Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a power system management system and a power system management method. [Background technology]
[0002] In the power grid, the aging of existing facilities and the expansion of renewable energy sources have forced the reconstruction of the power grid infrastructure. In this context, maximizing the efficiency of capital investment while ensuring the reliability of the power grid has become a major challenge for power companies.
[0003] Conventionally, there have been proposals aimed at determining the prediction error of the amount of power generated by power sources (renewable energy power sources) that utilize renewable energy sources (RES) in a power system. For example, JP 2018-506258 A (Patent Document 1) describes a technology that "provides a system for determining (a) a prediction error and / or (b) a scaling error of wind power generation. The system utilizes a generated time series and a forecast time series for wind-derived power generation and analyzes the temporal correlation in wind fluctuations to quantify (a) a prediction error defined by the deviation between the high frequency components of the forecast time series and the generated time series, and (b) a scaling error defined by the extent to which the temporal correlation is not predicted relative to an accurate predictor of wind fluctuations. Wind fluctuations may exhibit multifractal behavior at the turbine level and / or can be modified to a fractal structure at the power grid level. A memory kernel can be used to reduce the prediction error and the scaling error." [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-506258 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In recent years, as demand for clean energy has increased, the introduction of renewable energy sources into the power grid has expanded. The amount of electricity generated by renewable energy sources fluctuates due to various factors such as sunlight hours and wind direction, making the supply to the power grid prone to instability. For this reason, the spread of renewable energy sources has given rise to concerns about the stability of the power grid.
[0006] Under these circumstances, electric power companies are faced with the challenge of expanding the installation of RES that can supply electricity appropriate to fluctuating electricity demand while taking profitability into consideration within a limited budget. On the other hand, power transmission companies and others who manage the power system are required to formulate power system plans that ensure the stability of the power system and compliance with environmental standards while expanding the introduction of renewable energy sources. As mentioned above, developing plans to maximize the amount of renewable energy sources connected to the power grid while installing and removing facilities such as transmission lines in appropriate locations and at appropriate times to meet power supply and demand, whose fluctuations are difficult to predict, is a major economic burden in managing the power grid.
[0007] Although Patent Document 1 considers a means for acquiring and suppressing prediction errors in the amount of power generated by renewable power sources such as wind power, it does not anticipate creating a power system plan that takes into account the stability of the entire power system, greenhouse gas emissions, and the economic burden on power companies.
[0008] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a power system management means capable of generating a power system plan for maximizing the connection amount of renewable energy sources while ensuring the stability of the power system and compliance with environmental standards.

[0014] (Summary of the Invention) As mentioned above, maximizing the amount of renewable energy sources connected to the power grid while developing plans to install and remove facilities such as transmission lines in appropriate locations and at appropriate times to meet power supply and demand fluctuations that are difficult to predict is a major economic burden in managing the power grid.
[0015] In view of this problem, the present disclosure relates to generating a power system facility plan that is future-proof and adheres to reliability. Then, the planning area is divided into mesh areas, and the power generation potential of renewable energy sources is calculated using information on solar radiation and wind power in each area. Then, assuming that each mesh is connected to the nearest bus, the power generation potential of the mesh is integrated to calculate the power generation potential of each bus. Finally, for each system plan, an economic evaluation of the system renewable energy power generation potential and emissions, etc. of the system plan is calculated by an optimization calculation aimed at maximizing the renewable energy power generation amount (i.e., minimizing emissions) using the renewable energy power generation potential as a variable that maximizes it.
[0016] In this way, it is possible to generate a power system plan (note that in this disclosure, this may be abbreviated to "system plan") for maximizing the amount of renewable energy sources connected while ensuring the stability of the power system and compliance with environmental standards.

A process command for implementing a functional unit constituting the power system management application 150 stored in the storage unit 30 is called into the memory 20 and implemented by the processor 10 based on an execution command from a user.
[0040] First, the system plan generating unit 201 uses existing facility information 501, new facility information 502, facility failure information 503, power demand scenario information 504, power supply scenario information 505, and renewable energy connection request information 506. By executing an optimization calculation, the system plan generating unit 201 generates system plan information 510 indicating a feasible power system facility plan while satisfying constraints such as power supply constraints and feasibility constraints of the power system during a target period. The power supply constraint here is a constraint that defines the power supply to maintain the stability of the power system, and may be, for example, a constraint that specifies that the power flow in the transmission lines, the power generation amount at the power plants, and the supply interference power of the buses are within an acceptable range under normal conditions and for each equipment failure situation. Feasibility constraints are constraints for evaluating whether a particular power system installation plan is feasible, and may be defined based on time, budget, materials, manpower, and the like.

