TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the field of combined heat and power scheduling of integrated district energy systems, and more particularly, relates to an integrated energy system operational optimization method considering thermal inertia of district heating networks and buildings.


BACKGROUND

In recent years, wind power, as a renewable energy, has developed rapidly due to the mature technology, good economic performance, and high energy efficiency. By the end of 2015, the total installed capacity of wind power in the world reaches 423 GW, and the newly added installed capacity is 63 GW, wherein China accounts for 30.5 GW. The wind power in China is mainly developed in the three northern regions, which are rich in wind power resources and have great demand for heat load in winter. However, with the rapid development of the wind power, the wind power absorption is limited due to the strong coupling relationship between heat output and power output of the combined heat and power units. About 70% of the heat load is supplied by centralized combined heat and power (CHP) units in Jilin. The combined heat and power unit is generally operated in a mode of “thermal load following” in winter. This operation mode greatly limits the power output of the CHP unit. The heat load is high and the power load is low during the nighttime, so that the power supply exceeds the demand which causes serious wind abandonment during this period. According to the data from the National Energy Administration, in the first half of 2016, the national average wind power utilization hours are 917 h, the abandoned wind volume is 323 TWh, and the average wind power absorption rate is 21%. In short, the wind power absorption has become a key problem for the sustainable development of the wind power industry. In order to solve the problem of wind power absorption, electric power personnel have conducted a lot of researches, such as battery, electric boiler, etc. Considering the temporal and spatial relationship between the wind power and the heat load, that is, the regions and periods that have much wind power resources are generally the regions and periods with large demand for heat load, from the perspective of overall energy consumption, the district heating system can be used to provide more space for the wind power absorption.


SUMMARY
Technical Problem

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an integrated energy system operational optimization method considering thermal inertia of district heating networks and buildings. The method not only can utilize the transmission delay of the district heating system to coordinate the heat supply and demand balance, but also can utilize the thermal storage capacity of buildings to change heat load temporal distribution, thus improving an operational flexibility of a combined heat and power system, effectively improving a problem of wind power abandonment, and improving an overall economy of the system.

Beneficial Effects

Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages: according to the integrated energy system optimization method considering the thermal inertia of the district heating network and buildings provided by the embodiments of the present invention, a complete district heating network model is firstly established, comprising the nodal flow equilibrium, the pressure loss equation, the node temperature fusion equation, the transmission delay equation, and other operation constraints. Secondly, it is more practical to take the buildings as a thermal energy storage unit, and it is not necessary to additionally install thermal energy storage and other equipment, which can effectively improve the economic performance. Finally, a complete operational model involving all parts of source-network-load in the integrated energy system is established. The model can realize multiple-degree-of-freedom scheduling and increase the system operational flexibility. The optimization model can change the output of devices not only by the district heating network but also by the buildings. For example, the demand-side response method is the collaborative optimization of the source and the load. However, the model in this invention is the source-network-load collaborative optimization, and has larger adjustment range and the higher system operational flexibility. The operation optimization model of the integrated energy system can greatly improve the wind power absorption rate and has the better economic performance. In view of the thermal storage properties of the buildings, the heat load distribution can be changed to increase the heat load supply during the daytime when the output of the wind power is small, so as to store the heat in the buildings, and release the heat from the building during the nighttime when the output of the wind power is large, so as to reduce the output of the CHP unit and increase the wind power absorption. In view of the time delay of the district heating network, the heat supply and demand can be balanced in a longer time scale, and the unit output is directly changed without changing the heat load distribution, thus realizing a larger time scale and a larger capacity of output adjustment.

In the embodiment above, the step 20) comprises the following steps. As a structure diagram of an optimization model shown in FIG. 5, a district energy supply agent establishes an optimization model to solve a day-ahead scheduling plan of the unit and a power supply plan to achieve optimal economy. Since a transmission delay variable in the district heating network model above is a time-related variable and needs to be superimposed with a time variable, the transmission delay variable cannot be solved by general commercial optimization software, and it is considered that in actual district heating network operation, a quality adjustment mode is generally adopted, i.e., a temperature of the hot water is adjusted to ensure a fixed flow, and the fixed water flow is generally a design flow. Therefore, when the design water flow of the pipeline is determined, the transmission delay of each section of the pipeline is also determined, which can be used as a parameter input model, and the model can be solved by the general commercial software. The design water flow of the pipeline can be known by inquiring a design code (GB50019-2003) for a heating and ventilation air conditioner.


