A Mid/Long-Term Optimization Model of Power System Considering Cross-Regional Power Trade and Renewable Energy Absorption Interval

Abstract

With the integration of large-scale renewable energy into the power grids, cross-regional power trade can play a major role in promoting renewable energy consumption, as it can effectively achieve the optimal allocation of interconnected power grid resources and ensure the safe and economic operation of the power grid. An optimization model on a mid/long-term scale is established, considering the relationship between the renewable energy absorption interval and the regulation of resources in the system. The model is based on the load block curve and the renewable energy power model, considering the maintenance constraints of conventional units, the operation constraints of conventional units and renewable energy units, cross-regional power trade constraints and system operation constraints. By analyzing the results of the adapted IEEE RELIABILITY TEST SYSTEM (IEEE-RTS), the validity of the model and method proposed in this paper is proven. The results show that the coordinated optimization of conventional energy and renewable energy in the system can be achieved, and the complementarity of power supply and load can be promoted.