[0045] Next, an overall flow of a power system management method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG.
[0046] 4 is a flowchart showing an overall flow of a power system management method 1000 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The power system management method 1000 is a method for generating a power system plan for maximizing the connection amount of renewable energy power sources while ensuring the stability of the power system and compliance with environmental standards by generating a power system plan and calculating the maximum connection amount of renewable energy power sources while ensuring the reliability of the power system, and is implemented by, for example, a power system plan generation unit 201, a renewable energy power generation potential calculation unit 202, a renewable energy power generation potential bus integration unit 203, and a system renewable energy power generation possible amount evaluation unit 204 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3.
[0047] First, in step S1001, the power system management device 1 receives a designation from the client terminal 2 of a target area (planning target region) for which an installation plan is to be generated.
[0048] Next, in step S1002, information such as the planned years for the power system facility plan and the accident level of the facility to be considered in the system plan is set.
[0049] Next, in step S1003, a plurality of power system plans that are feasible in the future and comply with reliability standards are generated based on existing facility information 501, new facility information 502, facility failure information 503, power demand scenario information 504, power supply scenario information 505, and renewable energy connection request information 506. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. Here, power supply scenario information 505 and power demand scenario information 504 are used as the supply and demand scenario. The power supply scenario information 505 is information indicating the predicted annual fluctuation of power supply and its occurrence probability, and the power demand scenario information 504 is information indicating the predicted annual fluctuation of power demand and its occurrence probability. The existing facility information 501 is information on existing facilities for the planning target area, and the new facility information 502 is information indicating candidates for new facilities for the planning target area. The renewable energy connection request information 506 is information on a renewable energy power source to be connected in the power system, which is transmitted, for example, from a power generation company to a transmission system operator (TSO) that manages the power system.
[0050] Next, in step S1004, the list of the current power supply scenario and candidate power system plans for the power supply scenarios generated in S1003 is acquired and stored in the storage unit 30 as power system plan information 510. This power system plan information 510 is information that makes it possible to support the determination of appropriate timing and locations for installing new facilities and removing existing facilities while suppressing various costs incurred in the operation of the power system.
[0051] Next, in step S1005, the grid area is divided into regional meshes, and the renewable energy power generation potential is calculated using information on solar radiation and wind power in each mesh. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.
[0052] Next, in step S1006, bus integration of renewable energy power generation potential is performed for each bus. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.
[0053] Next, in step S1007, a system renewable energy power generation potential calculation is executed to calculate the renewable energy power generation potential of the power system in each system plan. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.
[0054] Next, in step S1008, information on each plan regarding the renewable energy generation capacity of the power grid in S1007 is displayed, and in step S1009, an economic evaluation of the emission amount and the like for each plan is displayed.
[0055] According to the power system management method 1000 configured as described above, by generating a power system plan and calculating the maximum connection amount of renewable energy power sources while ensuring the reliability of the power system, it is possible to generate a power system plan for maximizing the connection amount of renewable energy power sources while ensuring the stability of the power system and compliance with environmental standards.
[0056] Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a flow of a system plan generation process according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.
[0057] The system plan generation unit 201 generates candidates for system plans for the construction of new transmission lines over a planning year based on existing facility information 501, new facility information 502, facility failure information 503, power demand scenario information 504, power supply scenario information 505, and renewable energy connection request information 506.
[0058] In step S1101, a set of existing transmission lines and update candidate transmission lines (also referred to as "update facility candidates" in this disclosure) is generated from existing facility information 501 and new facility information 502. The set of update candidate transmission lines here is a possible combination of removal of existing facilities and installation of new facilities that can meet the renewable energy connection request indicated in the renewable energy connection request information 506.
[0059] Next, in step S1102, a typical supply and demand scenario is generated from the power demand scenario information 504 and the power supply scenario information 505, and an accident level is generated from the equipment failure information 503.
[0060] Next, in step S1103, new facility combinations are comprehensively generated. Next, in step S1104, one unselected combination is selected, and in step S1105, a power flow calculation is performed for the system reflecting the selected combination.
[0061] Next, in step S1106, it is confirmed whether constraint conditions such as predetermined transmission line capacity constraints and power generation capacity constraints are satisfied.
[0062] Next, in step S1107, it is confirmed whether the system plan is feasible, and if it is feasible, in step S1108, the system plan capable of accepting the renewable energy connection request based on the transmission capacity is added to the system plan information 510. In this way, it is possible to generate the system plan information 510 indicating the system plan that can assist in determining the appropriate timing and location for removing the existing facilities. Furthermore, when confirming whether it is feasible in step S1107, it is also possible to generate a system that simulates a failure according to the accident level, and additionally confirm whether it satisfies various capacity constraints and supply interruption power conditions.
