this uncertainty, current technologies often treat hydropower as a deterministic or simply fluctuating power source, leading to insufficient reserve capacity on medium- to long-term timescales or impractical cross-regional power trading arrangements. Once an extreme hydrological event occurs, the system will face a significant risk of power shortage, jeopardizing grid security. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Hydropower, as a crucial pillar of the global power system, serves multiple functions including power generation, peak shaving, backup, and energy storage. The stability of its output is vital for maintaining power balance. However, hydropower output, especially its available capacity over medium- to long-term timescales, is highly dependent on river basin inflows and is vulnerable to the direct impact of extreme weather events. For example, prolonged extreme droughts can drastically reduce reservoir inflows, significantly decreasing the power generation capacity of hydropower units; while sudden catastrophic floods may force hydropower stations to release water, also resulting in energy losses. Against the backdrop of global climate change, the frequency and intensity of such extreme hydrological events are increasing, leading to significant randomness and uncertainty in hydropower output.

[0021] To address the uncertainty of hydropower output, existing technologies have proposed several solutions. One approach is to improve hydrological and meteorological forecasting techniques, using numerical weather prediction or statistical models to enhance the accuracy of short- to medium-term inflow forecasts, thereby optimizing reservoir operation plans. Another approach is to consider historical hydrological sequences in power system planning and scheduling, using typical year or long-term operational simulations to evaluate the long-term average performance of hydropower.

[0022] However, these existing technologies have significant limitations. First, most studies focus on routine hydrological fluctuations or simply analyze historical extremes (such as dry and wet years), lacking systematic modeling and quantitative assessment of "low-probability, high-impact" extreme hydrological scenarios (such as once-in-a-century droughts or floods). Second, in power balance models, hydropower is often treated as a deterministic or simply fluctuating power source, failing to fully reflect the substantial risk of hydropower units abruptly transforming from a "stable supporting power source" to a "power shortage source" under extreme weather conditions. This simplistic treatment may lead to insufficient reserve capacity on medium- to long-term timescales or unrealistic cross-regional power trading arrangements. Once extreme hydrological events occur, the system will face a huge risk of power shortage, endangering grid security.

[0023] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a method, apparatus, device, medium, and product for generating power balance strategies, which can effectively improve the accuracy of assessing the hydropower output characteristics under extreme weather scenarios, thereby improving the security of the power balance strategies formulated accordingly.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is an optional flowchart of the power balance strategy generation method provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 The method may include, but is not limited to, steps S101 to S103.

[0025] Step S101: Obtain basic data of the power system, and generate a random multi-scenario set based on meteorological and hydrological information in the basic data, wherein each scenario contains a hydropower output sequence; Step S102: Based on the basic data, establish a power balance optimization model with the goal of minimizing the total system operating cost, where the total system operating cost includes thermal power generation cost, hydropower curtailment penalty cost, wind power curtailment penalty cost, photovoltaic curtailment penalty cost, and load loss penalty cost; Step S103: Based on a random multi-scenario set, set unit operation constraints, cross-regional power trading constraints, and system operation constraints for the optimization model. Use an optimization algorithm to solve the model to obtain the power balance strategy and output the power balance strategy to guide the medium- and long-term dispatch and operation of the power system.

[0026] Steps S101 to S103 as illustrated in this application embodiment generate a random multi-scenario set of hydropower and use it as the boundary condition of the optimization model. This allows the established power balance optimization model to fully account for the uncertainty of hydropower output under extreme weather conditions, thereby ensuring that the generated scheduling strategy has inherent robustness in dealing with various possible extreme scenarios. This significantly improves the long-term power supply security and resilience of the power system. At the same time, by constructing a system total operating cost objective function that comprehensively considers thermal power costs, curtailment penalties, and load loss penalties, this strategy effectively guides the system to prioritize the consumption of clean energy and optimize economic operation modes while ensuring the bottom line of power supply security. This achieves multi-objective synergy in promoting the efficient consumption of new energy and reducing the overall operating cost of the system, systematically solving the technical problem that traditional power balance methods are unable to balance safety, economy, and greenness on medium- and long-term time scales.

