Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system dispatch and control technology, and more specifically, to a multi-day optimized dispatch method for compressed air energy storage for continuous extreme scenarios. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of the global energy transition, the integration of a high proportion of renewable energy into the grid has become an inevitable trend in power system development. The intermittency, volatility, and uncertainty of renewable energy output such as wind and solar power pose unprecedented challenges to the real-time power balance and safe and stable operation of the power system. Especially against the backdrop of frequent extreme weather events in recent years (such as continuous windless periods and extreme cold waves), the power system may face a continuous power shortage, posing a severe challenge to the reliability of system power supply.

[0003] Against this backdrop, energy storage technology, especially compressed air energy storage (CASS), with its large-scale and long-term energy storage capabilities, is widely considered one of the key supporting technologies for building new power systems. CASS is a large-scale physical energy storage technology that uses electricity to compress air and store it in gas storage facilities (such as salt caverns, abandoned mines, and artificial chambers), releasing the high-pressure air to drive turbines for power generation when needed. Currently, my country has built several megawatt-level CASS power plants, widely used on the power supply side, grid side, and user side. CASS systems offer advantages such as long storage time (typically several hours to tens of hours), high ramp-up flexibility, low cost, long lifespan, and environmental friendliness, making them suitable for addressing energy supply and load demand mismatches that last for several days and improving the system's renewable energy absorption capacity.

[0004] In the current technological field, research on optimization and control strategies for compressed air energy storage systems (CASS) largely focuses on intraday economic dispatch under ideal conditions, aiming to leverage the long-term energy storage value of CASS to smooth out renewable energy fluctuations. However, existing technologies fail to fully consider the constraints imposed on their operational boundaries by extreme scenarios such as extreme weather and prolonged energy shortages, and also lack refined modeling of key physical and operational characteristics in practical engineering. CASS systems are characterized by large capacity, long cycles, complex equipment coordination, and diverse physical constraints. These factors are crucial for the dispatch and control of CASS systems on long-term timescales such as weeks and days. Therefore, establishing a multi-day optimized dispatch method for CASS systems oriented towards continuous extreme scenarios is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

Step 6: Return to Step 2.

[0049] To verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and algorithm, a simulation example based on the IEEE 30-node system was designed. The mathematical model was constructed using MATLAB 2022b software, and the optimization problem was calculated using the Gurobi 10.0 solver. The computing platform was a personal computer equipped with an Intel Core i7-12700H processor and 32GB of RAM.

[0050] (1) Test system parameters The system comprises three traditional thermal power units (specific parameters are shown in Table 1), four wind farms with an installed capacity of 500MW each, and two photovoltaic power plants with an installed capacity of 500MW each. The system peak load is approximately 2000MW, and a standard weekly load curve is used. Both positive and negative spinning reserve requirements are 5% of the total system load and the system's loss-of-load value. C voll =5000 $ / MWh. The main parameters of the compressed air energy storage system are shown in Table 2.

[0051] Table 1. Parameters of conventional units in the test system

[0052] Table 2 Parameters of the Compressed Air Energy Storage System in the Test System

[0053] (2) Scene setting Scenario 1 (Baseline Scenario): Extreme weather conditions are not considered, and there is no compressed air energy storage power station connected.

[0054] Scenario 2: Connect to a compressed air energy storage power station, but ignore all unit combination operation constraints (i.e., no minimum operating time, start-stop count, etc.). Other conditions are the same as in Scenario 1.

[0055] Scenario 3: Connect to a compressed air energy storage power station, and fully consider the operational constraints of all types of units. Other conditions are the same as in Scenario 1.

[0056] Scenario 4: Cold Wave Weather Scenario. Between hours 96 and 120 of the scheduling cycle (i.e., day 4 to day 5), the load level surged to 110% of the forecast. γ high =1.1), while photovoltaic output dropped to 80% of rated capacity due to decreased efficiency at high temperatures and possible cloudy weather. ξ cloudy =0.8). Other conditions are the same as in scenario 3.

[0057] (3) Simulation results Table 3 shows the system operating costs under four different scenarios. Comparing the system operating costs of Scenario 1 with Scenarios 2 and 3, it can be seen that integrating a compressed air energy storage system can reduce the total system operating cost, save fuel costs and start-up and shutdown costs of conventional generator units, and improve the economic efficiency of system operation. Comparing Scenario 2 with Scenario 3, it can be seen that considering the constraints of generator unit combination, the operating cost of conventional generator units will increase, while the operating cost of the compressed air energy storage system will decrease, resulting in an overall increase in the total system operating cost. Comparing the system operating costs of Scenario 1 with Scenario 4, it can be seen that the total system operating cost will increase under extreme cold wave weather scenarios.

[0058] Table 3. Cost-effectiveness of the test system operation (Unit: 10) 3 $)

[0059] Figure 2 (a)-(b) illustrate the operational differences of compressed air energy storage before and after considering unit combination constraints. The results show that the optimization model that ignores unit combination constraints leads to frequent start-ups and shutdowns and rapid high-power charging and discharging in the compressed air energy storage power station, which increases equipment wear and reduces equipment lifespan. Although the total system cost increases slightly, the system's operational reliability and equipment safety can be significantly improved.

[0060] Figure 2 (b)-(c) visualized the operating status of the compressed air energy storage power station under normal weather and extreme cold wave scenarios in the test examples. It can be observed that under extreme cold wave conditions, the operating mode of the compressed air energy storage power station underwent a significant adaptive adjustment: the power station maintained a high-power charging state from 12:00 to 14:00, with a maximum charging power reaching 244.5MW, almost simultaneously reaching full-power charging. This adjustment was to quickly pre-store sufficient energy during periods of strong system power supply to cope with the upcoming extreme system load. When entering the extreme load period, the compressed air energy storage power station demonstrated strong peak support capabilities, with a maximum discharge power reaching 88.9MW. This centralized, high-capacity, long-duration discharge mode effectively compensated for the problem of a surge in system load caused by a decrease in photovoltaic unit output due to the cold wave.

[0061] Figure 3 This study compares the power generation dispatch results of the entire system under extreme cold wave weather, demonstrating the system balancing and strengthening role of compressed air energy storage (CAES) under extreme conditions. The results show that CAES plays an irreplaceable buffering and supporting role in coping with extreme weather impacts. This system faces severe challenges under extreme weather: air conditioning load surges dramatically during midday, resulting in a steep "peak" in the system's net load curve, with the peak load reaching 1.1 times that of normal weather. To meet this extreme demand, conventional units are forced to rapidly ramp up power in a short period, with some units even operating close to their maximum technical output limit, seriously threatening equipment safety and system stability. The CAES power station continuously discharges at high power during peak load periods, reducing the system's peak load by approximately 5%, effectively "smoothing" the load peak. Units that previously required frequent start-ups and shutdowns and extreme operation can now operate within a safer and more economical output range. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