[0063] Next, in step S1109, it is confirmed whether all combinations of the new equipment have been evaluated, and if combinations remain, step S1110 is repeated until all combinations have been evaluated.
[0064] Here, a specific example of a process for outputting candidates for a system plan will be described using existing facility information 501, new facility information 502, facility failure information 503, power demand scenario information 504, power supply scenario information 505, and renewable energy connection request information 506. First, in S1101, existing facility information 501 and new facility information 502 are created. In S1102, relevant input parameters are entered, such as the location of the grid, such as "Kanagawa", the planning period, such as "10 years", and the accident level, such as "N-1". Each combination of new facilities (candidates for renewal facilities) is selected, and whether the selected plan is feasible in a future power transmission plan is checked by a power flow calculation of the system reflecting the plan, taking into account the power demand scenario information 504 and the power supply scenario information 505, and a feasible candidate power transmission network plan is output. For example, the plan identifier "P1" of the output system plan information 510 and the facility measure corresponding to this plan are "Install transmission line L45" at time "Y1", which is the first year of the plan, and the facility investment cost of this plan is "50,000 dollars".
[0065] According to the system plan generation process 1100 described above, it is possible to generate a plurality of power system plans that satisfy parameters such as the specified number of years and accident level, and comply with the reliability standards, while supporting the determination of the timing and location for installing new facilities and removing existing facilities.
[0066] Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a flow of a renewable energy power generation potential calculation process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.
[0067] Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of a renewable energy power generation potential calculation process 1200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The renewable energy power generation potential calculation process 1200 shown in Fig. 6 is a process that divides a grid area into mesh areas, analyzes wind power information 507, solar radiation information 508, and land information 509 of each area, and calculates the renewable energy power generation potential of each mesh in the grid area, and is executed by the renewable energy power generation potential calculation unit 202 shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
[0068] In step S1201, the renewable energy power generation potential calculation unit 202 generates a mesh of the area around the power grid. Here, generating a mesh of the area means, for example, dividing the planning target area into a plurality of mesh areas having sections of approximately the same size and shape.
[0069] Next, in step S1202, an unspecified mesh area is specified. Next, in step S1203, weather information (solar radiation, wind volume, wind direction, etc.) is collected for the specified mesh. Examples of the collected information are wind information 507 and solar radiation information 508. In this disclosure, weather information and land information may be collectively referred to as "area characteristic information."
[0070] Next, in step S1204, the total potential power generation amount that is possible by introducing equipment into the entire specified mesh area is calculated.
[0071] Next, in step S1205, land information (soil quality, topography, land use, infrastructure) is collected for the specified mesh. An example of the collected information is land information 509.
[0072] Next, in step S1206, the land information is used to calculate a compatibility ratio, which is the ratio of land within the regional mesh that is compatible with renewable energy power generation.
[0073] Next, in step S1207, the matching ratio is multiplied by the expected equipment introduction density to calculate the equipment introduction possibility ratio of the mesh.
[0074] Next, in step S1208, the equipment installable ratio is multiplied by the total potential renewable energy power generation amount to calculate the potential renewable energy power generation amount of the mesh.
[0075] Next, in step S1209, it is confirmed whether or not all meshes have been calculated, and if there are any mesh areas that have not been calculated, the process is repeated in step S1210 until all meshes have been calculated.
[0076] Here, a specific example of a method for calculating the renewable energy power generation potential in a mesh in an area surrounding a power grid using wind power information 507, solar radiation information 508, and land information 509 will be described. First, mesh ID "M3" is selected, and the solar radiation amount of "1400" and capacity index "15" are used together with the mesh coordinates (51.5074, -0.1278), resulting in a solar power generation potential of "2500". Similarly, the wind power generation potential is "3500". Therefore, the values are added up for the specified mesh, and the renewable energy power generation potential becomes "6000". These calculations are performed for all meshes.
[0077] According to the renewable energy power generation potential calculation process 1200 described above, for example, a planning area around a power grid can be divided into mesh areas, and the power generation potential from renewable energy sources can be calculated using information on solar radiation and wind power in each area.
[0078] Next, with reference to FIG. 7, a renewable energy power generation potential bus integration process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.
[0079] Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of a bus integration process of renewable energy power generation potential 1300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The bus integration process of renewable energy power generation potential 1300 shown in Fig. 7 is a process for calculating the renewable energy power generation potential of each bus based on the bus information 513 generated by the system plan generation process 1100 shown in Fig. 4 and the renewable energy power generation potential information calculated by the renewable energy power generation potential calculation process 1200 shown in Fig. 6, and is executed by the bus integration unit of renewable energy power generation potential 203 shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
[0080] In step S1301, the renewable energy power generation potential bus integrator 203 specifies an unspecified mesh area.
