Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a design method for a virtual energy storage balance model of an integrated wind-solar-hydro-storage base based on cross-regional ultra-high voltage direct current transmission, belonging to the field of new energy power generation. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body, "West-to-East Power Transmission" is the core strategy for optimizing the cross-regional allocation of energy. The integrated "wind-solar-hydro-storage" base, as the mainstream model for clean energy development, can achieve cross-regional power transmission, but it has significant technical bottlenecks: On the one hand, the strong uncertainty of wind and solar power output and the difference in hydropower output during the wet and dry seasons can easily lead to power supply and demand mismatch, exacerbating the problem of regional power balance; on the other hand, physical energy storage has the problems of high construction costs and limited capacity, making it difficult to meet the large-scale and flexible energy storage needs of the integrated "wind-solar-hydro-storage" base.
[0003] Existing ultra-high-voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission systems mostly employ a constant-power transmission mode, failing to fully exploit their transient transmission margin adjustment potential. Furthermore, simply converting physical energy storage into virtual energy storage can easily lead to system stability issues such as grid voltage fluctuations and frequency deviations. Therefore, how to rationally utilize the virtual energy storage potential of UHVDC transmission while controlling the cost of physical energy storage, and simultaneously relying on a regional multi-energy complementary system to ensure system stability, has become a key issue in improving the efficiency of new energy absorption and the reliability of cross-regional power supply.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

This method constructs a virtual energy storage balance model for UHVDC, providing an effective solution for the large-scale development and cross-regional optimized allocation of clean energy. Its core logic lies in breaking through the limitations of traditional physical energy storage, fully exploring the regulation potential of UHVDC transmission lines, and simultaneously relying on a multi-energy complementary system within the region to ensure system stability, thereby achieving the goals of "energy storage expansion, cost control, efficient consumption, and safe operation."

[0011] Furthermore, the basic power balance constraints within the region include:
[0012] Surplus energy storage constraint: When the total output of wind power, photovoltaic power and hydropower exceeds the real-time load demand of the region, and the power grid of the region has the capacity to absorb surplus power, the pumping mode of the pumped storage power plant is automatically triggered to convert the surplus power in the region into the gravitational potential energy of water and store it in the upper reservoir of the pumped storage power plant.
[0013] Power Shortage Compensation Constraint: When wind power and photovoltaic power generation experience a sharp drop in output due to weather factors, or when hydropower generation suffers from insufficient water supply, resulting in a power shortage in the region, the pumped storage power plant will automatically start generating power. The water stored in the upper reservoir of the pumped storage power plant will be released into the lower reservoir to drive the turbine generator unit to generate power and supplement the power gap in the region.

It proposes incorporating UHVDC transmission lines into the energy storage control scope, constructing a virtual energy storage operation mechanism based on the transient transmission margin and transmission time window of the transmission line. This forms an UHVDC virtual energy storage balance model, breaking the traditional fixed-power transmission mode. The transmission power can be flexibly adjusted in real time according to load demand, realizing temporary "virtual storage" and on-demand access to some electrical energy. Simultaneously, by clarifying the calculation method for the theoretical maximum renewable energy absorption capacity and multi-dimensional constraints such as channel capacity, transmission direction, and output adjustment, it prioritizes the cross-regional transmission of renewable energy generation while effectively avoiding the system stability risks that may arise from relying solely on virtual energy storage. Ultimately, without increasing the cost of physical energy storage, it indirectly expands the energy storage capacity of the integrated base, achieving an organic unity of efficient renewable energy absorption, precise cross-regional power matching, and safe and stable system operation.

[0032] Step 1: By integrating the region's own power generation units with local pumped storage power plants, construct a basic model of the regional wind-solar-hydro-storage integrated base, and establish basic power balance constraints within the region; the basic model of the regional wind-solar-hydro-storage integrated base includes a wind power generation unit model, a photovoltaic power generation unit model, a hydropower generation unit model, and a pumped storage power plant model.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, by integrating the region's own power generation units with local pumped storage power plants, an energy supply system with basic "power generation-energy storage" linkage capabilities is formed. This enables the establishment of a basic model for the integrated wind, solar, hydro, and storage base in the region, providing underlying energy and energy storage support for subsequent overall power balance regulation. Specifically, this includes:
[0034] I. Power Generation Unit Model
[0035] 1. Wind power generation unit model:
[0036] Based on the wind energy resource assessment report for this region, areas with an annual average wind speed of not less than 6 m / s and wind power density that meets the requirements for grid connection were selected as wind farm sites.