[0027] In step S101 of some embodiments, the basic data can be a set of key data of the power system, which is divided into two categories according to attributes: uncertain input data and deterministic data. Uncertain input data refers to dynamic data affected by natural conditions or prediction accuracy, including historical and predicted hydrological data (i.e., hydrological information, including rainfall and runoff), historical and predicted meteorological data (i.e., meteorological information, including precipitation, temperature, wind speed, sunshine, total solar radiation, direct radiation, temperature, humidity, etc.), and prediction error distribution data of the above data. Deterministic data refers to static data that is inherent to the power system or can be accurately obtained, including physical characteristic data of wind power / photovoltaic power plants (installed capacity, power curve, power influencing factors, etc.), load data (medium and long-term prediction curves and segmented information), thermal power unit parameters (capacity, upper and lower limits of output, cost coefficient, etc.), hydropower unit parameters (minimum / maximum output, water regulation rules, etc.), power grid operation parameters (topology, transmission constraints, etc.), and equipment maintenance plans. The random multi-scenario set can be a combination of scenarios including both normal and extreme weather conditions. Each scenario corresponds to specific meteorological / hydrological conditions, and the power output sequences of hydropower, wind power, and photovoltaic power within the scenario are coupled and correlated, covering extreme power output scenarios. The power output sequence can be a continuous data sequence of power generation output in different time periods within a certain time period. The hydropower sequence is determined by rainfall / runoff and reservoir rules.

[0028] It should be noted that, on medium- to long-term timescales, the output of wind power and solar power, as well as the inflow of water for hydropower, all exhibit significant randomness. Specifically, the inflow of water into a hydropower station reservoir depends not only on rainfall but also on the combined effects of the spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall and the geographical characteristics of the watershed; while the output of wind power and solar power is directly constrained by uncontrollable natural factors such as wind speed and sunshine.

[0029] In this application embodiment, based on the relatively stable characteristics of wind and solar resources over medium to long-term timescales, the output of wind and solar power in extreme scenarios is treated deterministically, assuming that their output remains stable over a certain period. Accordingly, this application focuses its evaluation on the output characteristics of hydropower, which is more severely affected by extreme weather events and has higher uncertainty. By constructing a power balance optimization model that considers extreme hydropower output, significant economic benefits can be achieved while ensuring the safety and reliability of the power grid.

[0030] In some embodiments, a random multi-scene set is generated based on meteorological and hydrological information in the underlying data, including: Identifying extreme weather events based on meteorological and hydrological information from basic data; Using extreme weather events as common driving factors, a random multi-scenario set is generated by employing probabilistic models or machine learning methods.

[0031] Specifically, firstly, the system extracts key meteorological and hydrological indicators closely related to hydropower output from basic data, such as the number of consecutive drought days in a specific region, cumulative rainfall, typhoon path and intensity, and watershed inflow. Based on historical statistical data and climate models, thresholds for these indicators are set to identify target extreme weather events (e.g., severe droughts, severe floods) that may pose a serious threat to the operation of the power system.

[0032] Subsequently, the identified target extreme weather events are used as common driving factors. This means that an extreme weather event (such as a severe drought) will be considered a core driving scenario, around which a complete profile of new energy output is constructed. A probabilistic model (e.g., a Copula function joint distribution model based on historical data, Monte Carlo simulation, etc.) or machine learning methods (e.g., Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs, etc.) are used to generate a random multi-scenario set containing a large number of samples. In this set, each scenario represents a specific hydropower output time-series curve that may occur under the driving force of an extreme weather event. These scenarios collectively characterize the uncertainty space of hydropower output under extreme conditions, providing comprehensive and quantitative risk input for subsequent optimization models.

[0033] Through the above methods, this invention transforms qualitative extreme weather risks into quantitative, calculable extreme scenarios, laying a solid foundation for developing robust power balance strategies. Compared to traditional independent modeling methods that only target a single energy source, the scenarios generated using this approach not only provide more comprehensive coverage of extreme scenarios but also significantly reduce the correlation errors between multiple energy outputs, ultimately making the corresponding power balance strategies more reliable.

[0034] In step S102 of some embodiments, the power balance optimization model can be a medium- to long-term scheduling mathematical model, aiming to minimize the total system operating cost, integrating multiple scenario constraints and operating rules to achieve optimal resource allocation. The total system operating cost can be the sum of operating costs and penalty fees, including thermal power generation costs, hydropower curtailment penalty costs, wind power curtailment penalty costs, photovoltaic power curtailment penalty costs, and load loss penalty costs.

