Abstract:

Large-scale new energy bases in desert, Gobi, and arid regions are key components of new-type power systems in China. Considering factors such as construction cost and carbon emissions, the capacities of thermal power and energy storage in these bases are limited, resulting in constrained flexibility. Consequently, the scheduling and operation of these large bases face significant challenges. This paper proposes a coordinated day-ahead and real-time scheduling method for wind-thermal-storage integrated bases. In the day-ahead stage, the startup/shutdown plans and adjustable output ranges of thermal units are determined based on a rough prediction of wind power. Then, it constructs a wind power accommodation interval based on the adjustable range of thermal power output and the operational constraints of energy storage. In the real-time stage, dispatch strategies are generated using a quantile-based rule according to current wind and solar power output, eliminating the need for high-precision forecasts. It is further demonstrated that the dispatch strategies generated by the quantile rule inherently satisfy system operational constraints. The case study validates the effectiveness of the proposed method for wind-thermal-storage systems. The results demonstrate that the proposed method, which does not rely on point prediction, outperforms rolling optimization methods when the three-step prediction error exceeds 10%. Moreover, the performance of operational scheduling can be improved by enhancing the accuracy of day-ahead or intraday short-term forecasts. The proposed method provides valuable reference for the operation of large-scale new energy bases.
