Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of planning technology for hydro-solar complementary systems, and in particular to a method for optimizing the energy storage configuration of hydro-solar complementary systems under the condition of power supply guarantee, taking into account water regulation constraints. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing proportion of new energy grid connection and the advancement of clean energy transformation, photovoltaic (PV) power output is significantly random, fluctuating, and intermittent due to its dependence on sunlight intensity. Large-scale grid connection increases the operational difficulty of system power balance, thus restricting the efficiency of PV power generation absorption. Leveraging the flexible regulation characteristics of hydropower to smooth out fluctuations in PV output can effectively improve the stability of new energy grid connection and enhance PV absorption efficiency. The hydro-PV complementary operation mode is of great significance for promoting the green and low-carbon development of the new power system.
[0003] With the gradual improvement of water resource management systems, the demand for water intake in hydropower station reservoirs for comprehensive utilization is becoming increasingly stringent. Simultaneously, the proportion of photovoltaic power generation in hydro-solar hybrid systems is surging, leading to increasingly heavy hydropower regulation tasks. The water and power regulation needs of hydropower stations are mutually constraining, making energy storage configuration for hydro-solar hybrid systems essential to improve system regulation capabilities. Therefore, designing an optimized energy storage configuration method for hydro-solar hybrid systems that considers water regulation constraints while ensuring power supply is crucial. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy storage optimization configuration method for a hydro-solar complementary system that takes into account water dispatch constraints and ensures power supply. By considering the mutual constraints between water dispatch and power dispatch in the scheduling plan, the method optimizes the economic efficiency of energy storage configuration and the capacity for new energy absorption while ensuring power supply.

[0112] The upper-level model optimizes the energy storage configuration of the hydro-solar complementary system by taking the economic efficiency and the amount of abandoned electricity as optimization objectives. The lower-level operation model considers the connection between the cascade hydropower dispatching and the power dispatching, the operation of energy storage equipment and the transmission section of the upper-level power grid, and optimizes the operation plan of the complementary system with the goal of maximizing the sum of typical daily power transmission. The operation results are fed back to the upper-level multi-objective optimization model. Through the optimization iteration of the upper and lower two-level models, the method of energy storage configuration of the hydro-solar complementary system is solved.
[0113] The upper-level model focuses on the economics of energy storage configuration. Waste of electricity from hydro-solar hybrid systems To optimize the objectives and set constraints, the optimization objective for the economic efficiency of energy storage configuration is as follows:

Specifically:

[0142] Water allocation tasks include hydropower station basin engineering construction, ecological maintenance, and irrigation water use. Water allocation requirements are constrained by the following:
[0143] (16)
[0144] (17)
[0145] (18)