[0035] The objective function of the power balance optimization model can be expressed by the following formula (1):

[0036] in, Indicates a time period; Indicates the total duration of the calculation cycle, for example You can choose "one year"; This represents the segmentation of an approximate continuous load curve (dividing the continuous load curve into several segments for easier calculation). This represents the total number of segments in an approximately continuous load curve; Indicates time period Internal load level The corresponding duration, in hours; thermal power cost parameters: Indicates the designation of the thermal power generating unit; It refers to the collection of thermal power generating units, that is, the collective term for all thermal power generating units; This represents the power generation cost coefficient of thermal power generating unit g at time period t and load level b, expressed in yuan / MWh; This represents the average output of thermal power generating unit g at time period t and load level b, in MW; parameters for the water wastage penalty term: The penalty coefficient for wasted water volume is expressed in yuan / MWh; Indicates a hydroelectric power plant; Indicates the output of the hydroelectric generator unit; Indicates hydroelectric power unit Average equivalent cost coefficient of water curtailment under time period t and load level b; parameters for wind and solar power curtailment penalty term: This represents the penalty coefficient for wind power curtailment and solar power curtailment, used to incentivize the integration of wind and solar power. Indicates wind power and solar power output; This represents the cost coefficients for wind power and solar power curtailment at time period t and load level b; load loss penalty term parameters: This represents the load curtailment penalty coefficient, used to ensure power supply reliability; Indicates load output. This represents the load loss cost coefficient under load level b during time period t.

[0037] This step provides a unified decision-making framework for power balance optimization by constructing a system total cost objective function that integrates thermal power operation costs, hydropower / energy curtailment penalties, and load loss penalties, thereby quantifying economic efficiency, environmental friendliness, and power supply security simultaneously.

[0038] In step S103 of some embodiments, the random multi-scenario set can serve as the boundary conditions for model solving, requiring the strategy to meet the operational requirements of all scenarios (especially extreme scenarios). The main constraints can include three types: unit operation constraints (limitations on various power technologies, such as hydropower water balance and thermal power output range), cross-regional transaction constraints (tether line power / energy limits), and system operation constraints (power / energy balance, reserve capacity requirements, etc.). The optimization algorithm used here is the Benders decomposition algorithm, which decomposes the complex mixed-integer programming problem into "main problem (objective optimization) + sub-problems (constraint verification)," accelerating the solution efficiency.

[0039] The constraints include unit maintenance constraints, unit operation constraints, inter-regional power trading constraints, and system operation constraints. Unit maintenance should adhere to constraints such as maintenance frequency, maintenance time, maintenance continuity, and power plant maintenance capacity. Unit operation constraints include start-up status and power range limitations for thermal power, hydropower, pumped storage, wind power, and photovoltaic units. Specifically, unit operation constraints include: output range constraints and annual power generation constraints for hydropower units, and total power output constraints for hydropower stations; output range constraints and curtailment restrictions for wind power and photovoltaic units; output range constraints, start-up and shutdown status constraints, and minimum technical output constraints for thermal power units; and power generation and pumping power constraints for pumped storage units.

[0040] Considering the impact of extreme weather conditions such as drought and floods on hydropower generation, a stochastic multi-scenario method is used to model hydropower. Based on the stochastic multi-scenario set, unit operation constraints, inter-regional power trading constraints, and system operation constraints are set to optimize the model. The unit operation constraints of hydropower units are described in detail below:

[0041]

[0042]

[0043]

[0044] Among them, formula (2) is the lower limit constraint of the output of the hydropower unit under scenario hs. For scene identification, random scene It is a dataset containing future extreme operating conditions. In formula (2), This represents the actual planned power generation of hydropower unit h under time period t, scenario hs, and load level b, in MW. This represents the downward reserve provided by hydropower unit h under time period t, scenario hs, and load level b, i.e., the margin for output reduction, expressed in MW. This represents the minimum output of hydropower unit h under scenario hs, i.e., the lower limit of the unit's output during operation, in MW; This represents the operating status of hydropower unit h under load levels at time periods t and b. When =1, it is running. =0 indicates shutdown; Formula (3) is the upper limit constraint of the output of the hydropower unit under scenario hs. In Formula (3), This indicates the upward reserve provided by hydropower unit h under time period t, scenario hs, and load level b, i.e., the margin for power output that can be increased, in MW; This represents the maximum output of the hydropower unit h under scenario hs, i.e., the upper limit of the unit's output during operation, in MW. Formula (4) is the downward reserve range constraint of the hydropower unit under scenario hs, and formula (5) is the upward reserve range constraint of the hydropower unit under scenario hs. In summary, formulas (2) to (5) together constitute the output range constraint of the hydropower unit.

