Abstract:

Battery energy storage (BES) is one of the most effective resources for consuming renewable energy and ensuring frequency security. With large-scale integration into power grids, BESs coordinate with thermal power units to participate in peak regulation and frequency regulation, and must reserve sufficient capacity in advance. The required frequency regulation capacity is determined by the implicit relationship between frequency and power. Existing methods linearize the frequency regulation capacity model according to the mixed integer linear programming framework of the unit commitment problem, which ensure computational efficiency at the cost of increased approximation errors. To address the trade-off between model accuracy and computational efficiency, this paper develops a frequency-power relationship model based on the universal approximation theorem of deep neural network (DNN), which not only keeps the structure of unit commitment problem unchanged but also theoretically approximates the original model with arbitrary accuracy. Based on this method, a joint scheduling method for battery energy storage in unit commitment is proposed. First, the mechanism of multi-source joint frequency regulation is analyzed, and a control strategy is developed in which energy storage provides fast power support in response to load step disturbance. According to this control strategy, a DNN is built to predict the maximum disturbance that the system can withstand, and a frequency regulation capacity reservation method for energy storage is proposed. Then, a joint scheduling model for BES peak and frequency regulation is developed to optimize the unit operating state and the capacity allocation of energy storage for the above services. Finally, the simulation results of case studies based on the IEEE 39-bus system verify that the proposed method can ensure the frequency security of the system under the maximum step disturbance, and improve the economy of the system operation, demonstrating the superiority of data-driven methods in representing frequency fluctuations.