Inverters are then configured to achieve DC-AC conversion and grid connection of the photovoltaic power generation units. The mathematical model is as follows:

[0045] 3. Hydropower Unit Model:
[0046] For river basins within the region with suitable development conditions, hydroelectric power stations of appropriate scale should be constructed. These hydroelectric power generation units need to be connected to the regional power grid via step-up transformers to achieve grid-connected coordination with other power generation units. In the process of hydroelectric power generation, where potential energy is converted into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy, the output of the hydroelectric power station, after accounting for losses, is simplified in practical calculations as follows:

[0053] II. Pumped Storage Power Plant Model
[0054] Pumped-storage power plants have two operating modes. When electricity demand is low, they absorb excess electricity to transport water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir, thus storing energy. When the power system's load is high, the pumped-storage power station releases water from the upper reservoir to drive turbines and generate electricity. Due to the physical limitations of pumped-storage power plants, these two modes cannot be performed simultaneously. The mathematical formula is:

At this time, the pumped storage power plant acts as a load-side device to absorb the surplus electricity.
[0064] Power Shortage Compensation Constraint: When wind power and photovoltaic power generation experience a sudden drop in output due to weather factors, or when hydropower generation suffers from insufficient water supply, resulting in a power shortage in the region, the pumped storage power plant is automatically triggered to operate in power generation mode. The water stored in the upper reservoir of the pumped storage power plant is released into the lower reservoir to drive the turbine generator unit to generate electricity and supplement the power gap in the region. At this time, the pumped storage power plant participates in power supply as a power source.
[0065] Step 2: Based on the basic model of the regional wind-solar-hydro-storage integrated base in Step 1, configure an integrated energy system within the region to form a diversified energy storage and consumption system; the integrated energy system includes multiple types of energy storage equipment and energy conversion devices.
[0066] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the core objective of this step is to configure an integrated energy system based on the basic model built in step 1, construct a multi-level and multi-dimensional energy storage and consumption system, solve the problem of consuming surplus electricity in the region, and realize flexible allocation of cross-regional electricity.
[0067] An integrated energy system is configured within this region, interconnected with the power generation units via a large power grid. The integrated energy system includes various types of energy storage devices and energy conversion devices. The various types of energy storage devices include electricity storage devices, thermal storage devices, gas storage devices, and hydrogen storage tanks.

[0077] 3. Hydrogen fuel cell model
[0078] Hydrogen fuel cells primarily rely on an exothermic redox reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to achieve energy conversion. A heat exchange device can be used to recover and utilize the waste heat generated during the reaction, thus achieving a synergistic output of electrical and thermal energy. Based on the above technical principles, its mathematical model is as follows:

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, during normal operation, for scenarios with small load fluctuations within the power system, the various types of energy storage devices and energy conversion devices configured in step 2 are prioritized for activation. Utilizing their fast response speed and high control precision, load fluctuations are quickly mitigated, while surplus electricity is absorbed in multiple forms, reducing frequent calls to pumped-storage power plants and ensuring the stable operation of the basic energy model. When the integrated base in this region functions as a "West-to-East Power Transmission" hub, the control logic switches to a cross-regional power transmission priority mode. At this time, the pumped-storage power plant integrated in step 1 serves as the core energy storage and regulation unit. Leveraging its large capacity and long-cycle energy storage characteristics, it undertakes the valley-filling demand for cross-regional power transmission. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the virtual energy storage function of ultra-high-voltage direct current transmission, the overall regional power transmission and regulation capacity is further expanded, ensuring precise matching between the transmission scale and the electricity demand of the eastern load center, achieving efficient synergy between regional energy storage resources and the cross-regional power transmission system.
[0094] Step 3: Based on Step 1 and Step 2, this region is planned as the sending-end region of the inter-regional UHVDC transmission network, and a key link for the West-to-East Power Transmission is established; the UHVDC transmission interconnection line is included in the energy storage regulation scope of the sending-end region, and a virtual energy storage balance model and constraints for UHVDC are constructed.
[0095] Based on the regional integrated wind-solar-hydro-storage base model established in Step 1 and the internal multi-element energy storage and consumption system built in Step 2, this region will be planned and constructed as the sending-end area of a cross-regional ultra-high-voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission network. A dedicated transmission link will be established to open up the core transfer channel for "West-to-East Power Transmission," enabling the targeted transmission of electricity to load centers in the east. A virtual energy storage balance model for UHVDC will be constructed, utilizing the "virtual energy storage" characteristics of the UHVDC transmission channel to flexibly adjust the global power supply and demand between regions.
[0096] The ultra-high voltage direct current virtual energy storage balance model specifically includes the following:
[0097] ;

