Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated energy system dispatching technology, specifically to a low-carbon dispatching method based on carbon price signals for electricity-to-ammonia conversion and demand response. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of the "dual carbon" goals, integrated energy systems have become the core carrier for integrating renewable energy, fossil fuels, and new energy storage. Ammonia energy, due to its high hydrogen storage density and zero-carbon combustion characteristics, is widely used in integrated energy systems for carbon reduction; however, existing technologies suffer from the following key drawbacks: (1) Lack of coordination between ammonia energy and demand response: Existing ammonia energy utilization research focuses on the energy flow characteristics of a single device (such as the efficiency optimization of ammonia production by water electrolysis), and has not established a dynamic coupling mechanism between electricity-to-ammonia conversion and comprehensive demand response. When wind and solar power output fluctuates, it is impossible to link load regulation with ammonia energy production, resulting in low renewable energy consumption rate (wind and solar curtailment rates often exceed 15%). (2) Extensive utilization of waste heat from power-to-ammonia (P2A): The high-temperature waste heat generated during the power-to-ammonia (P2A) process (such as the P2A reactor outlet temperature reaching 400-500K) is mostly directly discharged without coordination with the heat load demand, resulting in waste of heat energy. At the same time, it is necessary to start an additional gas boiler (GB) to supply the heat load, increasing carbon emissions and operating costs. (3) Disconnection between carbon trading and scheduling strategies: The existing scheduling scheme does not combine the tiered carbon trading mechanism to dynamically adjust the ratio of ammonia and coal co-firing. When carbon prices fluctuate, it is impossible to balance carbon costs and fossil energy consumption costs, resulting in a total system cost increase of more than 8% or insufficient carbon emission reduction effect (carbon emission reduction rate <10%). (4) Lack of a suitable dynamic incentive model: The existing schemes do not effectively incentivize multiple stakeholders to participate in integrated energy dispatch, resulting in low user participation in IDR (Integrated Demand Response), and the existing schemes do not consider multiple stakeholders; (5) Adaptation challenges brought about by the increase in wind and solar penetration: my country’s wind and solar penetration increases by 5%-8% annually, and the regional comprehensive energy curtailment rate may exceed 20% by 2025. The existing dispatch schemes can no longer meet the “demand for carbon reduction and economic balance under the dual carbon targets”.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a low-carbon scheduling method that can achieve deep synergy between electricity-to-ammonia conversion, demand response, and carbon trading, and to establish a multi-stakeholder dynamic incentive model to improve IDR user participation and fill the gaps in existing technologies.

[0019] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0020] The core of this invention lies in constructing a "tiered collaborative rule triggered by carbon price stratification." This involves dynamically matching source-side (electricity-to-ammonia conversion, ammonia-coal co-firing, energy storage) and load-side (integrated demand response) resources through carbon price signals, and combining this with particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to achieve the optimal solution for the carbon price determination interval threshold. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The technical solution of the present invention specifically includes the following steps: Step S1: Construct mathematical models of the core system equipment, including: 1. Dynamic coupling model of electro-ammonia conversion (P2A) - ammonia energy storage - ammonia-coal co-firing (1) Power constraints for electro-ammonia conversion: In the formula, where The overall efficiency of P2A is 67%-72%. For hydrogen production power by water electrolysis, The nitrogen production power is determined by air separation, and : =3:1 (based on) (Reaction stoichiometry), when wind and solar power output fluctuations exceed 20%. : Dynamically adjusted within the range of 2.8:1 to 3.2:1; (2) Dynamic constraints of ammonia energy storage: In the formula, ammonia energy storage in state of charge (20% ≤ ≤80%) , The ammonia charging and discharging efficiencies are 90% and 88%, respectively. This refers to the ammonia energy storage discharge power (i.e., the ammonia consumption power of the coal-fired unit). (3) Coupling constraints of ammonia-coal co-combustion: In the formula, This refers to the coal consumption of coal-fired power units. ammonia consumption power ( = ), , The lower heating values are 18.6 MJ / kg for ammonia and 29.3 MJ / kg for coal. For coal-fired power units, the efficiency is 42%-45%, and the ammonia doping rate K(t) = / ( + (10%≤K(t)≤30%).
