Abstract:

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources has made the fluctuation of system net load increasingly prominent, posing higher flexibility requirements on system operation. To address this, an optimized dispatch strategy for integrated energy systems (IES) is proposed, taking into account the flexibility supply capacity under different operational states of the heating network. Firstly, based on interval optimization, the sub-hourly operational flexibility demand of the system is determined in response to the uncertainty of wind power and load. Secondly, by analyzing the impact of four types of changes in heat load and electrical net load on system operational flexibility and considering the upward/downward flexibility supply mechanism of combined heat and power units under dynamic heating network characteristics, a flexibility supply model for the heating network under different operational states is derived. Then, by clarifying the charging, discharging, and non-operating states of energy storage devices as well as their energy limit characteristics, a mathematical model for providing sub-hourly operational flexibility through energy storage is derived. A coordinated relationship between hourly-scale optimized dispatch decisions for the IES and sub-hourly operational flexibility constraints is established, thereby constructing an IES optimized dispatch model that takes into account the operational flexibility of multiple links including sources, networks, and storage. Finally, the proposed model is tested using the integrated energy E6-H8 and E57-H16 systems as examples, verifying that it can effectively improve system operational flexibility by optimizing energy storage and heating network flexibility resources.
