Multi-Time-Scale Optimal Scheduling of Integrated Energy System Considering Transmission Delay and Heat Storage of Heating Network

Abstract

In the integrated energy system, significant potential exists for the regulation of the heat storage capacity within the heating network. In relation to this attribute, the establishment of the quasi-dynamic model for the heating network is accomplished through the utilization of the fictitious node method. Additionally, a method is introduced to quantify the heat storage within the heating network. Moreover, a multi-time-scale scheduling approach is proposed for the integrated energy system, with consideration given to the heat storage of the heating network. During the day-ahead scheduling phase, the active regulation of the heat storage within the heating network is carried out to enhance the economy of system operation. Transitioning to the intra-day upper scheduling phase, the heat storage capacity of the heating network is utilized to eliminate the transmission delay effect, thereby achieving the coordinated scheduling of both electricity and heat. Shifting to the intra-day lower scheduling phase, the heat storage capacity of the heating network is utilized to enhance the operational flexibility of the power system. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the coordinated scheduling of electricity and heat in the integrated energy system can be effectively achieved through the utilization of the fictitious node method. Furthermore, the proposed multi-time-scale scheduling method, making full use of the heat storage characteristics of the heating network, can effectively suppress fluctuations in the new energy output and load demand while taking the economy into account. In this paper, it results in a 5.9% improvement in system operating economics and possesses the capacity to mitigate wind power fluctuations with an error rate of approximately 20%. This capability significantly enhances the integration of wind power as a sustainable energy source.