[0021] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a dynamic coupling flow chart of an embodiment of the present invention, which includes an electro-ammonia-ammonia energy storage-ammonia-coal co-combustion. The process involves driving an electrolytic water (EL) unit to produce hydrogen and an air separation unit (ASU) to produce nitrogen. The hydrogen and nitrogen then enter the electro-ammonia (P2A) unit to synthesize ammonia. The synthesized ammonia is injected into the ammonia energy storage system for storage. The energy storage system releases ammonia to the coal-fired power unit according to scheduling needs, achieving co-combustion of ammonia and coal. Part of the heat energy generated by combustion is used to generate electricity for the steam turbine generator unit, and the other part is directly supplied to the heat load. Simultaneously, the real-time state of charge (SOC) of the ammonia energy storage is fed back to the front end for dynamic adjustment of the synthesized power of the P2A unit.
[0022] 2. Dynamic IDR model considering thermal comfort-incentive price (1) Electrical load regulation constraint: transferable electrical load ≤ 0.6× ( (Total electrical load), interruptible electrical load ≤ 0.15× ; (2) Heat load regulation constraints (related to thermal comfort): In the formula, Let t be the actual heat load (kW) at time t. The predicted heat load (kW) at time t. Let t be the outdoor temperature. For the user's indoor temperature (16℃≤ ≤24℃), Set the temperature (default 20℃). Thermal comfort correction factor (0.05 for residential, 0.04 for commercial, 0.02 for industrial; the larger the temperature deviation, the greater the load correction). The outdoor temperature compensation coefficient is 0.02, when Start when the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius to avoid a sudden drop in indoor temperature at low temperatures. When the temperature is below -10℃, the thermal comfort limit range is widened to 15-25℃. The coefficient has been increased to 0.03 to avoid user discomfort caused by adjusting the heat load at low temperatures.
[0023] (3) Dynamic incentive price model (incentive adjustment layer): ① User response rate reflects the degree of user engagement with IDR in the past: In the formula, n represents the number of IDR calls in the past three months. This represents the response validity coefficient for the i-th call (1 for a successful response, 0.5 for a partial response, and 0 for no response). This represents the actual interruptible load (KW) of the user in the i-th call. The theoretical maximum interruptible load (KW) of the user in the i-th call is determined based on the user's load characteristics. The value ranges from [0.6, 1.0]. Values below 0.6 are considered low-response users and require stronger incentives; values above 0.9 are considered "high-response users" and incentives can be appropriately reduced.
[0024] ②Calculation of IDR compensation price: = In the formula, The interruptible load compensation price at time t is (RMB / kW·h). The basic compensation price (RMB / kW·h). For users' historical response rates, Response rate rating coefficient User type coefficients (residential 1.2, commercial 1.0, industrial 0.8), Let t be the carbon price (yuan / ton). The carbon price impact coefficient is 0.01. The low response excitation coefficient is 0.005 (the lower the response rate, the greater the compensation increase).
[0025] (4) Calculation of load adjustment (related to thermal comfort and response rate): In the formula, Let t be the transferable electrical load (kW) for commercial users. Thermal comfort impact factor ( The value is 1 in the core interval, 0.5 in the extreme interval, and 0 outside the extreme interval. The influence rate influence coefficient ( ≥0.9 is taken as 1.0, 0.7≤ <0.9, take 0.8. (<0.7, take 0.6). Let t be the actual electrical load of the commercial user.
[0026] 3. Tiered carbon trading cost model Under tiered emissions trading, Emissions are divided into different ranges, when When the carbon emission share of the system participating in the carbon trading market is negative, it means that the system's carbon emissions are lower than the standard amount. In this case, the remaining share can be sold at a prescribed price in the corresponding trading center to obtain a certain subsidy. The carbon trading cost can be expressed as the following piecewise function: In the formula, This indicates the cost of tiered carbon trading; This represents the benchmark price for carbon trading; d represents the length of the carbon emission range. Price increase rate. Benchmark price. The default price is 50 yuan / ton, the carbon emission range length d is 500 tons by default, and the price increase rate is... The default value is 0.2, which is compatible with the mainstream parameters of my country's current carbon trading market. Appropriate carbon trading benchmark pricing and reasonable range length settings can promote a synergistic effect between the system's economic performance and carbon emissions.
[0027] Step S2: Use the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to find the optimal solution for the carbon price determination interval threshold and match it with the cooperative strategy. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 ; The core objective is to introduce the PSO algorithm to find the optimal solution for the carbon price range threshold based on a fixed range of high, low, and medium carbon prices (assuming the upper limit of the low carbon price is...). The lower limit of high carbon price is This system aims to maximize its overall benefits and is primarily suited for cold northern regions, high wind and solar penetration scenarios, and industrial parks with strict equipment constraints.
