A novel optimization model for combined wind power accommodation and electric boiler with thermal storage

Abstract

Summary As the installed capacity of wind power continues to increase, the problem of curtailed wind power is becoming serious in China, especially in the northern region during the winter heating season. To solve the problem of wind‐heat conflict during the heating period in the Three North area, an electric boiler with thermal storage (EBTS) is installed at the end of the grid where wind power is difficult to accommodate and using curtailed wind power to supply heat promotes local accommodation. In this paper, a multi‐objective optimization model of wind power accommodation based on the wind power–EBTS system for heating is established. The goals of maximizing wind power accommodation, minimizing the number of times EBTS must be adjusted, and minimizing operating costs are presented, and a bi‐level optimization scheme is designed. An improved multi‐objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to solve these functions, and an optimal compromise solution from the generated Pareto solution set is filtered using the fuzzy membership method. Based on actual data from a demonstration project in China's Jilin Province, the simulation results verify that this method can effectively reduce operating costs and improve wind power accommodation.

Multistrategy Fusion Particle Swarm for Dynamic Economic Dispatch Optimization of Renewable Energy Sources

“…The economic operation of renewable energy sources has become a major research focus. Several optimization models and algorithms have been proposed, including those considering wind-heat systems [15], optimal power system dispatch under combined uncertainty of wind power [16], and real-time economic dispatch models accounting for renewable energy variations [17].…”

Three-Dimensional Transient Electric Field Characteristics of High Pressure Electrode Boilers

“…Ramonas Č et al [8] studied a space heating system consisting of a small wind turbine and a boiler and verified that the system is feasible. Yang et al [9] established a multi-objective optimization model of wind farm capacity based on wind power generation and heat supply by electron beam transmission system. They proposed maximizing wind power generation capacity, minimizing system adjustment times, and minimizing operating costs combined with electrode boilers' heat storage and energy storage to reduce operating costs.…”

Fast-Frequency-Response Control Method for Electrode Boilers Supporting New Energy Accommodation

“…Models for energy storage electric boilers and control strategies were established to support combined heat and power plants in meeting their heat demand while reducing their electrical output, thus increasing the utilization of wind power. In [6], to address the issue of challenging wind power integration in China's Three-North region, a multiobjective optimization model for wind power regulation was established, based on a wind power-thermal storage electric boiler heating system. The objectives of this model were to maximize wind power regulation capacity while minimizing the number of electric boiler regulation events and operational costs.…”