[0081] Next, in step S1302, the center coordinates of the specified mesh are obtained or calculated.
[0082] Next, in step S1303, the distance between each bus of the route and the specified mesh area is calculated.
[0083] Next, in step S1304, the bus closest to the specified mesh area (that is, the bus that satisfies a predetermined distance standard) is determined.
[0084] Next, in step S1305, the renewable energy power generation potential of the mesh is added to the determined renewable energy power generation potential of the bus.
[0085] Next, in step S1306, it is determined whether the calculation has been completed for all meshes.
[0086] If YES, in step S1307, the renewable energy power generation potential of each bus is stored. If NO, the calculation is repeated for all mesh areas through step S1308.
[0087] Here, a specific example of a calculation result for calculating the renewable energy power generation potential of each bus will be described using the bus information 513 and the renewable energy power generation potential information 511. For a bus identifier "B7", if the coordinates are "(700, 1200)" and there are two meshes that are closest to the bus, namely, the coordinates "(40.7128, 74.0060)" of mesh ID "M1" and the coordinates "(34.0522, 18.2437)" of mesh ID "M2", the potential power generation is "2000" and "3500", respectively, so the renewable energy power generation potential of bus "B7" is 5500.
[0088] According to the renewable energy power generation potential bus integration process 1300 described above, it is possible to calculate the amount of potential renewable energy power generation possible around each bus of a power system, for example.
[0089] Next, a process for evaluating the grid renewable energy power generation potential according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG.
[0090] 8 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of a system renewable energy power generation potential evaluation process 1400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The system renewable energy power generation potential evaluation process 1400 is a process for calculating the system renewable energy power generation potential and emissions of each system plan by optimization calculation aimed at maximizing the renewable energy power generation amount (i.e., minimizing emissions) with the renewable energy power generation potential as a variable having the maximum value for each system plan, and is performed by the system renewable energy power generation potential evaluation unit 204 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3.
[0091] In step S1401, one feasible power system plan is specified in the current supply and demand scenario.
[0092] Next, in step S1402, a generator (simulated renewable energy generator) that maximizes the renewable energy power generation potential of the bus is connected to each bus.
[0093] Next, in step S1403, the system plan is modified to incorporate the renewable energy simulated generator connected in S1402, and modified system plan information is generated. This modified system plan information is system plan information showing a case where a renewable energy simulated generator equivalent to the power generation potential of the bus is connected to the bus.
[0094] Next, in step S1404, an optimization objective function is formulated so as to maximize the amount of power generated from renewable energy under constraints such as predetermined power transmission capacity constraints and power generation capacity constraints.
[0095] Next, in step S1405, an optimization calculation is performed to solve the objective function.
[0096] Next, if a solution to the optimization calculation is found in step S1406, the maximum renewable energy power generation capacity in the grid plan is calculated in step S1407. Here, the emission amount according to the corrected grid plan information may be calculated based on the emission amount information 512 and the calculated renewable energy power generation capacity. After that, information indicating the calculated maximum renewable energy power generation capacity and the emission amount may be stored in the storage unit 30 as grid renewable energy power generation capacity information 514.
[0097] Next, in step S1408, the renewable energy introduction scenario is added to the list as a feasible system plan.
[0098] Next, in step S1409, it is checked whether all system plans have been specified, and if YES, in step S1411, economic evaluation is calculated for the system plans in the list. Here, the system renewable energy power generation potential evaluation unit 204 may generate planned economic evaluation information 515 indicating various costs for implementing each system plan in the corrected system plan information, and store it in the storage unit 30.
[0099] If NO, the process goes to step S1410 and repeats the calculation for all system plans.
[0100] Here, a specific example will be described in which system renewable energy power generation potential information 514 and planned economic evaluation information 515 for each system plan are calculated using system plan information 510 and emission amount information 512. Plan ID "P1" is checked, the facility measure is "Install L45", and the renewable energy power generation amount is maximized and the emission amount is minimized in the five planned years. Finally, the maximized renewable energy power generation amount is "5000" MW, and the emission amount is "1026" t.
[0101] According to the system renewable energy power generation capacity evaluation process 1400 described above, for example, the maximum possible amount of renewable energy power sources in each possible system plan of the power system can be calculated. Furthermore, from among these system plans, it is easy to determine which system plan has the maximum possible amount of renewable energy power sources in the future and can accept the maximum number of renewable energy power source connection requests from power generation companies. Furthermore, it is easy to determine which system plans can comply with environmental standards.
