The Automatic Evaluation and Utilization Technology of Heating Network Heat Storage Considering Topological Configuration

The heat storage evaluation of the heating network in the integrated power and thermal system plays a crucial role in improving the flexibility of the system. However, there is still a lack of energy storage evaluation methods for complex heating networks. Therefore, this paper proposes an automatic evaluation and utilization technology for heating network heat storage in integrated power and thermal systems, considering the passive heat storage characteristics and regulation capabilities of thermal systems, based on the heat current method. This technology automates and standardizes the modeling of branched heating networks in integrated power and thermal systems. By considering the characteristics of electrical and thermal transport processes, this automatic evaluation and control technology can maximize the heat storage potential and regulation capabilities of thermal systems.
