Optimal Scheduling of Multiple Energy Storage-Thermal Power Units under Electricity Market

Aiming at the increasing burden of power system peaking caused by the integration of large-scale new energy generation into the grid and the imperfect participation mechanisms for peaking entities in the power market, this paper proposes an optimal dispatch method for multiple storage and thermal power units. Firstly, to reduce the impact of the volatility of new energy generation on system peaking, the planned market trading power of new energy is optimally allocated with the goal of minimizing the net load on the grid. Secondly, a multi-storage lease transaction mechanism and an energy storage lease declaration model based on the whole life cycle cost are designed, and the charging and discharging power of individual storage units is optimized with the objective of maximizing revenue from multi-storage leasing. Finally, typical daily data are selected and simulated in the improved IEEE 30-bus system. The results show that the proposed method reduces the curtailment rate of new energy and effectively improves the economic efficiency of peaking for power market entities.
