Abstract: During the winter heating season in the northern China, many cogeneration units are incapable of peak regulation due to the demand of heat supply, which leads to abundant curtailments of wind power. In this paper, it is proposed that cogeneration plants can participate in regulation of curtailed wind power through decoupling the constraint of“power determined by heat”. The operation mechanism, technical characteristics and available scopes of peak regulation by cogeneration units are introduced. Moreover, the application and economic efficiency of this peak regulation mode are forecasted. Finally, the main topics of peak regulation by cogeneration units regarding power plants, power grids and national policies are discussed for future studies.

Key words: combined heat and power (CHP), peak load regulation, wind power integration, wind power curtailment, power system
