Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automatic generation control technology for power systems, specifically a deep peak shaving control method involving AGC (Automatic Generation Control) units. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous grid connection of large-scale, fluctuating renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, the peak-to-valley difference in the net load curve of the power system is widening, posing unprecedented challenges to the system's peak-shaving capacity. Deep peak shaving, which requires conventional thermal power units to reduce their active power to levels far below their minimum design technical output, has become a key means of absorbing excess renewable energy power during off-peak periods.

[0003] Currently, existing technologies generally lack quantitative assessment of the overall operating status of generating units. The deep peak-shaving plan commands issued by the dispatching system (typically slow-changing) and the real-time adjustment commands generated by the AGC system (requiring rapid response) are essentially two different sources of commands with different time scales and control objectives. Existing technologies typically simply superimpose them or select one for execution, failing to dynamically adjust based on the real-time operating status of the unit. This limits the unit's regulation performance when operating conditions are relatively good, and may not provide sufficient protection when operating conditions deteriorate. The failure to achieve intelligent fusion and dynamic balancing of the two commands based on the unit's real-time operating health status makes it difficult to simultaneously achieve the economic efficiency, safety, and grid support capabilities of unit operation under the extreme condition of deep peak shaving.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the process of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 A deep peak-shaving control method involving AGC units includes the following steps:

[0031] S1: Receives deep peak shaving demand instructions from the power grid dispatching system and real-time adjustment instructions from the automatic generation control system (AGC). The deep peak shaving demand instructions from the power grid dispatching system include the planned power generation allocated to the generating units, and the real-time adjustment instructions from the automatic generation control system include the real-time adjusted power generation allocated to the generating units.

[0032] Deep peak shaving demand instructions from the power grid dispatching system explicitly require specific generating units to reduce their power to a certain low level during a specific period. The purpose is to make room for the absorption of renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics, which have zero marginal cost, and to maximize the economic benefits for the whole society. This instruction itself is also smooth and changes slowly, usually in 15-minute or 1-hour periods, with a planned power generation set for each period. It does not make second-level adjustments based on the instantaneous state of the power grid at that time. The core objective of the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) system is to maintain the power grid frequency and tie-line exchange power near the rated value. Its real-time adjustment instructions are issued in response to the real-time power imbalance of the power grid. This instruction will change rapidly and continuously according to fluctuations that may occur at any time, such as user electricity demand, renewable energy power generation, and large generator failures. Therefore, the real-time adjustment instructions of the AGC system are often adjusted at the second level.

The range of values ​​is When the real-time power generation The closer to optimal power And the wider the adjustable range, the better. hour, The closer it is to 1, the better the generating capacity of the unit. Deviation or When it narrows, The decrease directly reflects the shrinking adjustment margin available to the unit;

The range of values ​​is , The closer the value is to 1, the more stable the main steam pressure in the boiler is, and the stronger the dynamic ability of the unit to respond to external power commands; the closer the value is to 0, the greater the deviation of the main steam pressure in the boiler is, the more fragile the boiler energy balance is, and the more strictly the unit's adjustment actions need to be limited to ensure safety.

[0038] Step A2: Calculate the power level factor obtained in step A1. and main steam pressure deviation factor The weighted summation yields the comprehensive working condition coefficient. Its expression is as follows: , in, Indicates the power level factor; This represents the main steam pressure deviation factor; Indicates the weighting coefficient; comprehensive working condition coefficient. Used to reflect the overall operating status of the unit The higher the value, the healthier the overall operating status of the unit and the stronger its ability to respond to external power commands; conversely, the lower the value, the more fragile the unit is and the more conservative control strategies need to be adopted.

[0039] Step A3: Based on the comprehensive operating condition coefficient obtained in step A2 The operating mode of the generating unit is determined as follows:

[0040] When the comprehensive working condition coefficient When the second safety threshold is greater than or equal to the first safety threshold, it indicates that the unit is in excellent condition, and the operating condition is determined to be in free adjustment mode; when the second safety threshold is less than or equal to the comprehensive operating condition coefficient... When the value is less than the first safety threshold, it indicates that the unit is operating close to its limit, and the operating condition is determined to be a restricted control mode; when the comprehensive operating condition coefficient is... When the value is less than the second safety threshold, it indicates that the unit is operating close to its limit and the safety margin is extremely small. Stable operation should be the primary goal, and this is the stability maintenance mode.

[0041] S3: Based on the operating mode, dynamically assign weights to deep peak shaving demand commands and real-time adjustment commands, and determine the final execution command, including the following steps:

[0042] Step B1: Dynamically assign weights to deep peak shaving demand commands and real-time adjustment commands. The relevant expressions are as follows: , in, Indicates the weight of deep peak shaving demand instructions; This indicates that the command weights are adjusted in real time. This represents the slope coefficient, used to control the severity of weight shifting; Indicates the comprehensive operating condition coefficient; This represents the offset coefficient, used to determine the threshold for weight transfer; Represents an exponential function; The corresponding formula is an S-shaped function with a range of . When the comprehensive working condition coefficient When the temperature is low, meaning the overall operating condition of the unit is poor, When the comprehensive operating condition factor is close to 1, priority is given to tracking slowly changing deep peak-shaving demand commands to maintain stability; A higher level indicates that the overall operating condition of the unit is better. Reduced to make room for rapid real-time adjustment commands issued by AGC;

[0043] Step B2: Generate the final execution instruction, the expression of which is as follows: , in, This indicates the final power generation setpoint; and These represent the weights of deep peak shaving demand instructions and real-time adjustment instructions, respectively. This indicates the real-time power generation capacity of the generating unit; This indicates the deviation from the planned power generation capacity; This indicates the deviation in real-time adjustment of power generation;

[0045] Real-time adjustment of power generation deviation The expression is as follows: , in, This indicates real-time adjustment of power generation; This indicates the real-time power generation capacity of the generating unit;

[0046] S4: Will include the final power generation setpoint The final execution command is sent to the unit's distributed control system (DCS) for execution, and the actual power generation of the unit is recorded. and the comprehensive operating condition coefficient that reflects the operating status of the unit The operating conditions of the generating units are fed back to the power grid dispatching system, forming a closed loop. This provides dispatchers with real-time information on the adjustable capabilities of the generating units, thereby improving the transparency and intelligence of the entire power grid dispatching system.
