Comprehensive evaluation index performance table. Therefore, in the current rapidly developing new energy landscape where conventional frequency regulation resources are insufficient, the proposed strategy allows for more economical and efficient utilization of energy storage to support the frequency regulation of thermal power units.
In order to enhance the frequency regulation capacity of thermal power units and reduce the associated costs, multi-constrained optimal control of energy storage combined thermal power participating in frequency regulation based on life loss model of energy storage has been proposed. The conclusions are as follows:
Energy storage systems allow energy consumption to be separated in time from the production of energy, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).
Additionally, a simplified model for the wear of thermal power units is also presented. Based on the fast response time and high response accuracy of energy storage, the frequency regulation loss resistance coefficient of energy storage and thermal power is constructed to improve the enthusiasm of energy storage.
In the past power grid dispatching, for the frequency regulation constraint of the combined system of thermal and energy storage, the thermal power units should meet its climbing ability and the energy storage should meet the SOC state limit, as described below.
