Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power generation control technology, and specifically discloses a network architecture for an energy storage frequency regulation system for thermal power plants. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern power production, with the adjustment of energy structure and increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, power plant operation faces many challenges. Energy storage regulation and flue gas monitoring technologies play a key role in these challenges. However, because the existing control network architecture of thermal power plants does not integrate the two, coordinated regulation is not yet possible.
[0003] Energy storage systems, as a key supporting technology, can store electrical energy during off-peak hours and release it during peak hours to achieve load balancing and alleviate grid pressure. They also work in conjunction with traditional power sources to ensure stable operation and improve system efficiency. Through prediction and regulation, they reduce the impact of fluctuations, meet grid connection requirements, and provide rapid power support in emergencies, enhancing system stability. However, current applications of energy storage systems in power plants mostly focus solely on storing and releasing electricity to cope with grid load changes, failing to closely integrate with other key production processes within the power plant, resulting in a low degree of synergistic optimization.
[0004] Regarding flue gas monitoring, coal-fired power plant emissions contain particulate matter, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and trace amounts of carbon monoxide. Particulate matter directly impacts atmospheric environmental quality, while carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides are all acidic gases and major contributors to acid rain formation. Continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) can monitor pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide in real time, playing a crucial role in monitoring pollutant emissions from thermal power plants. They are primarily used for monitoring desulfurization processes and pollutant emission procedures. However, existing flue gas monitoring systems mainly focus on acquiring pollutant emission data to meet environmental regulatory requirements, with limited application of monitoring data in optimizing overall power plant production, particularly in coordination with energy storage regulation.
[0005] In summary, currently, energy storage regulation and flue gas monitoring technologies in power plants operate independently, without forming an organic integration. On the one hand, energy storage systems fail to utilize the power plant operating condition information reflected by flue gas monitoring to optimize their charging and discharging strategies and operating modes, thus hindering the improvement of the overall efficiency of energy storage systems for power plant production. On the other hand, flue gas monitoring data is only used to meet environmental compliance requirements, without data interaction and collaborative decision-making with energy storage regulation from the perspective of comprehensive energy management and efficient utilization of the power plant, failing to achieve dual optimization in energy utilization and environmental protection. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a power plant management and control network architecture that integrates energy storage regulation and flue gas monitoring to improve the overall operating efficiency and environmental protection level of power plants.
