Electric Thermal Balance Control Method of Plant Level Integrated Energy Systems Based on Robust Linear Optimization With Probability Density Bias Prediction Characteristics

ABSTRACT The rapid development of renewable energy has promoted the research of the integrated energy system. In particular, the joint optimal scheduling of renewable energy and traditional thermal power units is the key technology to solve the current renewable energy integration and the source network load balance. At present, the total installed capacity of cogeneration units is huge, which hinders the integration of renewable energy and the flexibility of the power grid regulation. Therefore, this paper proposes a robust optimal scheduling strategy for the plant‐level integrated energy system considering electricity‐heat balance. The wind power and solar energy are connected in parallel with the heating network of cogeneration units to decouple heat and power in a more economical and flexible way, while improving the integration of renewable energy. Based on the principle of Kang's robust optimization, robust optimization, a linear robust optimization probability density bias prediction optimization method for the plant‐level integrated energy system considering the electric‐heat balance is proposed in this paper. The dynamic nonlinear constraints in the output process of thermal and electrical loads are transformed into linear, which takes into account the conservatism of robust optimization and the economy of the objective function. The proposed optimization algorithm facilitates the integration of a high proportion of renewable energy into the power grid and is also applicable to other integrated energy systems with nonlinear constraint characteristics.