[0028] 1. Objective function construction (maximizing overall benefits) Using "comprehensive system benefits" as the objective function, integrating carbon reduction gains, cost savings, and comfort penalties, the formula is: (in the formula) These are the parameters to be optimized in the PSO algorithm. In each iteration, the fitness F of the objective function is calculated, and the weights are fine-tuned with a perturbation step size of 0.05. When the change in fitness F is less than 0.1%, the final optimal weight coefficients are output. (1) Carbon reduction benefit sub-function: In the formula, For system carbon quotas (unit: tons), Actual carbon emissions (tons / day, emissions vary depending on the range). Actual carbon price (RMB / ton) (2) Economic cost subfunction: In the formula, The baseline cost without optimization is 1.2 million yuan / day. The optimized actual cost (ten thousand yuan / day, including coal cost) P2A power consumption cost IDR compensation costs ) (3) Thermal comfort penalty function: In the formula, This represents the total number of scheduling cycles (288 five-minute cycles are taken for daily scheduling). Let t be the indoor temperature of the user. When the temperature is ≤2°C, the penalty is 0; otherwise, the penalty is accumulated based on the degree of deviation. The penalty for indoor temperatures deviating from the core range (18-22°C) is calculated to avoid excessively sacrificing user experience. 2. Constructing constraints (to ensure the solution is feasible) (1) P2A gradeability constraint: in, The rated power of the P2A equipment is 0.2, and the ramp-up ratio is 0.2. (2) SOC constraint of ammonia energy storage: In the formula, (3) Ammonia doping rate constraint: K(t) = / ( + ()( = ) In the formula, (10%≤K(t)≤30%) (4) Indoor temperature constraints: 16℃≤ ≤24℃, relaxed to 16℃ in northern regions during winter. ≤25℃ (5) IDR response rate constraint: ≥0.6 (6) Power balance: in, Let t be the output power of the wind turbine. Let be the output electrical power of the photoelectric generator at time t. Let t be the power consumption of device P2A. Let be the electrical load power of the system at time t. Let t be the electrical power consumed by the air separation ammonia production equipment. Let t be the charging power of the energy storage device. Let t be the discharge power of the energy storage device at time t; (7) Thermal power balance: in, Let be the waste heat power generated by device P2A at time t. Let t be the heating power of the coal-fired unit. Let t be the heating capacity of the gas-fired boiler (GB). Let be the system's heat load power at time t. Let t be the charging power of the thermal energy storage device. Let t be the discharge power of the thermal energy storage device at time t.
[0029] 3. The design of the PSO algorithm solution process is as follows: (1) Initialize the particle swarm and parameters 50 groups of particles are randomly generated. , Each group of particles must satisfy 30≤ ≤60, 120≤ ≤180 and < Initialize the velocity of each particle ( , The speed range is [ , Import basic data: wind and solar power output forecasts, load data, and equipment parameters (such as P2A rated power of 80MW and ammonia storage of 500MWh).
[0030] Speed update formula: In the formula: k is the current iteration number, , To increase the randomness of the search by using random numbers in the range [0,1], if... > ,but Conversely, take - , Similarly.
[0031] Dynamic weighted calculation model: in, =0.7 (low carbon price range, global search weight, prioritize expanding the solution space to find the low cost threshold). =0.5 (medium carbon price range, balancing search weights, taking into account both carbon reduction and the economy). =0.3 (High carbon price space, local search weight, focusing on fine-tuning the optimal threshold for carbon reduction). =250 yuan / ton (carbon price ceiling, adapted to future carbon market price fluctuations). The price is the real-time carbon price (RMB / ton). / This is the optimal threshold for the current iteration.
[0032] Position update formula: + + In the formula: if <30, then =30, if >60 then take 60. Similarly ( ). > Then the emphasis is on adjustment = (Ensure that the intervals do not overlap).
[0033] (2) Calculate the fitness (objective function value) of each particle. An intelligent fitness function is introduced to dynamically adjust the weights of carbon reduction, economy, and comfort objectives: (3) Dividing carbon price zones: according to , The real-time carbon price λ is divided into three intervals, and corresponding source-load coordination strategies are matched accordingly. (4) Calculate the objective function value: Based on the strategy execution result, calculate quickly. , , Substituting into the objective function, we get (5) Constraint determination: If a particle violates the constraint, then... Imposing penalties ensures the feasibility of a solution. (6) Updating individual optimality and global optimality: Individual optimality (pbest) update is performed on each particle, if the current fitness is... Historical best fitness = Record the corresponding threshold ( , The global optimal (gbest) update is achieved across all particles. Choose the largest one. As gbest, record the corresponding threshold ( , ), that is, the current optimal carbon price range threshold. 4. Source-load matching mechanism (1) Low carbon price range: economic priority strategy Load-side regulation: Transfer over 60% of the available electrical load to low-price periods (00:00-05:00, price 0.358 yuan / kW·h), widening the comfort range for heat load to 16-24℃, and adjusting IDR compensation accordingly. The implementation of this measure raises the maximum allowable load transfer limit for industrial users to 0.7. Commercial users maintained at 0.6 Differentiated adaptation to load characteristics; Source-side adaptation: P2A power is controlled at 30%-50% of rated capacity, only absorbing surplus power from wind and solar power; ammonia doping rate K(t)≤10%, P2A waste heat is given priority to supply immediate heat load and is not stored.
