[0029] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an electric energy-inertia cooperative optimization scheduling method that takes into account frequency security constraints, including the following steps:

[0031] Step 1: Determine the system inertia requirement based on system test results or power grid requirements;

[0032] Step 2: Establish system frequency security constraints based on system inertia requirements and unit inertia supply characteristics;

[0033] Step 3: Based on the basic unit scheduling model, with the goal of optimizing the power grid economy, and according to the system frequency security constraints, establish an energy-inertia collaborative optimization scheduling model that takes into account the frequency security constraints;

[0034] Step 4: Configure the generator output according to the electric energy-inertia collaborative optimization scheduling model that takes into account frequency safety constraints.

[0035] In step 1, the system inertia requirement index is determined based on system test results or grid requirements. my country's "Technical Requirements for Power System Inertia Support and Primary Frequency Regulation Capability" specifies that when the synchronous grid loses 10% of its load capacity, the system inertia constant... It should be no less than 1.5s.

[0036] In step 2, based on the system inertia requirements and the unit's inertia supply characteristics, system frequency security constraints are established:

[0037] The formulas for calculating the system's equivalent inertial time constant and equivalent kinetic energy are as follows:

[0038]

[0039]

[0040] In the formula, The system's equivalent inertial time constant. For the system's equivalent kinetic energy, The total rated capacity of the system connected to the grid. The total kinetic energy of the synchronizing machine. The equivalent total kinetic energy of the virtual inertia of new energy sources. This is the total kinetic energy in other forms.

[0041] The inertia of a generator set should be characterized by the generator set's inertial time constant, and the calculation formula is as follows: where, The generator set's inertial time constant. For the kinetic energy of the generator set, Rated capacity of generator set

[0042]

[0043] Inertial time constant With inertial constant The relationship is:

[0044]

[0045] Thus, the system's inertial constant is obtained. The calculation formula is as follows, where For the first The inertial constant of the Taiwanese generator set, For the first Rated capacity of the unit.

[0046]

[0047] To ensure the safe and stable operation of the system, the system frequency safety constraint is as follows: (The system inertia constant is required to be no less than 1.5s.)

[0048]

[0049] In step 3, based on the basic unit scheduling model and with the goal of optimizing the power grid economy, an energy-inertia collaborative optimization scheduling model that takes into account the frequency security constraints is established.

[0050] (31) Objective function

[0051]

[0052] In the objective function Represents the total cost within the scheduling period. Used to characterize the total number of units in the system Number of time periods Representing the The coal consumption function of a Taiwanese thermal power unit It is the coal consumption rate coefficient of the unit. Representing the Taiwanese unit in The magnitude of the actual output power within the time period, Representing the Taiwanese unit in Startup costs over a period of time Representing the Taiwanese unit in Downtime costs during the period In the first The opportunity cost incurred by the new energy unit due to the reduction in maximum output when providing virtual inertia within a time period is expressed as the product of the virtual inertia constant of the new energy unit and the unit opportunity cost.

[0053] (32) Node power constraints:

[0054]

[0055] Represents the susceptance matrix of network nodes. The bus voltage angle, This represents the total number of nodes in the system. In this model, reactive power is not considered; only active power flow constraints are taken into account. This constraint ensures that, in each time period, the load demand of each node in the system remains balanced with the total power generation of the connected units, thereby guaranteeing the power system's supply and demand balance.

[0056] (33) Branch power flow safety constraints:

[0057]

[0058] During power system operation, to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system, it is necessary to constrain the power flow of each transmission line. In the formula... Indicates transmission line During the period Active power transmitted internally. This represents the maximum power allowed to flow through the transmission line, where L is the total number of transmission lines. This constraint ensures that the active power transmitted by each transmission line at any given time does not exceed its safe current-carrying limit, thereby effectively preventing system failures caused by line overload and promoting the safe and reliable operation of the power system.

[0059] (34) Upper and lower limits of unit output constraints:

[0060]

[0061] Let be a binary state variable, representing the first... The generator set was at the Start / stop status for a time period (1 indicates running, 0 indicates stopping). and They represent the first The upper and lower limits of the unit's output are specified. Exceeding the limits may cause equipment damage.

[0062] (35) Unit start-up and shutdown time constraints:

[0063]

[0064] Before a generating unit can be shut down, it must meet the minimum startup time requirement; similarly, before being connected to the grid, it must meet the minimum shutdown time requirement. and Representing the Minimum start-up and shutdown time for the unit.

[0065] (36) Unit ramp rate constraint:

[0066]

[0067] and Representing the first The maximum ramp rate and maximum descent rate of the generator set are the upper limits of the increase or decrease in the unit's output power per unit time. and Representing the Minimum output power limits for each generating unit during startup and shutdown. Due to the physical characteristics and operating patterns of power generation equipment, units cannot achieve instantaneous power surges. To reflect this actual operating characteristic, constraints must be imposed on the power change rate of each unit to ensure that it varies within a safe and controllable range. Furthermore, there are also power output limits during start-up and shutdown: the maximum initial output power when the unit transitions from a shutdown state to startup. Conversely, when a unit is preparing to shut down, its power reduction must also follow the guidelines. These and other relevant constraints ensure the stability and safety of the unit's operation.

[0068] (37) Unit start-up and shutdown cost constraints:

[0069]

[0070] In the formula, and Corresponding to the first The startup and shutdown costs of the generating unit. The unit's power generation cost includes not only regular operating costs, but also additional costs for each startup and shutdown operation. Specifically, when the binary variable representing the unit's operating status changes from 0 to 1, it means the unit has completed the grid-connected startup process; when the binary variable representing the unit's operating status decreases from 1 to 0, it indicates that the unit has entered a grid-off shutdown state.

[0071] In step 4, based on the power-inertia collaborative optimization scheduling model that takes into account frequency safety constraints, the generator output and inertia supply are configured to achieve optimal configuration of the units.

[0072] This example uses a modified IEEE 30-node system as a computational example for verification. The modified IEEE 30-node system is as follows: Figure 2As shown, the system includes six traditional thermal power generating units, one wind turbine generating unit and one photovoltaic generating unit capable of providing virtual inertia, and one wind turbine generating unit and one photovoltaic generating unit unable to provide virtual inertia. Table 1 shows the operating parameters of different generating units. Units 1-6 are thermal power generating units, and units 7-8 are photovoltaic and wind turbine generating units capable of providing virtual inertia. When providing virtual inertia, their maximum output is reduced to 90% of the original. The rated capacities of the photovoltaic and wind turbine generating units unable to provide virtual inertia are 200MW and 300MW, respectively. Total load, wind power, and photovoltaic output are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0075] contrast Figure 4 , Figure 5 It can be seen that after adding frequency safety constraints, the unit start-up and shutdown combination changes, and the start-up unit 6 is replaced by unit 4 with a larger start-up inertia constant. In addition, the new energy unit provides virtual inertia to supplement the physical inertia at some times, thereby improving the system inertia level. The system inertia constant at each time meets the minimum inertia constant requirement.