[0045] In addition to these constraints, hydropower operation must also meet overall hydropower constraints, mainly in the following aspects: First, the total output of the hydropower station should not be less than its forced output. Secondly, its total output should not exceed the power plant's expected output. During a period of time Inside, the hydroelectric power station generates electricity. The relationship between electricity generation and power generation is shown below:

[0046]

[0047]

[0048] Among them, formulas (6)-(7) are the total output constraints of the hydropower station under scenario hs, i.e., the upper and lower limits of the total output constraints, and formula (8) is the formula for calculating the total power generation of the hydropower station. In formula (6), Indicates a hydroelectric power station. It is a hydroelectric power unit; This represents the average power generation of hydropower unit h under time period t, scenario hs, and load level b, in MW; Indicates hydroelectric power station The forced output under time period t and scenario hs, i.e., the lower limit of the total output that the hydropower station must maintain, is expressed in MW; in formula (7), Indicates hydroelectric power station The expected output under time period t and scenario hs, i.e., the upper limit of the total planned output of the hydropower station, is expressed in MW; in formula (8), Indicates hydroelectric power station The total amount of electricity generated during the entire time period t under scenario hs, expressed in MWh; Segments representing approximate continuous load curves; This represents the total number of segments in an approximately continuous load curve; Indicates time period Internal load level The duration, in hours; Representing a scene The probability of occurrence; This refers to mathematical multiplication operations.

[0049] In one specific embodiment, when the time unit The calculation period is 1 week. When the annual regulation period is 1 year, the water allocation of the hydropower station should meet the following constraints.

[0050]

[0051]

[0052] This formula is applicable to annual regulating hydropower stations (time unit). 1 week, calculation period The water allocation constraint (for a year) is one of the core rules for the medium- and long-term operation and scheduling of hydropower, used to regulate the range of outflow power and the balance of total annual power within a given period. In formula (9), This represents the minimum outflow power of a hydropower station hp under time period t and scenario hs, expressed in MWh. This represents the total power generation of the hydropower station hp in time period t and scenario hs, expressed in MWh. hp represents the total equivalent electricity generated by the hydropower station during time period t and scenario hs, in MWh; This represents the maximum outflow of hydropower station hp under time period t and scenario hs; formula (10). This represents the total electricity generated by the hydropower station hp during the entire time period t under scenario hs, expressed in MWh. hp represents the total equivalent electricity generated by the hydropower station during time period t and scenario hs, in MWh; The total equivalent power of water discharge during the time period t of the hydropower station hp is expressed in MWh. Formula (9) is used to limit the range of outflow power within a single time period (1 week), requiring that the "total power generation + equivalent power of water discharge" be between the minimum and maximum outflow power, balancing the rationality of reservoir discharge and power generation demand; Formula (10) is used to achieve annual power balance, requiring that the sum of "total power generation + equivalent power of water discharge" in each time period of the year equals the annual total power, ensuring that the annual water allocation of the regulating hydropower station matches the power generation plan. In summary, Formulas (8)-(10) together constitute the annual power generation constraint of the hydropower unit.

[0053] In some embodiments, for thermal power units: the output range is met ( ≤ ≤ ), start / stop state constraints ( ∈{0,1}) and minimum technical output constraint; where, Indicates thermal power unit; Indicates thermal power unit Maximum output, measured in MW; Indicates thermal power unit The minimum output power, in MW; This indicates the operating status of thermal power unit g under load levels at time periods t and b.

This represents the minimum available output (power, MW) of wind power and photovoltaic power at time period t and load level b. This represents the maximum available output (power, MW) of wind power and photovoltaic power at time period t and load level b.

This represents the maximum power generation of energy storage unit q during time period t and load segment b; This represents the maximum discharge power of the energy storage unit q during time period t and load segment b.

[0056] In some embodiments, cross-regional power trading constraints include cross-regional power trading constraints and cross-regional electricity trading constraints. Cross-regional power trading constraints define the power and electricity boundaries of tie lines to prevent transactions from exceeding transmission capacity in extreme scenarios.

[0057] Cross-regional transaction power constraints: ≤ ≤ ,in, Let z be the power output of tie line z during time period t and load b. / These are the upper and lower limits of the tie line power. Cross-regional electricity trading constraints: ,in, For connecting lines The total annual electricity volume is evenly distributed seasonally.

[0058] In some embodiments, system operating constraints include power balance constraints, energy balance constraints, and reserve constraints.

