Two-Layer Optimal Scheduling and Economic Analysis of Composite Energy Storage with Thermal Power Deep Regulation Considering Uncertainty of Source and Load

Abstract

A two-layer scheduling method of energy storage that considers the uncertainty of both source and load is proposed to coordinate thermal power with composite energy storage to participate in the peak regulation of power systems. Firstly, considering the characteristics of thermal power deep peak regulation, a cost model of thermal power deep peak regulation is constructed and fuzzy parameters are used to manage the uncertainty of wind, photovoltaics, and load. Secondly, based on the peaking characteristics and operating costs of composite energy storage, a two-layer optimal scheduling model of energy storage is constructed. The upper layer takes pumped storage as the optimization goal to improve net load fluctuation and the optimal peak load benefit; the lower layer takes the system’s total peak load cost as the optimization goal and obtains a day-before scheduling plan for the energy storage system, using an improved gray wolf algorithm to process it. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy based on an IEEE 39-node system.