[0034] (2) Medium carbon price range: carbon reduction-economic balance strategy Formula for calculating the absorption space: In the formula: , For interruptible / transferable power of heat load, The heat-to-electric conversion coefficient is used, with 80% allocated to P2A and 20% stored in electrical energy storage. Dynamic adjustment: P2A power is updated every 15 minutes to match wind and solar output; for every 20 yuan / ton increase in carbon price, the ammonia doping rate increases by 5% (maximum 25%); when P2A waste heat is ≥70% of heat demand, the heat load transfer rate is increased to 50%; when P2A waste heat supply is less than 30% of heat demand, the gas turbine (CHP) is started to supplement heat, and the CHP and P2A waste heat supply is prioritized over the gas boiler (GB).
[0035] (3) High carbon price range: carbon reduction priority strategy Source-side dominance: P2A power is increased to 80%-100% of rated capacity; if insufficient, it can consume up to 10% of conventional power; ammonia doping rate K(t) = 30%, and excess ammonia is stored in ammonia energy storage. (t)≥70%); P2A waste heat is fully stored in thermal energy storage and released to replace GB during peak heat periods (06:00-08:00, 18:00-20:00); Load-side coordination: The IDR compensation price is 30%-50% higher than the medium carbon price, and the interruptible load scale is expanded to 15% of the total load. During off-peak hours (00:00-05:00), 10%-15% of non-core heat loads (such as heating in public buildings) are interrupted. The upper limit of conventional electricity consumption shall not exceed 10% of the P2A rated capacity, and conventional electricity during off-peak hours shall be given priority to avoid increasing peak-hour electricity purchase costs.
[0036] Step S3, Real-time Monitoring and Deviation Correction, specifically includes: 1. Monitoring indicators: Curtailment rates (low carbon price ≤ 8%, medium carbon price 8%-10%, high carbon price ≤ 5%), carbon emissions (low carbon price ≤ 4500 tons, medium carbon price ≤ 3900 tons, high carbon price ≤ 3500 tons), safety margin (P2A ramp rate ≤ 20% / h), ≥16℃, energy storage SOC 20%-80%); 2. Adjustment strategy: (1) Safety boundary correction (highest priority): When the ammonia tank pressure is >1.2MPa, immediately reduce the P2A power by 30% / h and simultaneously increase the ammonia doping rate by 5% / h. Within 10 minutes, control the pressure below 1.0MPa; when the P2A ramp rate is >20% / h, the power reduction shall not exceed 15% in a single instance.
[0037] (2) Thermal comfort correction: When the temperature is below 16℃, first reduce the non-core heat load transfer rate by 20%. If the temperature does not rise within 15 minutes, start GB supplementary heating (supplementary heating power = heat load gap × 1.2).
[0038] (3) Environmental protection indicator correction: When the wind curtailment rate exceeds the standard, increase the P2A power by 10% or increase the IDR transfer amount by 15%; when carbon emissions exceed the standard, increase the ammonia doping rate by 5% or expand the IDR interruptible scale by 5%; when both the wind curtailment rate and carbon emissions exceed the standard, prioritize increasing the ammonia doping rate by 5%, and then increase the P2A power by 10%. (4) Economic indicator correction: When the total cost increase is greater than 5% under high carbon price, reduce P2A conventional electricity consumption to within 5% and increase IDR interruptible load scale by 5%.
[0039] Step S4: Output the scheduling scheme, which specifically includes: Based on the above execution results, the real-time operating parameters of each device (P2A power, ammonia doping rate, IDR adjustment) and the system's economic and environmental indicators (total cost, carbon emissions) are output to form a closed-loop scheduling; if the scheduling cycle has not ended, the output parameters are fed back to the parameter acquisition stage for scheduling in the next time period.
