Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent scheduling and control technology, specifically to a cross-seasonal intelligent scheduling method for thermal energy storage based on thermodynamic physical mechanism constraints. Background Technology
[0002] Under the "dual-carbon" strategy, the installed capacity of renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics continues to grow. However, their intermittent and fluctuating characteristics pose significant challenges to the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Meanwhile, there is a significant seasonal supply-demand mismatch in centralized heating in northern cities, with surplus renewable energy in summer and a large heating energy shortage in winter. Cross-seasonal thermal storage technology can convert surplus renewable energy in summer into thermal energy for storage and release during the winter heating season, making it one of the core technologies for solving the problem of renewable energy consumption and seasonal heating supply-demand mismatch. Among these technologies, high-temperature solid particle (ceramic particles, quartz sand, blast furnace slag, etc.) thermal storage technology has advantages such as high storage temperature (600℃-1000℃), high energy density, low cost, long lifespan, and environmental friendliness, making it the mainstream technology for large-capacity cross-seasonal thermal storage.
[0003] Cross-seasonal thermal energy storage scheduling differs fundamentally from conventional short-term energy storage and district heating system scheduling, and faces the following technical challenges: 1. During the charging and releasing process of high-temperature solid particles at 600℃-1000℃ in a gravity-flow thermal storage bed, there is intense gas-solid phase-to-phase heat transfer and nonlinear thermal radiation effects. Their thermodynamic characteristics exhibit strong nonlinearity, which cannot be accurately described by traditional linear models. In the long-term cumulative iteration across seasons, catastrophic state prediction divergence will occur, causing the scheduling strategy to completely fail.
[0004] 2. Cross-seasonal thermal storage requires planning thermal storage capacity on a long-term scale of several months, while responding to grid frequency regulation needs on a second-minute scale. Thermodynamic state transitions have strong path dependence, and traditional scheduling methods cannot meet the dual requirements of long-term energy balance and short-term rapid response.
[0005] 3. Extreme weather events such as cold waves and warm winters can cause sudden changes in heat load exceeding 30%. Traditional scheduling methods rely on historical data fitting and lack counterfactual reasoning capabilities. They are unable to cope with extreme conditions that have not occurred in the past and are prone to the risk of premature depletion of heat storage capacity and heat supply interruption.
[0006] 4. Multiple uncertainties such as weather, electricity price, power grid frequency, and heat load are coupled together, and the stationarity assumption of the traditional Markov decision process is no longer applicable, resulting in a situation where the robustness and economy of the scheduling strategy cannot be taken into account at the same time. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The present invention proposes a cross-seasonal intelligent scheduling method for thermal energy storage based on thermodynamic physical mechanism constraints, which can at least solve one of the technical problems in the background art.

In a charged state, For the rate of temperature change, The rate of change of state of charge; S2: Feature extraction and long-term situation characterization of preprocessed multimodal data are performed through a three-level cascaded cross-temporal feature extraction network. The cross-temporal feature extraction network includes an intraday dynamic response extractor, a short-term weather process extractor, and a cross-seasonal long-term feature extractor. The extractors at each level are physically consistent through a thermodynamic state checker to ensure that the output features can be mapped to the real physical state without bias. S3: Based on the physical mechanism-data dual-driven topology recognition engine, a causal directed acyclic graph of the thermal storage system is constructed. By using a causal mask based on the second law of thermodynamics, false causal paths in the entropy reduction direction are forcibly cut off. At the same time, the thermal balance equation of the first law of thermodynamics is embedded into the state transition function, so that the trajectory of the model state deduction is anchored on the manifold of the thermodynamic physical equation, forming a physically self-consistent causal world model. S4: Based on the causal world model, perform interventionist counterfactual reasoning to predict the thermodynamic state evolution trajectory and constraint satisfaction of different scheduling strategies under extreme weather and load change conditions, and output the state deviation and uncertainty quantification results of different strategies; S5: Based on the pre-trained large language model of injected thermal storage scheduling knowledge, candidate scheduling strategies are generated by combining the current thermodynamic state and counterfactual reasoning results. During the generation process, the candidate strategies are initially physically verified by using a thermodynamic symbol knowledge base. S6: The dynamic fusion weight of the neural solver and the symbolic verifier is calculated by the condition-aware regulator. Under normal operating conditions, the neural solver is used first to quickly optimize the scheduling strategy. Under extreme approximation conditions, the system is forced to switch to the symbolic verifier to solve the hard constraints and output the optimal scheduling action that satisfies the thermodynamic and physical constraints. S7: Calculates the thermodynamic state prediction variance of the scheduling strategy based on Monte Carlo sampling results using counterfactual reasoning. When the variance exceeds a preset threshold, a conservative scheduling strategy is automatically triggered, tightening the storage temperature. Safety constraints with power ramp-up.
