Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal-fired heating unit operation optimization technology, specifically to a commissioning method and system for the economical operation of an electric boiler auxiliary heating unit. Background Technology

[0002] With the deepening of power market reform, the participation of coal-fired power generating units in spot market competition has become an inevitable trend. In the spot market environment, electricity prices fluctuate significantly. While meeting heating demand, heating units also need to flexibly adjust their power generation output to respond to changes in market electricity prices, thereby improving economic returns.

[0003] However, traditional coal-fired heating units are constrained by the "heat-driven power generation" operation mode, with strong coupling between electricity and heat output, limited peak-shaving capacity, and difficulty in adapting to the high flexibility requirements of the spot market.

[0004] Currently, some power plants use electric boilers for auxiliary heating, improving unit operational flexibility through electrothermal decoupling. However, in the current spot market environment, a systematic solution has not yet been developed for the timing of electric boiler commissioning, power allocation, and optimization strategies for coordination with the main unit.

[0005] Existing technologies often only consider single operating conditions or fixed electricity price models, lacking dynamic optimization methods for fluctuations in spot market electricity prices, resulting in the failure to fully realize the economic benefits of electric boilers. In addition, the coordinated control strategies between electric boilers and generating units are insufficient, and simply putting electric boilers into operation or taking them out of operation may affect heating stability or increase operating costs.

[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need for an economical operation and commissioning strategy for electric boiler auxiliary heating units that adapts to the needs of the spot market. This strategy should dynamically optimize the timing of commissioning and power allocation of electric boilers to maximize the economic benefits of heating units in the spot market while ensuring heating reliability.

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings: See Figure 1 This invention provides a method for the economical commissioning of an auxiliary heating unit for electric boilers, comprising: Step 1: Obtain the operating data of the heating unit and fit and determine the boundaries of the electric heating safe operating domain of the heating unit. Specifically, the boundaries of the electrothermal safe operation domain include the boiler maximum evaporation capacity boundary, the boiler minimum evaporation capacity boundary, and the low-pressure cylinder minimum flow rate boundary, wherein the expressions for each boundary are as follows: Boiler maximum evaporation capacity boundary:

[0041] Step 2: Construct cost and benefit calculation functions for the coupled electric boiler of the heating unit based on the boundaries of each boundary of the electric heating safety operation domain of the heating unit; Specifically, the cost and revenue calculation functions for heating units coupled with electric boilers include functions for calculating electricity sales revenue, heating revenue, the relationship between electricity and heat from the electric boiler, and coal cost.

[0042] The following function is constructed to calculate the electricity sales revenue of a single generating unit, based on the on-grid electricity price at a certain moment in the spot market:

[0043] In the formula, Revenue from selling electricity to the grid, expressed in yuan / hour; This refers to the on-grid electricity price in the spot market, expressed as RMB / MWh. For the electrical load of the heating unit, MW; The function for calculating heating revenue is as follows:

[0044] In the formula, Heating revenue per hour is calculated based on the heat load. Heat load, MW; The heating price is in yuan / GJ. Based on the capacity and electric heating efficiency of the electric boiler in the thermal power plant, the following function is constructed to calculate the electrothermal relationship of the electric boiler:

[0045] In the formula, The electric heating efficiency of the electric boiler is expressed in yuan / h. The heat load of the electric boiler is in MW. The power load of the electric boiler is measured in MW. The coal cost calculation function includes a coal consumption calculation formula and a coal cost calculation formula. The coal consumption calculation formula is as follows:

[0046] In the formula, The coal consumption of the heating unit under electrical and thermal loads, in tons per hour (t / h). These are the correlation coefficients; Based on coal prices, the coal consumption cost of a single unit under a given power and heat load is calculated as follows:

[0047] In the formula, Cost of coal, in yuan / hour; Price is the unit price of coal, in yuan / ton.

[0048] Step 3: Combine the boundaries of the electric heating safe operation domain of the heating unit and the cost and benefit calculation functions of the coupled electric boiler of the heating unit to establish the electric-thermal coupling net benefit calculation model of the heating unit and the electric boiler. Specifically, the heating unit is operating at a heat load of Under these circumstances, the generating load of the unit There are upper and lower limits; the electrical load is not greater than The lower limit of electrical load shall not be lower than and When the on-grid electricity price in the spot electricity market is high, heating units generate electricity at their maximum capacity while ensuring heating supply, thus maximizing profits, and electric boilers are not put into operation. Conversely, when the on-grid electricity price in the spot electricity market is low, the less electricity generated by the units, the greater the net profit, while ensuring heating supply. By operating electric boilers, some of the low-priced electricity is converted into heat for sale, while simultaneously reducing the generating load of the units, thereby maximizing net profits.