[0059] Specifically, power balance constraints ensure that the total power generation of the system is balanced with the total load power, inter-regional trading power, and energy storage charging and discharging power at each time period and load level; The power balance constraint ensures that the total power generation of the system is balanced with the changes in total load power, cross-regional transaction power and energy storage power within the calculation period; Backup constraints include upward backup constraints and downward backup constraints to ensure that the system has the ability to cope with unit failures and load fluctuations.

[0060] Specifically, the power balance constraint is shown in the following formula (11):

[0061] Formula (11) represents the real-time power balance constraint under power system time period t and load segment b. It is one of the core constraints for stable operation of the power system, used to ensure real-time matching between total power output on the generation side and total demand on the load side (including cross-regional transmission), and to avoid frequency fluctuations or supply-demand imbalances.

The left side of formula (11) is the total net output of the power generation side (thermal power output + total output of hydropower in random multi-scenario set + renewable energy output + net energy storage output, where net energy storage output = power generation - pumping power); the right side is the total demand of the load side (system load + power transmitted across regions). This constraint requires that the power on both sides be equal in real time, which is the basic condition for ensuring the frequency stability and supply-demand balance of the power system.

[0062] The system power balance constraint is shown in the following formula (12):

[0063] Formula (12) ensures that the total power generation and total power consumption are balanced within the calculation period, taking into account the effects of energy storage charging and discharging and energy curtailment. Total available power from wind and solar power (unit: MWh); The value is the amount of wind and solar power curtailment (unit: MWh), and the interpretations of the other parameters are consistent with those in formula (11).

[0064] The system standby constraint is shown in the following formula (13):

This represents the minimum available output (power, MW) of wind power and photovoltaic power at time period t and load level b. This represents the maximum available output (power, MW) of wind power and solar power at time period t and load level b. To cope with random factors such as unit failures and load fluctuations, the system should ensure sufficient startup capacity, as shown in the following formula (15).

When =1, it is running. =0 indicates shutdown; This represents the planned output of hydropower unit h under scenario hs at time period t and load level b. This represents the sum of the planned output of all hydropower units h under scenario hs at time t and load level b.

This is the system reserve factor; This represents the total load demand of the system at time period t and load level b.

[0069] The optimization model shown in formula (1) and the constraints shown in formulas (2) to (15) constitute a mixed integer programming problem with complex constraints and numerous variables. To accelerate the solution of the model, this application uses the Benders decomposition algorithm to solve the model. The Benders decomposition algorithm decomposes the optimization model into a main problem and subproblems for iterative solution.

[0070] For example, the solution process of the Benders decomposition algorithm is as follows: Based on the mixed integer linear programming optimization model (MILP), the parameters are first initialized, the number of iterations is set, and the parameters are optimized. Then, the Benders main problem is entered: This problem needs to determine the constraint variables such as unit start-up / shutdown, maintenance plan, and inter-regional trading plan, and solve it with the goal of minimizing the total system operating cost. Then, the decision result of the main problem is passed into the Benders subproblem. Under the premise of the decision of the main problem, the subproblem checks the feasibility of the optimal economic dispatch scheme under the corresponding dispatch strategy, while satisfying the constraints such as power balance and reserve, and calculates the actual operating cost. Then, the upper and lower bounds are updated and a cutting plane is added to the main problem. Then, it is judged whether the difference between the upper and lower bounds is less than the threshold ε. If it is not satisfied, the main problem iteration is returned. If it is satisfied, the optimal power balance strategy is output, which includes various unit maintenance / start-up / shutdown plans, medium and long-term power generation plans, inter-regional trading curves, and system reserve capacity configuration.

[0071] Compared with existing technologies, this application makes the constraint modeling more complete through the quantitative constraints of formulas (2)-(15): For the first time, it constructs a full-dimensional constraint of "output-reserve-electricity" for hydropower units (formulas (2)-(10)) for extreme weather scenarios, quantifies the impact of extreme water inflow on hydropower output, and solves the problem that related technologies only qualitatively describe constraints; further, the multi-constraint collaboration is more efficient: the hydropower constraint is modeled collaboratively with the thermal power, energy storage, and cross-regional transaction constraints (formulas (10)-(15)) to ensure the resource linkage of each power source and each region under extreme scenarios; further, the constraints are more in line with the objectives: the cost of constraint violation is incorporated into the objective function through the penalty coefficient (formula (1)) to achieve the collaborative optimization of "safety constraints-economic objectives".

