Description
Summary:With the increasing of renewable energy penetration rate in power source structure, the impact of its uncertainty on the stability of the power system is becoming increasingly apparent. The power system faces dual pressures of ensuring power supply and renewable energy accommodation. The way in which to accurately plan the power structure under situations with a high renewable energy penetration rate has become an urgent issue for future power infrastructure upgrading. In this paper, a rational power structure model was proposed for a provincial power grid by iteratively optimizing variables. The synergistic relationship between renewable energy, traditional power sources, and the energy storage system was considered comprehensively and calculated through the time-series production simulation method. The as-proposed model was studied using a scenario of a provincial grid plan in the year 2035. The power balance, electricity consumption, and renewable energy utilization were systematically analyzed, providing an important theoretical basis for the optimization and upgrading of provincial power systems under the rapid growth of renewable energy.
