Comprehensive energy efficiency optimization algorithm for steel load considering network reconstruction and demand response

Abstract

Abstract Industrial loads are usually energy intensive and inefficient. The optimization of energy efficiency management in steel plants is still in the early stage of development. Considering the topology of power grid, it is an urgent problem to improve the operation economy and load side energy efficiency of steel plants. In this paper, a two-level collaborative optimization method is proposed, which takes into account the dynamic reconstruction cost, transmission loss cost, energy cost and demand response benefit. The upper level objective is the optimization of topology in the grid structure to optimize the power loss and dynamic reconstruction costs of the grid. The lower level is the energy cost considering demand response, real time price and dynamic demand response price. Firstly, the mathematical models of stable load, impact load and the steel production line load are built. The key parameters are identified by the Back Propagation neural network algorithm according to the actual production data. Secondly, considering the constraints of grid structure and load operation capacity, the impact of dynamic grid loss and real-time dynamic electricity price on the energy efficiency of the whole grid are analyzed in depth. The optimal operation model considering the dynamic reconfiguration and grid tramission loss of distribution network is built. Taking a steel plant park in Northeast China as an example, it is proved that the optimization model can improve energy efficiency on the load side by optimizing energy consumption and demand response participation time on load side. The energy cost is reduced by 17.77% on the load side, the network loss is reduced by 1.8%, and the operating cost of the power grid is reduced by 26.2%, which has a positive effect on improving energy utilization efficiency, reducing distribution network loss, and improving overall economic efficiency.