[0049] When the electricity price in the spot market is At that time, under the premise of ensuring heating supply, the heat load is The net revenue of the heating unit when the electric boiler is not in operation is calculated as follows:

[0050] In the formula, The net revenue of the heating unit when the electric boiler is not in operation is expressed in yuan / h. The revenue from electricity sales by the heating unit is yuan / h; The heating revenue of the heating unit is expressed in yuan / hour. The cost of coal for the heating unit is yuan / hour; After the electric boiler is put into operation, the heat load will still be guaranteed to be [value missing]. At this time, the net power generation load of the heating unit after deducting the power consumption load of the electric boiler is... Reduced to ( ), coal consumption from Reduced to In this case, the net revenue of the heating unit is calculated as follows:

[0051] In the formula, The net revenue of the heating unit after the electric boiler is put into operation is expressed in yuan / h. The minimum power generation load (MW) of the heating unit + electric boiler as a whole after the electric boiler is put into operation; The amount of coal consumed by the heating unit at the lowest power generation load of the heating unit and the electric boiler as a whole after the electric boiler is put into operation, in t / h, under the premise of ensuring heating supply. Among them, the heat load is At that time, the minimum electrical load of the heating unit is:

[0052] In the formula, The minimum electrical load for the heating unit's heat load, in MW; Given the operating load of the electric boiler Substitute into the following formula to calculate the minimum power generation load of the heating unit + electric boiler after the electric boiler is put into operation. : .

[0053] Step 4: Based on the electric-thermal coupling net benefit calculation model, calculate the difference in net benefit between the electric boiler in operation and in operation, and determine the criteria for putting the electric boiler into operation. Specifically, calculate the difference in net revenue between the unit before and after the electric boiler is put into operation. :

[0054] In the formula, The difference in net revenue between heating units with and without electric boilers in operation, expressed in yuan / h; The conditions for putting an electric boiler into operation are determined based on the net revenue before and after its commissioning: if the net revenue increases after the electric boiler is put into operation, the strategy of putting the electric boiler into operation is adopted; otherwise, the electric boiler is not put into operation. Based on this, the following criteria for putting an electric boiler into operation are obtained: .

[0055] Step 5: Calculate the net revenue under different spot market electricity prices and different operating power of electric boilers based on the electric boiler commissioning criteria, and determine the critical electricity price for electric boiler commissioning; Specifically, calculations were performed using on-grid electricity prices from a series of different spot electricity markets to obtain two sets of curves: net profit minus the spot electricity price for electric boilers not in operation and those with electric boilers in operation. and The intersection of the curves is calculated to obtain the critical electricity price for the commissioning of the electric boiler of the heating unit. When the market spot electricity price is lower than the critical price, the electric boiler will be put into operation; otherwise, it will not be put into operation. The corresponding critical price is calculated as follows:

[0056] Under critical electricity price conditions, single electric boilers are put into operation until... At the same time, the net profit of the heating unit with and without the electric boiler in operation is equal; and when the electric boiler's operating power is 0, that is, when the electric boiler is not in operation, its effect is also equal to the net profit of not operating it; between 0 and There exists an optimal operating power for electric boilers within this range. , can make Reaching the maximum ; Step 6: Using an optimization algorithm, with the goal of maximizing the overall net benefit after the electric boiler is put into operation, calculate the optimal operating power of the electric boiler and form an electric boiler operation strategy.

[0057] Specifically, an optimization model is constructed with the operating power of the electric boiler as the optimization variable and the overall net profit of the heating unit combined with the electric boiler after its commissioning as the objective function. The model includes the objective function and constraints, where the objective function is as follows:

[0058] The constraints are as follows:

[0059] Using an optimization algorithm, for 0 to By optimizing the operating power of the electric boilers in the given range, the optimal operating power of the electric boilers can be obtained. ; Among them, a series of different heating loads are taken. The system calculates critical electricity price data points for a series of different electric boiler operating power. When the on-grid electricity price in the spot electricity market is lower than the minimum critical electricity price under any heating load, the electric boiler operation strategy is to operate at full load while ensuring that the overall electricity load of "heating unit + electric boiler" is not lower than 0.

[0060] Example 1 Taking a 670MW-class heating unit as an example, the unit's operating domain data is obtained as follows: Figure 2 As shown; to visually demonstrate the operation status of the electric boiler after commissioning, the newly added electric heating safety operation domain of "heating unit + electric boiler" after commissioning is also drawn, such as... Figure 2 The newly added operating domain section below shows that the overall electrical load of the heating unit combined with the electric boiler remains above zero. In the electricity spot market, whether an electric boiler is put into operation is mainly affected by the spot electricity price. Based on the spot electricity price, the following strategy is set for the operation of the electric boiler: When the on-grid electricity price of generating units in the spot electricity market is high, under the premise of ensuring heating supply, the heating units generate electricity at the upper limit of the power generation load, and the electric boilers are not put into operation. When the on-grid electricity price for generating units is low in the electricity spot market, under the premise of ensuring heating supply, the less electricity generated by the generating units, the greater the net profit.

[0061] By putting electric boilers into operation, some of the low-priced electricity can be converted into heat and sold to the outside world, while reducing the power generation load of the unit, thereby maximizing net income.

