Combined Optimal Dispatch of Thermal Power Generators and Energy Storage Considering Thermal Power Deep Peak Clipping and Wind Energy Emission Grading Punishment

Peak load and wind energy emission pressure rise more as wind energy penetration keeps growing,which affects the stabilization of the PS(power system).This paper suggests integrated optimal dispatching of thermal power generators and BESS(battery energy storage system)taking wind energy emission grading punishment and deep peak clipping into consideration.Firstly,in order to minimize wind abandonment,a hierarchical wind abandonment penalty strategy based on fuzzy control is designed and introduced,and the optimal grid-connected power of wind energy is determined as a result of minimizing the peak cutting cost of the system.Secondly,considering BESS and thermal power,the management approach of BESS-assisted virtual peak clipping of thermal power generators is aimed at reducing the degree of deep peak clipping of thermal power generators and optimizing the output of thermal power generators and the charging and discharging power of BESS.Finally,Give an example of how this strategy has been effective in reducing abandonment rates by 0.66% and 7.46% individually for different wind penetration programs,and the daily average can reduce the peak clipping power output of thermal power generators by 42.97 and 72.31 MWh and enhances the effect and economy of system peak clipping.

Numerical Simulation of Combustion in 660MWTangentially Fired Pulverized Coal Boiler on Ultra-Low Load Operation

In this paper,the combustion conditions in the boiler furnace of a 660 MWtangential fired pulverized coal boiler are numerically simulated at 15%and 20%rated loads,to study the flexibility of coal-fired power units on ultra-low load operation.The numerical results show that the boiler can operate safely at 15%and 20%ultra-low loads,and the combustion condition in the furnace is better at 20%load,and the tangent circles formed by each characteristic section in the furnace are better,and when the boiler load is decreased to 15%,the tangent circles in the furnace begin to deteriorate.The average flue gas temperature of different areas of the furnace shows that when the boiler furnace operates under ultra-low load conditions,the average smoke temperature of the cold ash hopper at 20%load is basically the same as the average smoke temperature at 15%load;in the burner area,the average smoke temperature of the cold ash hopper at 20%load is about 50 K higher than that at 15%load;in the burned out area,the average smoke temperature of the cold ash hopper at 20%load is slightly higher than that at 15%load.The average temperature of flue gas in the furnace showed a tendency to increase rapidly with the height of the furnace,then slow down and fluctuate the temperature in the burner area,and finally increase slightly in the burnout area due to the further combustion of combustible components to release heat,and then began to decrease.

Role of optimal transmission switching in accommodating renewable energy in deep peak regulation-enabled power systems

Due to the shortage of fossil energy and the pollution caused by combustion of fossil fuels,the proportion of renewable energy in power systems is gradually increasing across the world.Accordingly,the capacity of power systems to accommodate renewable energy must be improved.However,integration of a large amount of renewable energy into power grids may result in network congestion.Hence,in this study,optimal transmission switching(OTS)is considered as an important method of accommodating renewable energy.It is incorporated into the operation of a power grid along with deep peak regulation of thermal power units,forming an interactive mode of coordinated operation of source and network.A stochastic unit commitment model consider!ng deep peak regulation and OTS is established,and the role of OTS in promoting the accommodation of renewable energy is analyzed quantitatively.The results of case studies involving the IEEE 30-bus system demonstrate that OTS can enable utilization of the potential of deep peak regulation and facilitate the accommodation of renewable energy.

Flexible Operation Mode of Coal-fired Power Unit Coupling with Heat Storage of Extracted Reheat Steam

In order to provide more grid space for the renewable energy power,the traditional coal-fired power unit should be operated flexibility,especially achieved the deep peak shaving capacity.In this paper,a new scheme using the reheat steam extraction is proposed to further reduce the load far below 50%rated power.Two flexible operation modes of increasing power output mode and reducing fuel mode are proposed in heat discharging process.A 600 MW coal-fired power unit with 50%rated power is chosen as the research model.The results show that the power output is decreased from 300.03 MW to 210.07 MW when the extracted reheat steam flow rate is 270.70 t·h^(-1),which increases the deep peak shaving capacity by 15%rated power.The deep peak shaving time and the thermal efficiency are 7.63 h·d^(-1)and 36.91%respectively for the increasing power output mode,and they are 7.24 h·d^(-1)and 36.58%respectively for the reducing fuel mode.The increasing power output mode has the advantages of higher deep peak shaving time and the thermal efficiency,which is recommended as the preferred scheme for the flexible operation of the coal-fired power unit.

Day-ahead Optimal Dispatch Model for Coupled System Considering Ladder-type Ramping Rate and Flexible Spinning Reserve of Thermal Power Units

In northern China,thermal power units(TPUs)are important in improving the penetration level of renewable energy.In such areas,the potentials of coordinated dispatch of renewable energy sources(RESs)and TPUs can be better realized,if RESs and TPUs connected to the power grid at the same point of common coupling(PCC)are dispatched as a coupled system.Firstly,the definition of the coupled system is introduced,followed by an analysis on its characteristics.Secondly,based on the operation characteristics of deep peak regulation(DPR)of TPUs in the coupled system,the constraint of the ladder-type ramping rate applicable for day-ahead dispatch is proposed,and the corresponding flexible spinning reserve constraint is further established.Then,considering these constraints and peak regulation ancillary services,a day-ahead optimal dispatch model of the coupled system is established.Finally,the operational characteristics and advantages of the coupled system are analyzed in several case studies based on a real-world power grid in Liaoning province,China.The numerical results show that the coupled system can further improve the economic benefits of RESs and TPUs under the existing policies.
