Coordinated economic dispatch of the primary and secondary heating systems considering the boiler’s supplemental heating
Abstract
District heating systems have been widely used in large and medium-sized cities. Typical district heating systems consist of the primary heating system (PHS) and the secondary heating system (SHS) operating in isolation. However, the isolated dispatch of the PHS and the SHS has poor adjustability and large losses, resulting in unnecessary operation costs. To address these issues, a coordinated economic dispatching model (CEDM) for the primary and secondary heating systems considering the boiler’s supplemental heating is proposed in this study, which characterized the physical properties of the PHS and the SHS in detail. Considering that the PHS and the SHS are controlled separately without central operators in practice, it is difficult to dispatch them in a centralized method. Thus, the master-slave splitting algorithm is innovatively introduced to solve the CEDM in a decentralized way. Finally, a P6S12 system is utilized to analyze and verify the effectiveness and optimality of the proposed algorithm.