[0040] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This invention demonstrates the dynamic optimization process of Integrated Demand Response (IDR). First, it comprehensively collects user basic data, real-time system operation data, and historical response data. Based on this data, the system performs parallel assessments of user indoor thermal comfort impact and user response rate prediction. Then, a decision-making node verifies whether the thermal comfort index and user response rate simultaneously meet preset conditions. If not, a feedback optimization loop is initiated, dynamically adjusting the IDR compensation excitation parameters and correcting the prediction model. Subsequently, a new assessment and prediction are performed, forming an internal iterative optimization process. If the assessment meets the criteria, a specific IDR load adjustment instruction is generated, and the system enters the strategy execution and real-time monitoring phase. Key data during execution is continuously collected and fed back to the system. Finally, verified and effective strategy parameters are archived and stored to update the historical database, thus forming a closed-loop optimization mechanism covering the entire process of "data input - assessment and prediction - decision-making - strategy generation - execution monitoring - feedback archiving." This process is the core of realizing the "dynamic IDR model considering thermal comfort and user response rate" and the "multi-dimensional deviation correction mechanism," ensuring that load adjustment effectively protects user comfort and energy experience while improving system flexibility.
[0041] The low-carbon dispatching method provided by this invention has been applied and verified in a comprehensive energy demonstration zone in northern China. The specific composition and key parameters of this demonstration system are as follows: wind power installed capacity is 150MW, with an annual utilization of 2200 hours; photovoltaic installed capacity is 100MW, with an annual utilization of 1600 hours. The system's conventional power sources include a 300MW coal-fired unit with a power generation efficiency of 43%; a 100MW gas-fired combined heat and power unit with an efficiency of 85%; and a 50MW gas-fired boiler with an efficiency of 90%. The rated power of the electro-ammonia conversion equipment is 80MW, with a comprehensive efficiency of 70%; the supporting ammonia energy storage system has a capacity of 500MWh, with a permissible state-of-charge (SOC) range of 20% to 80%. The system's annual electricity load is approximately 1.2 billion kWh, with a peak-to-valley ratio of 3.2:1; the annual heat load is approximately 800 million kWh, with a peak winter heat load reaching 40MW. The market parameters are set as follows: the time-of-use electricity price is RMB 0.358 / kW·h during the period from 00:00 to 05:00, and RMB 1.031 / kW·h during the periods from 09:00 to 13:00 and from 17:00 to 22:00; the natural gas price is RMB 2.37-3.52 / cubic meter; the carbon price fluctuates within the range of RMB 50-200 / ton; and the basic compensation price for demand response is RMB 2 / kW·h.
[0042] The implementation process and effects at different carbon price levels are as follows: In the low carbon price scenario (λ=45 yuan / ton), the optimal carbon price range thresholds calculated by the particle swarm optimization algorithm are λ1=45 yuan / ton and λ2=155 yuan / ton. During implementation, 40MW of electrical load was transferred to off-peak hours through demand response, and 25MW of thermal load was set as transferable load. The power of the power-to-ammonia conversion equipment was maintained at 32MW (approximately 40% of its rated capacity) and used only to absorb the surplus power of wind and solar power generation. In this scenario, the wind and solar curtailment rate was 7.2%. The implementation results are: the total system operating cost was reduced by 9.5%, carbon emissions were reduced by 7.8%, and the load curve fluctuations were effectively smoothed, reducing the peak-to-valley difference of the system.
[0043] Under the medium carbon price scenario (λ=100 yuan / ton), the optimized thresholds are λ1=48 yuan / ton and λ2=142 yuan / ton. During implementation, the calculated wind and solar power consumption space ΔP_space is 58MW, of which 50MW is allocated to the electricity-to-ammonia conversion equipment (its power is correspondingly increased to 50MW), and 8MW is stored in the electric energy storage system. The ammonia doping rate in ammonia-coal co-firing is increased to 20%, resulting in a 12% reduction in coal consumption for coal-fired units. The implementation results are: a 13.2% reduction in total system cost and a 20.5% reduction in carbon emissions.
[0044] In a high carbon price scenario (λ = 200 yuan / ton), the optimized thresholds are λ1 = 52 yuan / ton and λ2 = 138 yuan / ton. During implementation, the power of the power-to-ammonia conversion equipment was maintained at 72MW (approximately 90% of its rated capacity). To compensate for the shortfall in wind and solar power generation, an additional 6MW of conventional grid power was consumed. The demand response compensation price was increased to 3.6 yuan / kW·h, and the scale of interruptible load regulation was expanded to 45MW. Simultaneously, 30MW of waste heat was released from thermal energy storage to replace the gas boiler. The results showed that the total system cost increased slightly by 3.8%, but carbon emissions were significantly reduced by 38.2%.