[0062] Taking a heating load of 400MW as an example, and considering different grid-connected electricity prices in the spot market, increasing from 0.1 yuan / kWh (i.e., 1 yuan / MWh) to 1.3 yuan / kWh (i.e., 1300 yuan / MWh), the net revenue of the heating unit is calculated using the method of this invention under two scenarios: 1) no electric boiler in operation; and 2) 150MW of electric boiler in operation. The results are attached. Figure 3 As shown in the results, when the two lines intersect at a single point, the electricity price at this point is the critical price, i.e., the critical price for the operation / non-operation of the electric boiler is 138.51 yuan / MWh. This result indicates that when the spot market electricity price is higher than 138.51 yuan / MWh, operating the heating unit without the electric boiler is the optimal strategy, with the electric boiler operating power at 0MW; when the spot market electricity price is lower than 138.51 yuan / MWh, operating the heating unit with the electric boiler is the optimal strategy, ensuring that the electric boiler operating power does not exceed 150MW. The aforementioned results indicate that when the spot electricity price is 138.51 yuan / MWh, the net profit of the heating unit is equal and in a loss-making state when the electric boiler's operating power is 0 (i.e., the electric boiler is not in operation) and when the electric boiler's operating power is 150MW. Therefore, there exists an optimal electric boiler operating power. By optimizing within the range of 0 to 150MW, the net profit can be maximized, i.e., the loss of the heating unit is minimized under low electricity prices. Here, the electric boiler operating power is used as the optimization variable, and the net profit after the electric boiler is put into operation in the above calculation model is used as the optimization objective. A genetic algorithm is used for optimization, and the optimal electric boiler operating power of 74.9MW is obtained. To clearly illustrate the optimization results, the net profit curves for different electric boiler operating powers are calculated and attached. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the operating power of the electric boiler is 74.9MW, the net profit of the unit can be maximized under the conditions of a spot electricity market price of 138.51 yuan / MWh and a guaranteed heating capacity of 400MW.

[0063] Similarly, the critical electricity price curves for different typical heat loads and typical electric boiler operating power were calculated, and the results are attached. Figure 5As shown, the critical electricity price is generally distributed between 133 and 142 yuan / MWh under different heat loads and different electric boiler operating capacities. Therefore, for the case study heating unit, in the electricity spot market, when the electricity price is higher than 142 yuan / MWh, the electric boilers are not operated. When the electricity price is between 133 and 142 yuan / MWh, for a specific heating load, there exists a critical electricity price corresponding to the electric boiler operating capacity, and the optimal operating capacity of the electric boiler is between 0 and the operating capacity corresponding to the critical electricity price. As the electricity price further drops below 133 yuan / MWh, regardless of the heating load, the electric boilers should be operated, and the optimal operating capacity is to operate at full load as much as possible while ensuring that the overall electricity load of the heating unit combined with the electric boilers is greater than 0. In an extreme case, if the electricity spot market price is 0 yuan, all electric boilers should be put into operation for heating, and the heating unit should minimize its power generation load while meeting the remaining heating demand.

[0064] Example 2 according to Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment also provides an operation system for the economical operation of an electric boiler auxiliary heating unit, including: Data processing module 1 acquires the operating data of the heating unit and fits and determines the boundaries of the electric heating safety operation domain of the heating unit. Function construction module 2 is used to construct cost and benefit calculation functions for the coupled electric boiler of the heating unit based on each boundary of the electric heating safety operation domain of the heating unit; Model building module 3 is used to combine the various boundaries of the electric heating safe operation domain of the heating unit and the cost and benefit calculation functions of the heating unit coupled with the electric boiler to establish a net benefit calculation model for the electric-thermal coupling of the heating unit and the electric boiler. Criterion determination module 4 is used to calculate the difference in net income between the electric boiler in non-operation and operation states based on the electric-thermal coupling net income calculation model, and to determine the criterion for putting the electric boiler into operation. Critical calculation module 5 is used to calculate the net revenue under different spot market electricity prices and different operating power of electric boilers based on the electric boiler commissioning criteria, and to determine the critical electricity price for electric boiler commissioning; Strategy generation module 6 is used to calculate the optimal operating power of the electric boiler and form an electric boiler operation strategy by using an optimization algorithm with the goal of maximizing the overall net benefit after the electric boiler is put into operation.

[0065] In summary, the commissioning method and system for economical operation of electric boiler-assisted heating units provided in this embodiment aims to maximize the unit's net revenue. By constructing an electricity-heat coupling calculation model that considers spot electricity price fluctuations, and using the net revenue of the heating unit before and after commissioning the electric boiler as a criterion, the optimal commissioning strategy for the electric boiler under different electricity price periods is obtained. Using this method, the heating unit can dynamically respond to spot market price signals during operation, automatically assess the impact of the electric boiler's commissioning / shutdown mode on the unit's revenue, and the optimization results can directly provide the optimal commissioning strategy and operating power for the electric boiler, thereby solving the problem of insufficient flexibility in electricity and heat regulation of traditional heating units in the spot market. This method can solve the commissioning problem of economical operation of electric boiler-assisted heating units under different heating loads and different market electricity prices in the electricity spot market. It ensures maximum net revenue of the heating unit during high electricity prices and effectively reduces losses when the unit faces losses during low electricity prices, significantly improving the competitiveness of the heating unit in the electricity spot market. The method of this invention can help thermal power enterprises achieve high-quality development and has broad application prospects.
