Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system technology, and more specifically, to a deep peak-shaving optimization control method for thermal power units under large-scale grid connection conditions. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of global energy scarcity, alleviating energy shortages has become a common goal for all countries, and research related to energy transition has become a widespread trend. In this process, new energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydropower are seeing their proportion in the current power structure steadily increase due to their significant advantages of being clean and sustainable. However, with the large-scale integration of new energy sources into the power grid, the stable operation of the power system also faces new challenges and difficulties. Because the power generation capacity of new energy sources is highly dependent on natural conditions, their output exhibits strong randomness with changes in the natural environment. This randomness can easily lead to power imbalances in the grid after integration, resulting in problems such as frequency fluctuations and voltage instability. As a representative of traditional power generation models, thermal power generation remains the mainstay of power supply. Unlike new energy generation, thermal power is driven by coal combustion and possesses strong controllability and operational stability. In scenarios of large-scale grid integration of new energy sources, thermal power units, as the ballast stone for the stable operation of the power system, need to undertake deep peak-shaving tasks to ensure a continuous and stable power supply by balancing the fluctuations in new energy generation. Against this backdrop, the frequency of thermal power units participating in deep peak-shaving is constantly increasing, placing higher demands on their peak-shaving control response capabilities.

[0003] The quantitative evaluation indicators for system frequency stability under deep peak shaving are lacking, and there is a lack of optimization for load allocation under deep peak shaving. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the impact of deep peak shaving of thermal power units on frequency regulation capability and system frequency stability, propose active power regulation capability evaluation indicators, construct evaluation models, and on this basis, consider a system load allocation optimization model for the primary frequency regulation capability of deep peak shaving units to improve system frequency stability under deep peak shaving.

This embodiment can be applied to electronic devices, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the deep peak-shaving optimization control method 100 for thermal power units under large-scale grid connection conditions includes the following steps: Step 101: Build a large-scale grid-connected power system model that includes thermal power units, wind power generation units and photovoltaic power generation units, and based on the power system model, construct an upper-level new energy carrying capacity assessment function and a lower-level power grid stability assessment function.

[0039] Specifically, the primary frequency regulation capability of generating units deteriorates significantly under low-load conditions, with a decrease in regulation rate and a 2-3 fold increase in dynamic response time, severely restricting the grid's frequency recovery capability. However, existing research mainly focuses on frequency regulation characteristics under conventional loads, lacking quantitative assessment and optimization of the primary frequency regulation capability of generating units under deep peak-shaving conditions. Optimizing load allocation schemes can effectively reduce the frequency regulation burden of thermal power units and improve system frequency stability. Therefore, this paper proposes a load optimization allocation method considering frequency security under deep peak-shaving conditions to reduce the regulation pressure on generating units and maintain the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

[0040] This invention provides a load optimization allocation method considering frequency security under deep peak shaving. It aims to optimize the load allocation scheme of thermal power units to address the frequency security and stability issues under current deep peak shaving conditions, and solve the problem of insufficient active power regulation capacity of the system. Considering the impact of deep peak shaving on frequency regulation capacity and stable system frequency operation, a dynamic evaluation model integrating multiple deep peak shaving parameters is constructed based on active power regulation amplitude indicators such as peak value and steady-state value, and active power regulation speed indicators such as curve rise time. Furthermore, an optimization model for the primary frequency regulation capacity of deep peak shaving units is constructed, and an optimization model considering primary frequency regulation capacity constraints is proposed for load allocation under deep peak shaving.

[0041] This invention provides a method for deep peak shaving optimization control of thermal power units under large-scale grid connection conditions, with reference to... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step 1: Build a large-scale grid-connected power system model In this invention, a power system structure model is established based on the conditions of large-scale grid connection of new energy sources, as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0042] exist Figure 3 In the power system structure model, thermal power units are the main source of electricity supply, installed at the grid inlet side, and balance the fluctuations in renewable energy access through peak shaving (adjusting output to meet the grid's power demand during off-peak or peak periods). Their output model needs to complement the intermittent characteristics of wind and solar power generation. The output models of each power supply unit under large-scale grid connection are as follows: (1) (2) (3) In the formula, represent The thermal power unit output at all times; This indicates the start / stop status of the unit (1 for running, 0 for stopped).

[0043] Step 2: Quantitative assessment of power grid stability and carrying capacity Step 2.1: Upper-level new energy carrying capacity assessment function New energy carrying capacity refers to the maximum extent to which a power system can continuously and efficiently accept and absorb new energy power generation capacity (wind power and photovoltaic) under the premise of ensuring safe and stable operation. It can be described by the following formula.

Step 2.2: Lower-level power grid stability assessment function Power grid stability Due to frequency deviation and voltage deviation It consists of two parts, reflecting the fluctuations in the power system during peak shaving.

[0046] Step 3: Differential Evolutionary Algorithm for Deep Peak Shaving Output Optimization Differential evolution algorithm is a stochastic search optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence. This algorithm is used to find the optimal solution from the power output schemes of candidate power generation units. Each solution is represented as... , This represents the number of power generation units.

[0047] Throughout the process, the fitness function is constructed as follows: (8) In the formula, Representing the One solution The fitness function of (output scheme); , Representing the One solution The corresponding evaluation function values ​​for the upper and lower layers (output scheme); , This represents the evaluation function of the upper and lower layers.

[0048] After solving the above process, the optimal output of the thermal power generating unit during deep peak shaving is obtained, denoted as . .

