Driven by the "dual-carbon" strategic
goals, the installed capacity of renewable energy sources, such as wind and
solar power, has continued to expand. However, the grid integration and
accommodation of high-penetration renewables intensify the peak-shaving and
frequency-regulation pressure on conventional thermal power units, thereby
increasing the operational costs and risks of the power system. Compared to
traditional thermal units, multiple types of generation resources, including
energy storage, pumped-storage hydropower, and virtual power plants (VPPs),
offer superior flexibility and diverse control methods, providing robust
support for peak and frequency regulation in modern power systems. Therefore,
this paper proposes an optimal coordination strategy for day-ahead peak shaving
and frequency regulation in power systems considering multiple generation
resources. By optimizing the output of various resources, this method
effectively reduces the peak-to-valley difference of the net load and
alleviates the peak-shaving burden on thermal units, while ensuring adequate
frequency-regulation reserves. Considering the distinct control characteristics
of each resource, a bi-level optimization strategy is designed. The upper-level
model, subject to the operational constraints of various generation resources
and a permissible curtailment rate, aims to minimize the variance of the net
load by coordinating flexible resources such as pumped-storage, battery
storage, and VPPs to smooth the net load curve. The lower-level model then
leverages the deep peak-shaving capability of thermal units. Subject to
satisfying frequency-regulation reserve requirements, it minimizes the
operational costs of thermal units by optimizing their generation schedules and
reserve capacity allocations. Finally, simulation analyses based on a
provincial power grid case study are conducted. The results demonstrate that
the proposed strategy can effectively enhance the economic efficiency and
stability of the power system's operation.