[0156] Step 3: Solve the energy storage two-layer optimization configuration model of the hydro-solar hybrid system based on the multi-objective whale optimization algorithm and the commercial linear programming solver Gurobi. Specifically, this includes:
[0157] The optimal configuration of energy storage in a hydro-solar hybrid system considering water regulation constraints is a multi-objective, multi-constraint linear integer bilevel programming problem. Intelligent algorithms, when handling multi-objective problems, possess advantages such as high parallel computation efficiency and strong solution adaptability. The multi-objective whale optimization algorithm can switch between three different hunting strategies, has strong global search capabilities, and can effectively solve complex multi-objective optimization problems. Therefore, this invention uses the multi-objective whale optimization algorithm and the commercial solver Gurobi, and programs it in Matlab. Specifically, step 31 involves setting algorithm parameters, including population size, number of iterations, and energy storage. Step 32: The upper-layer model generates random individuals using the multi-objective whale algorithm, containing energy storage capacity and power planning information, and passes this information to the lower-layer mixed integer model; Step 33: The lower-layer model uses the received energy storage system power and capacity configuration parameters as known parameters, and solves the lower-layer optimization model using a commercial solver, and feeds back the obtained hydro-solar-storage power generation to the upper layer; Step 34: The upper-layer model calculates the energy storage configuration economy of the upper-layer objective function using the hydro-solar-storage power generation fed back by the lower-layer model and the energy storage system configuration information contained in the random individuals. Waste of electricity from water-solar hybrid systems The solution results are stored in the external archive of the multi-objective whale algorithm; Step 35: Execute the multi-objective whale algorithm optimization strategy, repeatedly run steps 32, 33, and 34 until the maximum number of iterations is reached, and output the Pareto optimal solution set in the external archive; The specific solution process is as follows Figure 4 As shown.
[0158] This invention provides an embodiment to verify the rationality of the planning method described herein. The hydropower stations are located on two tributaries within a unified river basin. The first tributary has two hydropower stations: Hydropower Station No. 1 with an installed capacity of 200MW and Hydropower Station No. 2 with an installed capacity of 116.1MW. The second tributary also has two hydropower stations: Hydropower Station No. 3 with an installed capacity of 50MW and Hydropower Station No. 4 with an installed capacity of 248MW. The typical daily photovoltaic output is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in Table 1, the power transmission limit of the hydro-solar hybrid system is set at 300MW, and the energy storage technology and economic parameters are shown in Table 1.
[0159] Table 1. Economic and technical parameters of energy storage systems
[0160]
[0161] The Pareto solution set, composed of the planning results obtained from solving the multi-objective programming model of the water-solar hybrid system using the multi-objective whale optimization algorithm and the commercial solver Gurobi, is as follows: Figure 6As shown, Figure 6 As can be seen from this, in the problem of energy storage optimization configuration of this hydro-solar complementary system, the two objectives of energy storage configuration economy and system curtailment are not a simple linear relationship. The increase in energy storage configuration cost may not necessarily promote the reduction of the total curtailment of the system. In addition to economic factors, it also depends on the reasonable ratio of power and capacity of the energy storage system.
[0162] For the Pareto front plot of the above multi-objective function, it is necessary to select the optimal solution. Based on the objective values of the Pareto feasible solution set in the external archive of the multi-objective whale algorithm, this invention uses the TOPSIS method to sort and determine the actual ideal solution and actual negative ideal solution for each objective dimension. The final actual ideal solution and actual negative ideal solution are shown in Table 2.
[0163] Table 2 Optimal Solution Based on TOPSIS Method
[0164]
[0165] To verify the multi-objective planning method for energy storage configuration of a water-solar hybrid system considering water regulation constraints proposed in this invention, the following three different schemes were set up for comparative analysis;
[0166] Option 1: Minimum power curtailment energy storage optimization configuration scheme without considering water regulation constraints.
[0167] Option 2: Minimum power curtailment energy storage optimization configuration scheme considering water regulation constraints.
[0168] Scheme 3: The multi-objective energy storage optimization configuration scheme for a water-solar complementary system considering water regulation constraints proposed in this invention.
[0169] The configuration results of each scheme are shown in Table 3, and the water dispatching tasks are shown in Table 4.
[0170] Table 3 Energy storage configuration results for each scheme
[0171]
[0172] As shown in Table 3, Scheme 1 ignores the water dispatching requirement constraint, eliminating the need to consider water dispatching tasks during hydropower generation scheduling. This results in higher hydropower operation flexibility, the lowest energy storage configuration cost, and the least total wind and solar curtailment. Scheme 2 considers the water dispatching constraint, limiting the flexibility of power dispatching. Because it aims at the total power generation of the hydro-solar system, it requires large-scale energy storage to increase total power generation. Compared to Scheme 1, its average daily energy storage investment cost increases by 105,000 yuan, and the curtailed energy increases by 212.67 MWh. Scheme 3 considers the water dispatching constraint while optimizing both economy and total power generation. Compared to Scheme 2, its energy storage configuration cost decreases by 22.38%, and the curtailed energy increases by 3.33%. The analysis concludes that considering the water dispatching constraint has a significant impact on the planning results. Using a multi-objective programming method can better balance system economy and curtailment.
[0173] Table 4 Comparison of water diversion task completion under different schemes
[0174]
[0175] The values in Table 4 are the ratios of the actual water intake scheduling results to the minimum demand. Scheme 1, which does not consider water dispatch constraints, shows that the water supply of most hydropower stations far exceeds the demand during the wet season, while the water supply is insufficient during the dry season. Schemes 2 and 3, which take into account water dispatch demand constraints, can meet the water dispatch demand in each typical day scenario and can ensure water supply needs even during the dry season.
[0176] Scheduling results of different scheduling schemes are as follows Figures 7-9 As shown in the dispatch results, all schemes exhibit significant power curtailment during the high-water season. This curtailment can be mitigated by configuring energy storage systems to store surplus electricity during peak hydro-solar periods and release it during periods of lower hydro-solar output. Scheme 1, which does not consider water dispatch constraints, is not subject to water usage restrictions, resulting in significantly less total curtailment compared to Schemes 2 and 3. During the normal water season, Scheme 1 experiences curtailment only at 2 PM due to its smaller energy storage capacity. Schemes 2 and 3 achieve complete absorption of hydro-solar output through flexible energy storage charging and discharging. During the dry season, reduced natural water inflow lowers hydropower generation levels, and hydro-solar output does not exceed the transmission section limit during any period, resulting in no power curtailment.
[0177] This invention focuses on a hydro-solar hybrid system, incorporating the water intake requirements of water diversion tasks into the operational constraints of cascade hydropower. Addressing the power curtailment phenomenon caused by transmission line limitations in the hydro-solar hybrid system, it proposes an energy storage system to enhance the power supply capacity of the system. To balance the economics of energy storage configuration with the power transmission capacity of the hydro-solar hybrid system, a method for configuring energy storage in a hydro-solar hybrid system considering water diversion constraints is proposed. The following conclusions are drawn through numerical examples:
[0178] Energy storage configuration schemes that do not consider water diversion constraints have lower energy storage levels and stronger power supply capabilities, but they do not reflect the actual situation of the studied watershed being constrained by water diversion. Configuration schemes that consider water diversion tasks require larger-scale energy storage to supplement the flexible operation capability of the hydro-solar complementary system and enhance power supply capabilities. Energy storage configuration schemes that only optimize the external transmission capacity of the hydro-solar complementary system achieve limited external transmission capacity improvement at a high economic cost. In contrast, the multi-objective energy storage optimization configuration scheme provided by this invention achieves a balance between the economic efficiency of energy storage configuration and the power transmission capacity of the hydro-solar complementary system through Parato feasible solutions and Topsis ranking methods.
[0179] In summary, by considering the mutual constraints between water and electricity dispatching in the scheduling plan, this invention achieves both optimized energy storage configuration and new energy absorption capacity while ensuring power supply, thus possessing high practical value and promotional significance.