[0111] (2) Transmission direction constraints
[0112] Ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission is unidirectional, and no power adjustment in opposite directions is allowed during the transmission process; that is, the transmission power must maintain the same signal.
[0113] ;
[0114] In the formula, 0 and 1 represent different transmission directions. This indicates the sign of the transmitted power.

The real-time outgoing power of the nth inter-regional link at time t (i.e. Figure 4 (Power transmitted under virtual energy storage effect).
[0135] As can be seen from the above technical solution, in terms of technical architecture, this invention constructs a balanced system from regional energy supply to cross-regional power transmission. Firstly, taking regional renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power as the core, it integrates wind power generation units, photovoltaic power generation units, hydropower generation units, etc., and integrates local pumped storage power plants to form a basic model with "power generation-energy storage" linkage capabilities. By clarifying the adaptation conditions and mathematical models of each power generation unit, a stable and reliable underlying energy support is provided for the system. Simultaneously, by utilizing the charging and discharging switching logic of the pumped storage power plant, the dynamic adjustment of regional power surplus and deficit is initially realized.
[0136] Building upon this foundation, the region's energy utilization efficiency has been further optimized, constructing a closed-loop, multi-dimensional energy storage and consumption system. By configuring various types of energy storage devices, including electricity, heat, gas, and hydrogen storage, as well as energy conversion devices such as electrolyzers, hydrogen fuel cells, combined heat and power units, and gas-fired boilers, a multi-energy coupled control network of "electricity-heat-gas-hydrogen" is formed. This not only enables the mutual conversion and flexible use of different forms of energy but also allows for rapid response to minor load fluctuations within the region, efficiently absorbing surplus electricity. During normal operation, leveraging the fast response speed and high control precision of the diverse energy storage and energy conversion devices, load fluctuations can be mitigated, reducing the frequent use of pumped storage power plants. In cross-regional power transmission scenarios, the large-capacity energy storage characteristics of pumped storage power plants can accommodate load demands, forming a tiered and differentiated control mode.
[0137] Furthermore, this region is planned and constructed as the sending-end area of an ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission network. It proposes incorporating UHVDC transmission lines into the energy storage control framework, constructing a virtual energy storage operation mechanism based on the transient transmission margin and transmission time window of the transmission lines. This forms an UHVDC virtual energy storage balance model, breaking the traditional fixed-power transmission mode. The transmitted power can be flexibly adjusted in real time according to load demand, achieving temporary "virtual storage" and on-demand access to some electrical energy. Simultaneously, by clarifying the calculation method for the theoretical maximum renewable energy absorption capacity and multi-dimensional constraints such as channel capacity, transmission direction, and output adjustment, it prioritizes the cross-regional transmission of renewable energy while effectively avoiding the system stability risks that may arise from relying solely on virtual energy storage. Ultimately, without increasing the cost of physical energy storage, it indirectly expands the energy storage capacity of the integrated base, achieving an organic unity of efficient renewable energy absorption, precise cross-regional power matching, and safe and stable system operation.

The design method for a virtual energy storage balance model of an integrated wind-solar-hydro-storage base based on cross-regional ultra-high voltage direct current transmission as described in claim 1, is characterized in that... The basic power balance constraints within the region include: Surplus energy storage constraint: When the total output of wind power, photovoltaic power and hydropower exceeds the real-time load demand of the region, and the power grid of the region has the capacity to absorb surplus power, the pumping mode of the pumped storage power plant is automatically triggered to convert the surplus power in the region into the gravitational potential energy of water and store it in the upper reservoir of the pumped storage power plant. Power Shortage Compensation Constraint: When wind power and photovoltaic power generation experience a sharp drop in output due to weather factors, or when hydropower generation suffers from insufficient water supply, resulting in a power shortage in the region, the pumped storage power plant will automatically start generating power. The water stored in the upper reservoir of the pumped storage power plant will be released into the lower reservoir to drive the turbine generator unit to generate power and supplement the power gap in the region.
