Combined hybrid energy storage system and transmission grid model for peak shaving based on time series operation simulation

This study proposes a combined hybrid energy storage system(HESS) and transmission grid(TG) model, and a corresponding time series operation simulation(TSOS) model is established to relieve the peak-shaving pressure of power systems under the integration of renewable energy. First, a linear model for the optimal operation of the HESS is established, which considers the different power-efficiency characteristics of the pumped storage system, electrochemical storage system, and a new type of liquid compressed air energy storage. Second, a TSOS simulation model for peak shaving is built to maximize the power entering the grid from the wind farms and HESS. Based on the proposed model, this study considers the transmission capacity of a TG. By adding the power-flow constraints of the TG, a TSOS-based HESS and TG combination model for peak shaving is established. Finally, the improved IEEE-39 and IEEE-118 bus systems were considered as examples to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model.

Multi-Time Scale Operation and Simulation Strategy of the Park Based on Model Predictive Control

Due to the impact of source-load prediction power errors and uncertainties,the actual operation of the park will have a wide range of fluctuations compared with the expected state,resulting in its inability to achieve the expected economy.This paper constructs an operating simulation model of the park power grid operation considering demand response and proposes a multi-time scale operating simulation method that combines day-ahead optimization and model predictive control(MPC).In the day-ahead stage,an operating simulation plan that comprehensively considers the user’s side comfort and operating costs is proposed with a long-term time scale of 15 min.In order to cope with power fluctuations of photovoltaic,wind turbine and conventional load,MPC is used to track and roll correct the day-ahead operating simulation plan in the intra-day stage to meet the actual operating operation status of the park.Finally,the validity and economy of the operating simulation strategy are verified through the analysis of arithmetic examples.

Three-Dimensional Simulations of RESET Operation in Phase-Change Random Access Memory with Blade-Type Like Phase Change Layer by Finite Element Modeling

An optimized device structure for reducing the RESET current of phase-change random access memory （PCRAM） with blade-type like （BTL） phase change layer is proposed. The electrical thermal analysis of the BTL cell and the blade heater contactor structure by three-dimensional finite element modeling are compared with each other during RESET operation. The simulation results show that the programming region of the phase change layer in the BTL cell is much smaller, and thermal electrical distributions of the BTL cell are more concentrated on the TiN/GST interface. The results indicate that the BTL cell has the superiorities of increasing the heating efficiency, decreasing the power consumption and reducing the RESET current from 0.67mA to 0.32mA. Therefore, the BTL cell will be appropriate for high performance PCRAM device with lower power consumption and lower RESET current.

Value Evaluation Method for Pumped Storage in the New Power System

When integrating the generation of large-scale renewable energy,such as wind and solar energy,the supply and demand sides of the new power system will exhibit high uncertainty.Pumped storage power stations can improve flexible resource supply regulation in the power system,which is the key support and important guarantee for building low-carbon,safe,and efficient new power systems.Limited by the current operation mode and electricity price mechanism,the pumped storage power station cost cannot be effectively recovered,and the value cannot be reasonably compensated,resulting in difficult return on investment,single investment subjects,and notable industry development difficulties.According to the operational requirements of the new power system,combined with the various functions of pumped storage power stations,the value of pumped storage power stations in the new power system was analyzed.Based on the equivalent value substitution principle and system operation simulation,a pumped storage value evaluation method for the new power system was proposed.The new power system operation was simulated considering the dispatching model of wind and photovoltaic power abandonment penalties.Under the same dispatching objectives,the output of various power sources and power generation operating costs with and without pumped storage power stations in the system were compared.From economic,safety,social,and environmental benefit perspectives,a quantitative model of the pumped storage power station value was established,covering seven dimensions:asset investment savings,power generation operating cost reduction,flexible adjustment capability improvement,system resilience enhancement,power outage loss reduction,renewable energy consumption,and emission reduction promotion.Based on the new power system operation and planning data for southern China,the value of typical pumped storage power stations was analyzed,and the results showed that with new power system’s construction and development,the value of pumped storage power stations is increasing,and the value structure is closely related to power grid characteristics.This value evaluation method could provide references for pumped storage investment decisions,subsidy policies,and price mechanisms to fully utilize the role of pumped storage power stations and promote high-quality development of new power systems.

Techno-economic Analysis of Contingency Reserve Allocation Scheme for Combined UHV DC and AC Receiving-End Power System

In a UHV DC and AC combined system the UHVDC’s blocking fault becomes the most serious load balance contingency of the receiving end power system due to its large capacity.The amount of contingency reserve thus is largely increased.This paper proposes three distinct schemes for allocating contingency reserve to cover the power shortage caused by UHVDC’s blocking fault,and compares the economic cost of these schemes.An operation simulation method using a unit commitment technique is proposed for evaluating the operation costs associated with increasing contingency reserve.A real case study for a Jiangsu Province power system in China is presented to demonstrate that the best scheme is to share the contingency reserve with neighborhood power systems through the transmission capacity of UHVAC lines.
