The Strategy of Considering the Participation of Doubly-Fed Pumped-Storage Units in Power Grid Frequency Regulation

Abstract

Facing the challenges of grid stability brought by the large-scale access of new energy to the grid, as one of the important means of frequency regulation of the grid, the doubly-fed pumped-storage units (DFPSU) have great practical significance in the study of the joint frequency regulation strategy with the thermal power unit (TPU). In order to reduce the frequency regulation pressure on the grid caused by the large-scale entry of new energy sources, this paper proposes a joint frequency regulation strategy for the TPU and DFPSU. Based on establishing the optimal scheduling model of the system, taking into account the minimum total operating cost and the optimal time as goals, the chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) is proposed to solve the model. Finally, through MATLAB simulation, the relevant examples are studied and analyzed, and the simulation results verify that the joint frequency regulation strategy in this paper can effectively improve the frequency regulation performance of the unit and the operation economy is good.