[0102] Next, various types of information used to generate a power system plan according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0103] When generating a power system plan, it is desirable to take into consideration existing facilities that have been installed in the power system in the past. In the following, with reference to FIG. 9, existing facility information 501 used by the power system management means according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. The existing facility information 501 may be created in advance, for example, by an administrator of the power system management system 200 via the facility specification management unit 3 shown in FIG. 2, and transmitted from the facility specification management unit 3 to the power system management device 1. In addition, in an embodiment, the existing facility information 501 may be prepared on the client side, for example, a power company, and transmitted from the client terminal 2 to the power system management device 1. As described above, various facilities are used in the power system. For convenience of explanation, the case where the facilities are power transmission lines will be described as an example.
[0104] Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of existing facility information 501 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As described above, the existing facility information 501 is information related to existing facilities (here, transmission lines) that have been installed in the power system in the past, and may include information such as a transmission line number 501A1, a connection point 1 501A2, a connection point 2 501A3, a transmission line length 501A4, a transmission line reactance 501A5, a transmission line capacity 501A6, and a removal cost 501A7, as shown in Fig. 3.
[0105] The transmission line number 501A1 is information for identifying a specific transmission line. The connection point 1 501A2 is information indicating the bus number which is the starting point of the transmission line.

The transmission line length 501A4 is information indicating the distance (km) between the coordinates of the bus which is the starting point of the transmission line and the bus which is the end point. The transmission line reactance 501A5 is information indicating the reactance (ohm / km) of the transmission line. The transmission line capacity 501A6 is information indicating the transmission capacity (MW) of the transmission line. If the power in the transmission line exceeds this transmission line capacity, there is a risk that the transmission line will be damaged or burned. The removal cost 501A7 is information indicating the removal cost per unit length of the transmission line (k$ / km). As an example, for the transmission line with the transmission line number "24", the connection point 1 is bus 2, the connection point is bus 4, the transmission line length is 115 km, the transmission line reactance is 0.31 ohm / km, the transmission line capacity is 660 MW, and the removal cost is 700 k$ / km. In this case, the term "bus" refers to a conductor to which several components in a power system, such as generators, loads, and feeders, are connected. In addition, Fig. 9 shows an example in which the removal cost of all transmission lines is "700k$ / km", but in reality, the removal cost varies depending on the timing and location.
[0106] Power systems are required to respond to various situations due to fluctuations in power supply and demand. In addition, various costs in power systems, such as investment costs for installing new facilities, removal costs for removing existing facilities, generation costs for generating electricity, and transmission loss costs due to transmission losses, vary depending on the timing and location. It is also possible to aggregate the power supply scenario information 505 and the power demand scenario information 504 and store them in a scenario DB (not shown) that includes supply and demand scenarios that indicate fluctuations in power supply and power demand that may occur in the power system.
[0107] Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of new facility information 502 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The transmission line number 502A1 is information for identifying a specific transmission line. The connection point 1 502A2 is information indicating the bus number which is the starting point of the transmission line. The connection point 2 502A2 is information indicating the bus number which is the end point of the transmission line. The transmission line length 502A4 is information indicating the distance (km) between the coordinates of the bus which is the starting point of the transmission line and the bus which is the end point of the transmission line. The transmission line reactance 502A5 is information indicating the reactance (ohm / km) of the transmission line. The transmission line capacity 502A6 is information indicating the transmission capacity (MW) of the transmission line. If the power in the transmission line exceeds this transmission line capacity, there is a risk that the transmission line will be damaged or burned. The installation cost 502A7 is information indicating the installation cost per unit length of the transmission line (k$ / km).

The fault time 503A5 is the planned year (1st year, 2nd year, 5th year, etc.) in which a specific fault situation is scheduled to occur. The supply disruption power 503A6 is information that expresses the maximum value of supply disruption power that is tolerable in a specific fault situation as a percentage of the total demand. As an example, for a fault situation with fault identifier "F2", it is shown that the facility "L45" with "B4" and "B5" as start and end buses may fail in the "first year" of the initial power system plan, resulting in a fault situation in which the supply disruption power is "0.01%" of the total demand.

Furthermore, the fluctuations in power demand from the tenth year onwards may be included in the power demand scenario information 504.
[0112] As an example, for a scenario with a scenario identifier "S2", the occurrence probability is 10%, the increase in electricity demand in the first year is 200MW, the increase in electricity demand in the second year is 185MW, the increase in electricity demand in the third year is 160MW, and the increase in electricity demand in the tenth year is 100MW.
