Two-level optimal scheduling of source–storage-load interactive distribution network based on particle swarm optimization algorithm

Abstract

In response to the difficulties of grid integration and consumption of a high proportion of new energy generation, as well as the high pressure on traditional thermal power generation to regulate peak loads, this paper constructs a wind-solar-fire-water complementary power generation system with “dual energy storage” and proposes a two-layer scheduling optimization strategy for this system. The scheduling model’s higher layer uses the system’s complementary power generation system’s maximum benefit as its objective function. The lower tier model has the minimization of the system’s cost of regulating load peaks as the objective function, and the model is solved by the improved adaptive immune particle swarm optimization algorithm considering various constraints. Taking the improved IEEE30 node system as an example for analysis, according to the operation of the original power system and the different characteristics of pumped storage and storage power plants, pumped storage and energy storage power stations are gradually added to the system for scheduling comparative analysis, and different capacities are configured, respectively. Through the analysis of examples, it is verified that the proposed dual-storage joint scheduling optimization strategy can effectively improve the overall operation of the system, reduce the peaking pressure of thermal power units, and achieve the expected goal of maximizing economic benefits. It also improves the new energy consumption in the region and alleviates the thermal power peaking pressure.
