Abstract:

The nonlinear programming equation is produced by using the least fluctuation of the output power of a thermal power plant as the goal function, taking into account the operation features and restrictions of a wind-photovoltaic-thermal-storage multi-energy system. The whale optimization algorithm is enhanced by introducing nonlinear adaptive weights coefficient S1 and S2 in the process of encircling prey, bubble-net attacking, and searching for prey, which can coordinate the global search and local search ability of the algorithm. In a multi-energy system that includes wind, solar, and thermal storage, the enhanced method is utilized to solve the optimal design issue of an energy storage power station. The IEEE33-node system is used as the simulation model. The energy storage is positioned at the 13th node, with a configured capacity of 40.2 MWh and an ideal running cost of 13.29 million yuan per year, according to the findings of the upgraded whale optimization algorithm. The results demonstrate that the energy storage configuration strategy proposed in this study can effectively suppress the power fluctuation of the thermal power plant in a multi-energy system, and the peak-valley difference of thermal power plant decreases by 90.79% after the addition of energy storage, which effectively assists in the peak regulation. The optimal configuration technique described in this study is beneficial in boosting the development and construction of energy storage power plants and will give essential assistance for attaining the objectives of "dual carbon" and fostering energy revolution.
