Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated energy system planning, and in particular to a method for coordinated planning of regional integrated energy system stations and networks that considers the balance between quantity and quality. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of "dual carbon" goals and the accelerated construction of new power systems, Regional Integrated Energy Systems (RIES) have become crucial for energy transition due to their multi-energy complementarity, high efficiency, and clean energy characteristics. However, traditional RIES planning methods have the following shortcomings:
[0003] Imbalance in energy properties: Traditional planning focuses only on the conservation of energy "quantity" and economy, ignoring the differences in energy "quality", and cannot accurately assess the actual energy consumption level of the system.
[0004] Solving multiple flows separately: Existing studies mostly model and optimize energy flow, carbon flow, and carbon flow separately, lacking unified coordination, making it difficult to achieve the overall system optimization.
[0005] Insufficient station-network coordination: Energy stations and energy networks are often planned separately or sequentially, lacking in-depth coordination, which limits overall performance.
[0006] Lack of balance between quantity and quality: Existing methods have failed to achieve a balance between economy, low carbon emissions and energy quality, and planning schemes often focus on a single objective.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a planning method that can uniformly represent the "quantity" and "quality" of energy, achieve deep coordination between stations and networks, and achieve a balance among multiple objectives. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The integrated energy system includes various energy forms such as electricity, gas, cooling, and heating. The steady-state energy flow model of the power subsystem is mainly based on the three-phase unbalanced line model. With node voltage, current, active power, and reactive power as variables, an active and reactive power balance model of the node is established to obtain the power distribution within the region.

[0038] The gas flow model states that the natural gas flow rate through the pipeline has a non-linear relationship with the squared difference in natural gas pressure at both ends of the pipeline, as shown in the following equation:

[0061] S2. Based on the energy flow steady-state model, establish a system carbon flow model.
[0062] Specifically, the carbon flow model, based on the energy flow steady-state model, defines indices such as carbon flow density, carbon flow rate, and carbon potential. A nodal carbon potential balance model is established, and then the carbon flow rate is calculated iteratively. The carbon emission flow rate, or simply carbon flow rate, represents the amount of carbon emissions passing through a node or branch per unit time, expressed in tCO2 / h.

[0072] Integrated energy system current calculation models fall into two categories: one is a direct current calculation method based on non-equilibrium node current, applicable to scenarios where the IES non-equilibrium node current is known; the other is an indirect current calculation method based on non-equilibrium node power, applicable to scenarios where the IES non-equilibrium node power is known. This invention, based on energy flow calculation results, establishes current equations for power lines, current balance and pressure-current equations for natural gas systems, and nodal current potential and thermal current for thermal systems.

[0074] S31. Current calculation of power subsystem:
[0075] In energy quality analysis, electrical energy can be entirely converted into work or other forms of energy, thus belonging to high-quality energy and can be entirely considered as non-active (V) energy. Therefore, active power flow can be considered as V current, and active power loss as V loss. The V current and V loss of a power branch can be expressed as:

[0078] S32. Flow calculation of natural gas subsystem:
[0079] Natural gas systems share similar characteristics with power systems, following Kirchhoff-like pressure laws. Loads generate heat energy through natural gas combustion. The calorific value can be used to analyze the energy characteristics of the pipeline network, and fuel sludge is used to quantitatively characterize the amount of sludge supplied to users. The distribution of fuel sludge consumed by the load within the pipeline network constitutes the sludge flow of the natural gas system, which is equivalent to the heat sludge released during combustion, providing a core basis for sludge flow analysis. This sludge flow can be calculated by multiplying the nodal sludge potential by the gas flow rate, where the nodal sludge potential is defined as the product of the natural gas energy quality coefficient and the calorific value. Under steady-state operating conditions, the change in this sludge flow is equivalent to pipeline sludge loss, and this sludge loss value is equal to the product of the difference in sludge potential between the nodes at both ends of the pipeline and the gas flow rate. Therefore, the sludge flow, sludge loss, gas source sludge, and gas load sludge in a natural gas system can all be expressed as:

[0083] The potential difference between a node temperature and the ambient temperature in a thermal system is defined as the potential at temperature T. As shown in the following formula:
[0084]
[0085] When the node water temperature is T, the vortex flow near the node can be expressed as the product of the node vortex potential and the water mass flow rate. The vortex flows in the supply and return water pipes, supply and return water nodes, and outlet nodes of the thermal system can be expressed as follows:

[0099] By calculating the nodal energy flow of each energy subsystem through energy flow conversion and distribution, and then incorporating carbon and galvanic flow calculations, since both carbon and galvanic flow calculations are based on the energy flow calculation results of non-equilibrium nodes, a unified power flow solution is established. This incorporates carbon and galvanic flow into the unified energy flow equations, treating the multi-energy energy flow-carbon flow-galvanic flow model as a unified whole, thus establishing a unified model.

[0101] The core idea of the unified solution method for the energy flow-carbon flow-thermal flow unified model is to treat the equations of the electric-gas-thermal network as a unified whole and simultaneously solve the state variables of these three types of networks using a unified Jacobian matrix iterative method. During the iteration process, carbon flow and thermal flow are calculated. When the power flow iteration solution converges, the carbon flow and thermal flow solutions are also completed. Based on this method, the unified energy-carbon-thermal-gas RIES iterative formula is as follows:

[0129] The upper-level optimization constraints mainly consist of equipment and pipeline deployment constraints, as well as energy balance constraints. Equipment planning constraints primarily include equipment commissioning constraints and equipment capacity constraints, as shown in the following formula:

[0145] Specifically, the upper layer employs the NSGA-II optimization algorithm for multi-objective optimization, while the lower layer solves for energy flow, carbon flow, and energy efficiency through Jacobi matrix iteration, and optimizes based on the Gurobi solver. The upper layer of the model performs multi-objective optimization of energy station equipment and energy network pipeline planning schemes. The optimized energy station equipment and energy pipelines serve as constraints for the lower layer of the planning model, influencing the optimization results of energy flow, carbon flow, and energy efficiency. The lower layer feeds back the optimized energy operation and maintenance costs, carbon emission costs, and energy efficiency to the upper layer for further optimization, ultimately forming a Pareto front solution set.

[0151] The RIES system comprises a 26-node power distribution system, a 9-node natural gas system, and a 22-node district heating system. The district heating system has supply and return water temperatures of 70°C and 40°C, respectively, and the medium-pressure natural gas system has a gas source pressure of 0.4 MPa. The heating system currently has a centralized heat source at node H07. It is proposed to connect the electrothermal coupling energy station EH2 at node E20 of the power distribution system to supply the H22 heating node, and to connect the energy station EH1 at node G07 of the natural gas system to supply the H01 heating node and node E12. Potential energy station equipment includes electric boilers (EB), gas boilers (GB), combined heat and power (CHP), heat pumps (HP), and photovoltaic (PV). Energy equipment parameters are shown in Table 2. Due to power backfeed limitations, the photovoltaic system within the energy station can only be consumed locally. This invention sets the current year as 2025 and conducts an 8-year medium-to-long-term energy system expansion plan, with a planning target of 2032. In 2025, the equivalent annual average loads for electricity, natural gas, and heat are projected to be 3.44MW, 8.60MW, and 3.10MW, respectively. The energy system in the example is already saturated, with loads in a period of slow and stable growth. Therefore, based on an equal annual growth rate, the estimated loads for electricity, gas, and heat by 2032 are projected to reach 6.73MW, 15.86MW, and 5.27MW, respectively, representing growth rates of 195.64%, 184.42%, and 170.00%.