[0049] Step 4: Based on the peak-shaving output optimization results, implement the operation control of the thermal power unit. To this end, a control model is designed based on a neural network proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The model structure is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0050] In this control model, the current generating power of the thermal power unit needs to be monitored in real time, denoted as . Then, compared with the optimal output of thermal power generating units during deep peak shaving obtained in the previous chapter. Perform the difference calculation, that is (9) In the formula, Represents real-time power generation and optimal output. The deviation between them.

[0051] Step 5: The input is fed into the neural network PID controller, and through proportional, integral, and derivative calculations, the operating control quantities of the thermal power unit required to achieve the deep peak shaving target are obtained.

[0052] (10) In the formula, represent The control parameters for thermal power unit operation at all times are: coal consumption and power generation capacity. The greater the coal consumption, the higher the power generation capacity of the thermal power unit. , , These represent the coefficients of the proportional, integral, and derivative components after neural network optimization. The process for obtaining the coefficients of the proportional, integral, and derivative components after neural network optimization is as follows: (1) Input the state variables of the thermal power unit This includes output deviation, deviation change rate, and historical control parameters.

[0057] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, to verify the effectiveness of the invention, the IEEE 33-bus system is used as the basis for the calculation, the proportion of renewable energy installed capacity is increased, and a power system test model suitable for algorithm verification under the scenario of large-scale grid connection of renewable energy is constructed. The structural diagram is as follows. Figure 5 As shown.

[0058] Figure 5 The power system shown has three thermal power units (2×600MW supercritical units + 1×300MW subcritical units), one photovoltaic power station and one wind turbine unit connected to it. The parameter configuration is shown in Table 1 below.

[0059] Table 1 Power System Test Model Parameter Configuration

[0060] To simulate the dynamic changes in the real-world power grid environment, a typical anti-peak-shaving day scenario is set up, as shown in Table 2 below.

[0061] Table 2 Typical Scenario Settings

[0062] Based on the proposed deep peak-shaving output optimization method, the differential evolution algorithm is used to optimize the power output. Figure 1 Deep peak-shaving output optimization was performed on a typical anti-peak-shaving day scenario for a large-scale grid-connected power system of new energy sources. The results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0063] Table 3 Optimization results of deep peak shaving output (unit: MW)

[0064] Note: (D) indicates that the unit is currently in a deep peak shaving state, with its output lower than its normal minimum technical output (40% of rated capacity).

[0065] Using the expected output of the three thermal power units (2×600MW supercritical units + 1×300MW subcritical unit) in Table 3, the difference between this expected output and the current real-time monitored power generation of the thermal power units is calculated. This difference is then used as input to calculate the required thermal power unit operation control quantities to achieve the deep peak shaving target, thereby realizing deep peak shaving control of the thermal power units. The deep peak shaving control quantities of the thermal power units are as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

[0066] from Figure 6 As can be seen, in the face of a typical anti-peak day scenario, the deep peak-shaving control quantities (coal consumption variation characteristics) of the two 600MW supercritical units and one 300MW subcritical unit are as follows: During peak load periods (8:00-20:00), all three units jointly increase coal consumption; during off-peak load periods (0:00-4:00, 22:00-24:00), all three units jointly reduce coal consumption. This indicates that the optimized control system coordinates and uniformly schedules the units, jointly responding to changes in net load. Furthermore, throughout the day, the coal consumption of the two 600MW supercritical units is consistently higher than that of the 300MW subcritical unit, especially during the peak load period (14:00-16:00), where the 300MW subcritical unit plays more of a "regulator" role, reducing coal consumption even further when output needs to be reduced, and increasing coal consumption more slowly when output needs to be increased.

[0067] according to Figure 6 Deep peak shaving was achieved, and then the grid stability was monitored during the peak shaving process to verify the peak shaving effect and compare it with three traditional methods. The results are as follows. Figure 7 As shown.

[0068] from Figure 7 As can be seen from the results, under the application of the studied method, the stability of the power grid... ∈[0.90,1.00], while the power grid stability of the other three methods The overall values ​​are all below this figure. A value of <0.90 indicates that the peak-shaving effect of the studied method is better. This is due to the strong response capability of the studied method, which can quickly adjust the control quantity to cope with the load fluctuation problem after the new energy is connected to the grid.

[0069] Faced with a sharp drop in photovoltaic power output, the demand for thermal power units surged from 10MW to 40MW to fill the gap. In response to this situation, the deep peak-shaving step response of thermal power units is as follows: Figure 8 As shown.

[0070] from Figure 8As can be seen, the method studied completes deep peak shaving within 3 seconds and quickly reaches a stable level, while the other three methods require a longer time to complete deep peak shaving. For example, the adaptive peak shaving control method based on the load change rate requires about 5 seconds, the peak shaving control strategy based on the peak shaving surplus coefficient requires about 4 seconds, and the peak shaving control method based on the Cplex solver requires about 6 seconds. This shows that the method studied can quickly respond to rapid load changes or sudden operating conditions, and can make a timely deep peak shaving response, thus having a better peak shaving effect.

[0071] Therefore, this invention proposes a deep peak-shaving optimization control method for thermal power units under large-scale grid-connected conditions. It integrates a two-layer evaluation function into the algorithm's fitness function and solves the optimal output plan through swarm intelligence search, effectively overcoming the limitation of "local optima" in traditional peak-shaving strategies. This ensures that the output of thermal power units can match the fluctuations in renewable energy while also considering their own operational economy and safety. By calculating the deviation between the actual output and the optimal output of the thermal power units in real time, the nonlinear fitting capability of neural networks is used to dynamically optimize the PID parameters, achieving rapid adjustment of the control quantity. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the method: the grid stability on typical anti-peak-shaving days exceeds 0.90, and the unit step response time under sudden operating conditions is ≤3 seconds, far faster than traditional methods, achieving the dual goals of grid safety and thermal power unit economy.
