Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power plant optimization scheduling technology, and in particular to a method and system for optimizing power generation control in hydropower stations. Background Technology

[0002] As the penetration rate of renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics in the power grid continues to increase, their power generation exhibits significant fluctuations and intermittency, posing a severe challenge to the stability of the power grid frequency. Hydropower generating units, due to their large-scale power support and regulatory flexibility, have become an important resource for primary frequency regulation of the power grid. However, hydropower units are limited by hydraulic and mechanical inertia when dealing with high-frequency disturbances, resulting in a delayed response. Furthermore, frequent adjustments to guide vanes or start-up and shutdown operations accelerate mechanical wear, increase maintenance costs, and shorten equipment lifespan, impacting the overall economic benefits of hydropower stations.

[0003] Existing methods for optimizing hydropower generation control mainly include traditional dispatch strategies, hydro-storage joint frequency regulation strategies, and vibration zone constraint methods. Traditional dispatch strategies typically target power generation or a constant incremental rate, with fixed allocation of unit frequency regulation capacity. They lack dynamic awareness of real-time unit fatigue and hydraulic transient risks, making it difficult to balance unit lifespan with grid frequency regulation requirements. Hydro-storage joint frequency regulation methods compensate for hydropower unit response lag by introducing energy storage systems, but power allocation often uses fixed ratios or logical switching, lacking forward-looking dispatch and dynamic optimization. This leads to frequent activation of hydropower units during small disturbances, increasing wear, while large disturbances may prevent full utilization of unit regulation capacity. While some methods consider unit vibration zones and start-up / shutdown constraints, reducing unit risk by avoiding vibration zones or limiting the number of crossings, these are mostly static constraints. They do not quantify regulation capacity as attenuable resources for global dynamic optimization and lack real-time adaptability to changes in unit state.

[0004] Therefore, under the conditions of high penetration of new energy sources and increased grid frequency fluctuations, existing technologies still suffer from problems such as excessively rapid unit wear, decreased efficiency, and insufficient frequency regulation response.

[0049] S5 executes the frequency modulation strategy: executes the obtained target frequency modulation strategy.

[0050] Unlike existing technologies that rely solely on predicting remaining lifespan as a static constraint, this embodiment directly incorporates the unit's frequency regulation capability as an optimizable resource into multi-objective frequency regulation decisions. By combining an operating condition identification model and weighted adaptive optimization, it achieves global dynamic coordination of grid frequency response, power plant frequency regulation capability, energy storage system utilization, and unit lifespan risk. This overcomes the limitations of traditional static constraints or fixed-ratio scheduling, enabling simultaneous optimization of unit lifespan management and grid frequency regulation capability. It is particularly suitable for operating environments with high renewable energy penetration and intensified frequency fluctuations, significantly improving scheduling foresight, system security, and economy.

[0051] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that the remaining frequency modulation capability includes the remaining up-modulation capability and the remaining down-modulation capability, specifically: The formula for calculating the remaining up-frequency capability is as follows: ; The formula for calculating the remaining down-modulation frequency capability is as follows: ; in, Indicates the first The rated maximum output power of the generator set Indicates the first The rated minimum output power of the generator set.

Use the initial target frequency regulation power of each generator set as the initial solution of the multi-objective optimization model.

[0053] In solving the S43 variables, the initial target frequency regulation power of each generator set is used as the initial solution of the multi-objective optimization model, and the multi-objective optimization model is solved iteratively.

[0054] In this embodiment, by quantifying the remaining frequency regulation capabilities of each generating unit and allocating initial target power proportionally according to the current grid frequency regulation direction and demand, the frequency regulation task allocation is precisely matched with the actual adjustable capabilities of the generating units. This avoids scheduling deviations caused by fixed proportions or experience-based allocations, improving frequency regulation response speed and system power utilization efficiency. Simultaneously, the allocated initial target power is used as the initial solution for the multi-objective optimization model, ensuring that iterative solutions start from reasonable initial values, reducing local optimum traps, improving the convergence speed of the optimization algorithm and the likelihood of finding the global optimum, thus enhancing the scientific rigor and reliability of the frequency regulation strategy.

Based on the energy storage data of the energy storage system, the current grid frequency regulation demand, and the remaining frequency regulation capacity of each generator unit, the multi-objective optimization model is solved by an optimization algorithm, and the target frequency regulation strategy is output. The frequency modulation strategy execution module is used to execute the obtained target frequency modulation strategy.

[0056] This application constructs a unit operation fatigue index and a hydraulic transient risk model, quantifying operational risks such as the number of start-ups and shutdowns, power regulation amplitude, guide vane opening changes, and head fluctuations into attenuable regulation capabilities. This enables dynamic quantification of the unit's state. Compared with existing optimization methods that rely solely on remaining life prediction as a constraint, this application uses the quantified regulation capabilities as optimization resources to participate in frequency regulation decisions. This allows small disturbances to avoid frequent start-ups and shutdowns, while large disturbances can fully utilize the unit's remaining regulation capabilities, achieving synchronous optimization of unit life management and frequency regulation response.