[0156] against Figure 3 Using the RIES example, this paper analyzes its economic efficiency, carbon emissions, and cost efficiency. Based on the multi-objective programming model described in Section 4, the Pareto front solution set for multi-objective optimization is calculated as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the red circles represent the quantity-quality synergy planning schemes determined according to the quantity-quality synergy criterion. To compare their changing trends, the first and last two planning schemes, namely Scheme 1 (green circle) and Scheme 2 (yellow circle), are selected for comparison.
[0157] from Figure 5 The data shows that the economic efficiency, carbon emissions, and energy efficiency of the planning schemes exhibit an approximately linear relationship in some regions, but a non-linear relationship in others. This indicates that some planning schemes within the RIES system are mutually exclusive in terms of economic efficiency, low carbon emissions, and energy efficiency. Furthermore, towards the end of the planning process, as the cost of the scheme increases, its carbon emissions and energy efficiency essentially reach saturation.
[0158] The differences in configuration among the three planning schemes are shown in Table 3 below.
[0159] surface Three different planning schemes

[0161] Regarding the energy station equipment configuration in the quantity-quality coordinated planning scheme, due to the high energy efficiency ratio and capacity limitations of HP, EH1 is configured with 150 kW HP and 817 kW EB to meet the surrounding heat load demand of node H22. Since EH1 is an all-electric energy station, 400 kW PV is planned to achieve on-site consumption of new energy, while simultaneously improving the energy station's economic, low-carbon, and energy efficiency goals. EH2, as a non-all-electric energy station, can only transmit electricity externally, therefore no EB or HP are planned. CHP is also not planned due to its high cost and low energy efficiency. Due to the restriction that new energy must be consumed locally and cannot be transmitted back, considering the factors of curtailment and cost, EH2 is planned with 284 kW PV to match the power demand of E13. Simultaneously, to ensure the main heat supply, EH2 is also planned to be equipped with a 1695 kW gas-fired boiler.
[0162] Option 1, due to its lower economic cost, primarily relies on the H07 heat source for heat supply. EH1 is planned with 150 kW of HP and 231 kW of photovoltaic power, while EH2 only plans for a 438 kW gas-fired boiler for heat supply. Because the ratio of HP to PV capacity output is higher compared to other options, Option 1 energy station has higher efficiency.
[0163] Option 2, without considering economic costs, allocates all heat supply to the HP and EB units of EH1 and the GB and CHP units of EH2. The planned two 400 kW PV units and 1169 kW CHP unit provide some operational benefits and reduce carbon emissions. However, due to the lower energy efficiency of the CHP unit, the overall efficiency of the energy station is reduced.
[0164] The economic efficiency, carbon emissions, and energy efficiency of the quantity-quality coordinated planning scheme and the uncoupled scheme without energy stations are shown in Table 4.

[0166]
[0167] In terms of economics, although configuring energy station equipment will incur a planned investment cost of 1.2806 million yuan, the quantity-quality synergy planning scheme will save 4.4019 million yuan in energy costs annually, reducing operating costs by 34.85%. The average annual expansion cost of the energy network is basically the same for both schemes. Overall, the quantity-quality synergy planning scheme is approximately 17.82% more economical than not constructing an energy station.
[0168] In terms of carbon emissions, the lack of energy stations will result in an additional 2096.09 tons of carbon emissions annually, an increase of approximately one-fifth. Regarding efficiency, the multi-energy coupling equipment in the energy stations improves the overall energy efficiency of the RIES (Resource Energy Systems), increasing its efficiency by 0.11 compared to not having energy stations. The quantity-quality synergy planning scheme achieves improvements in economy, low carbon emissions, and energy efficiency to a certain extent.
[0169] Typical daily operating results under the quantity-quality collaborative planning scheme are as follows: Figures 6 to 8 As shown. Regarding electricity, the HP in EH1 maintains high energy output due to its high energy conversion efficiency, with the remaining heat supply being provided by EB. Photovoltaics, on the other hand, reduce daytime energy demand, especially at midday, by consuming renewable energy locally. Regarding natural gas in EH2, due to the lower energy efficiency and higher investment costs of CHP, EH2 abandoned the CHP configuration and relied entirely on GB for heating. Therefore, the GL08 expansion model connected to EH2 is larger. In terms of heating, due to the uneconomical nature and high carbon emissions of centralized heating stations, heat energy is no longer purchased from heating stations. EH2 and EH1 share the entire heat load demand, and their energy supply ratios are essentially the same.
