Abstract:

With the increasing proportion of wind power and photovoltaic power grids, the problem of wind and solar abandonment caused by an insufficient peak shaving capacity of cogeneration units becomes more evident during the hot weather. Phase change energy storage technology positively improves the flexibility and robustness of the integrated energy system. Therefore, this study establishes a comprehensive energy system model of wind/solar/gas cogeneration based on the phase change energy storage system (PCESS) with a heat pump. In this model, the least amount of wind and solar abandonment and the lowest total operating cost are optimization objectives, while the thermoelectric power balance, the output of each system's energy module, and the capacity status of energy storage equipment are constraints. Then, a dual fitness particleswarm optimization algorithm based on elite reverse learning is proposed. The elite reverse learning strategy enhances the algorithm's performance in finding solutions. The dual fitness algorithm solves the problem that the penalty function factor is difficult to obtain. Through case calculation, the improved optimization algorithm has a stronger global optimization ability and a faster calculation speed. According to the calculations, adding PCESS can effectively improve the system's wind power and photovoltaic energy utilization efficiency. The system's wind/solar output decreases from 722.1 kWh/d without PCESS to 163.4 kWh/d (a 77.4% decrease). PCESS improves the operation stability of cogeneration units in the system and reduces natural gas consumption. The system's operating cost decreases from 2488.5 to 2389.5 CNY/d, bringing remarkable economic benefits.
