The power balance of the new power system mainly based on new energy is facing an important technical challenge, and the participation of flexible load in power system regulation is an important way to enhance the active balance capability of the new power system. In view of the obvious seasonal and temporal characteristics of the electric and thermal loads, the new energy sources are “extremely cold and hot without wind” and “late peak without light”, and the thermoelectric loads in the new power system show the trend of anti-peak regulation. To address this problem, this paper analyzed the spatial and temporal characteristics and energy-use characteristics of electric and thermal loads, explored their regulation potential, focused on the control scenarios of electric and thermal controllable loads, and systematically gave a flexible scheduling strategy for electric and thermal loads to complete the flexible control and regulation of electric and thermal loads. The results realize the network-load cooperative optimization and flexible scheduling on the whole time scale, and thus verify the feasibility of the real-time participation of telectric and thermal loads in the scheduling of the grid.