[0072] In one specific embodiment, to verify the effectiveness of the technical solution of this application, the improved IEEE-RTS1979 system is used as the research object, and the following experimental parameters and scenarios are set: the calculation period is 1 year, corresponding to 52 weeks; the penalty for abandoned hydropower is US$1000 / MWh; the penalty for abandoned wind / solar power is US$5 / MWh; and the penalty for load loss is US$1000 / MWh. The annual cross-regional electricity trading volume is evenly distributed according to the seasons, and the output power range of the tie line is [10MW, 500MW]. Normal scenario: no extreme weather, hydropower inflow is at the historical average, and wind and solar power output follows the typical annual curve; extreme scenario: severe drought occurs in summer and autumn, and hydropower inflow drops to 50% of the historical average.

[0073] First, a verification under normal operating conditions (without the impact of extreme weather) was conducted. The models considering extreme weather and those not considering extreme weather were solved separately. The system operating indicators and weekly values ​​of cross-regional electricity transactions under normal operating conditions were compared between the two models. The system operating indicators are shown in Table 1 below. Table 1 System performance indicators under normal operating conditions

[0074] It should be noted that the term "renewable energy" in this application refers to a collective term for wind power, photovoltaic power, and hydropower.

[0075] Figure 2 This is a comparison chart of inter-regional weekly trade in energy under normal circumstances. Figure 3 The bar chart shows the comparison of system performance indicators under normal scenarios. As can be seen from the results above, the existing technical model, which does not consider hydropower reserve constraints, has a lower short-term cost but a higher probability of renewable energy curtailment. The model in this application improves the wind and solar power absorption capacity through hydropower reserve adjustment, reducing the probability of renewable energy curtailment by 1.15 percentage points, thus verifying the role of the constraint formula in promoting the absorption of new energy.

[0076] Secondly, we conducted validation under extreme weather conditions: assuming extreme weather reduces hydropower generation to half its original level during the summer and autumn seasons. The system operation indicators and inter-regional weekly energy trade under extreme weather conditions are compared between the two models, as shown in Table 2 below.

[0077] Table 2 System performance indicators under extreme weather conditions

[0078] Figure 4 This is a comparison chart of inter-regional weekly trade in energy under extreme scenarios. Figure 5 This is a bar chart comparing system performance indicators under extreme scenarios. When extreme weather events such as drought occur, to ensure grid balance, thermal power generation increases, renewable energy consumption increases, and inter-regional energy trade decreases during spring and winter. Notably, inter-regional electricity consumption decreased by 2684 MWh in week 26. Both models result in load losses, but the load losses are smaller under extreme weather conditions. This indicates that the model considering extreme weather is better able to address climate change and ensure grid balance.

[0079] Compared with existing technologies, this application effectively overcomes the core shortcomings of traditional power balance strategies, which "only focus on normal operating conditions, lack sufficient quantification of extreme risks, and are difficult to coordinate safety and economy." Its specific advantages are significant: Firstly, by using a set of multiple scenarios under extreme weather conditions as model boundary constraints, it greatly enhances the safety resilience and risk resistance of the power system under extreme scenarios, avoiding the supply-demand imbalance problems that easily occur in extreme weather conditions due to existing technologies based on deterministic predictions or normal fluctuation range scheduling. As shown in the extreme operating condition example, the load loss of the model in this application is only 0.0242 × MWh, far lower than 0.2260× without considering extreme weather models. MWh, effectively avoiding the risk of power curtailment; on the other hand, a unified medium- and long-term power balance framework is constructed, realizing unified modeling of uncertain power sources (hydropower) and accurate quantification of the balance state under extreme scenarios. This solves the problem that existing technologies are limited to short-term scheduling or independent handling of hydropower uncertainty and are difficult to reflect the coupling effect of multiple energy sources. Case study data shows that under normal operating conditions, the wind and solar curtailment probability of the model in this application decreases from 4.1687% to 3.018%, and under extreme operating conditions, the curtailment volume decreases from 0.1686 × MWh decreased to 0.0181× MWh can accurately capture the impact of multi-energy coupling on system supply and demand, providing scientific data support for scheduling plans. At the same time, through multi-objective optimization design, it improves the overall economic benefits of system operation while ensuring safety in extreme scenarios, breaking the dilemma of existing technologies either driving up costs due to conservative backup or suffering extreme losses due to insufficient risk assessment. Although the total operating cost of the model in this application is slightly higher under normal operating conditions, the cost of thermal power generation under extreme operating conditions is reduced from US$12.743 million to US$6.238 million. By reducing power curtailment and power shortage losses throughout the entire cycle, the overall optimization of long-term system risk and cost is ultimately achieved.