In step 201), an objective function is established, and the optimization model aims at economy, comprising an electricity purchasing cost, an operation and maintenance cost, a gas purchasing cost and a wind power abandonment penalty, as shown in Equation (30):

In the embodiment above, in the step 30), heating network parameters are substituted into Equations (12) and (13) to obtain a water flow rate of each pipeline section; the heating network parameters and the obtained water flow rates are substituted into Equations (16) and (17) to obtain a specific delay of each pipeline section; the specific delay is substituted into Equations (18) and (19) to obtain a delay period of each pipeline section; finally, the delay period of each pipeline section, the heating network parameters and system parameters are substituted into an integrated energy system optimization model to obtain the optimal scheduling plan; the outputs of the gas turbine and the gas boiler are controlled according to the optimal scheduling plan, and the electricity is purchased from the power grid and the wind power.


In the embodiment, the objective function and the constraint of the operation optimization model are both linear, so that the optimization operation model of the integrated energy system established according to the embodiment of the present invention is a typical mixed integer linear programming model. In the embodiment, the variables to be optimized comprise a day-ahead output plan of the unit, an electricity purchase plan, a temperature of a district heating network operating pipeline, and a control state of the secondary heat exchanger.


In the embodiment, the district heating network model containing the constraints of the nodal flow equilibrium, the node temperature fusion, the transmission delay, the transmission heat loss and the like is firstly established, and the operation optimization model of the integrated energy system is secondly established by taking a building as a heat storage unit and combining the district heating network model. In the embodiment of the present invention, the heating network and the user are included in scheduling, thermoelectric coupling is utilized, and the wind power absorption is promoted from the perspective of a thermodynamic system, so that the wind power absorption can be greatly improved, and the system operation cost can be effectively reduced. In view of the thermal storage capacity of the building, the heat load distribution is changed to change the output distribution of the CHP unit to realize more wind power absorption during the nighttime; and in the operation optimization model, in view of a district heating network delay, the output of the CHP unit and the heat load of the user are staggered to form a leading supply delay on the time scale, thus improving the wind power absorption and the system operation economy.


An embodiment is illustrated as follows. Taking an actual heating district in Jilin as an example, layout of the primary heating network in the district is shown in FIG. 6, with 50 pipelines, 24 nodes and 26 secondary heat exchangers in total. In addition to the district energy supply agent (DESA), an independent heat source is provided in the district for standby during peak heating, and V1/V2 is a peak-load regulating stop valve. A total installed capacity of wind power in Jilin is 5000 MW, which is absorbed by many districts, and in order to facilitate the research on the wind power absorption capacity of a single district, this case sets a 5 MW virtual wind turbine to be connected through a 10 kV distribution grid. The gas price in this district is 2.3 V/m3, the electricity price is 5.25 ¥/kWh, and the wind power penalty is 0.2 ¥/kWh. For the convenience of comparative analysis: Case 1 is set as a basic case, and the transmission delay of the district heating network and the thermal energy storage properties of the buildings are not considered in this case; only the heat storage properties of the house are considered in Case 2; and Case 3 is the model proposed in the embodiment of the present invention. Operational results of the cases are shown in Table 1.

1) Economy Analysis


It can be seen in Table 1 that the daily operation cost of Case 2 is saved by ¥ 3900 compared with Case 1, with a saving rate of 2.5%. In Case 2, the thermal storage of buildings is considered, i.e., a thermal storage device is introduced. By readjusting the heat load distribution, more wind power is absorbed, which increases the electricity purchasing cost, but simultaneously reduces the wind abandonment penalty. In addition, due to the introduction of the thermal storage device, the output is increased during the daytime when the power load is high, and the heat is stored in the buildings, while the output is reduced during the nighttime when the power load is low, and the heat stored in the buildings is released, so that the unit output is optimized, the gas and operational maintenance costs are reduced, and the economy is improved. In Case 3, the daily operation cost is saved by ¥ 10700, with a saving rate of 7.0% compared with Case 2, and is saved by ¥14600, with a saving rate of 9.3%, compared with Case 1. Thus, it can be seen that, considering the transmission delay of the district heating network, a larger space can be provided for the wind power absorption.


2) Wind Power Absorption Analysis


A wind power absorption amount is 30.51 MWh in Case 1, with an absorption rate of 51.6%. A wind power absorption amount is 51.04 MWh in Case 2, with a wind power absorption rate increased by 35.3% compared with Case 1. A wind power absorption amount is 56.93 MWh in Case 3, with an absorption rate of 96.2%, which is increased by 44.6% compared with Case 1 and is increased by 9.3% compared with Case 2. During the daytime (07:00-21:00), the power load is high but the heat load is low, and a fan output is low, and the wind power during this period can be absorbed in the three cases. During the nighttime (21:00-24:00) and the early morning (00:00-07:00), the power load is low and the fan output is large, so that serious wind power abandonment occurs during this period in Case 1; and in Case 2, due to the consideration of the heat storage properties of the building and the district heating network delay, the wind power absorption during this period is greatly improved. The foregoing is merely the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and it should be noted that those of ordinary skills in the art may further make a plurality of improvements and decorations without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and decorations shall also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
