Heating Loads

With the development of demand response technology, it is possible to reduce power shortages caused by loads participating in power grid dispatching. Based on the equivalent thermal parameter model, and taking full account of the virtual energy storage characteristics presented during electro-thermal conversion, a virtual energy storage model suitable for electric heating loads with different electrical and thermal parameters is proposed in this paper. To avoid communication congestion and simplify calculations, the model is processed by discretization and linearization. To simplify the model, a control strategy for electric heating load, based on the virtual state ofcharge priority list, is proposed. This paper simulates and analyzes a control example, explores the relevant theoretical basis affecting the control effect, and puts forward an optimization scheme for the control strategy. The simulation example proved that the proposed method in this paper can reduce power storage in the grid over a long period of time and can realize a power response in the grid.

Air conditioning loads are important resources for demand response. With the help of thermal energy storage capacity, they can reduce peak load, improve the reliability of power grid operations, and enhance the emergency capacity of a power grid, without affecting the comfort of the users. In this paper, a virtual energy storage model for inverter air conditioning loads, which reflects their operating characteristics and is more conducive to practical application, is established. Two parts are involved in the virtual energy storage model: An electrical parameter part, based on the operating characteristics, and a thermal parameter part, based on the equivalent thermal parameter model. The control function and restrictive conditions of the virtual energy storage are analyzed and a control strategy, based on virtual state-of-charge ranking, is proposed. The strategy controls the inverter air conditioners through re-assigning indoor temperature set-points within the pre-agreed protocol interval and gives priority those with a higher virtual state of charge. As a result, electric power consumption is reduced while the temperature remains unchanged, so that a shortage in the power system can be compensated for as much as possible, while the comfort of users is guaranteed. Simulation and example analyses show that the strategy is effective in controlling air conditioning loads. Additionally, the influences of load reduction target magnitude and communication time-step on the performance of the control strategy are analyzed.

The disadvantage of Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan power grid operation control mode is that the control effect is poorer and the spare capacity demand is big, this paper puts forward a new coordinated control strategy. First of all, this paper describes the relationship between the load, frequency, the output of generating unit, the tie line power and the area control error relationship of the whole power grid, according to the regional automatic generation control performance assessment criteria, concludes the characteristics of regional unit adjustment. This paper analyzes the contradiction between them, and then proposes a coordinated control strategy between the Beijing-Tangshan power grid and Tianjin power grid. The case simulation results prove the superiority and feasibility of the new coordinated control strategy. Compared with the original, the new strategy reduces the volatility of the unit, shortens the recovery time of frequency, and has a certain practical significance.

The stability problem of the power system becomes increasingly important for the penetration of renewable energy resources (RESs). The inclusion of electric vehicles (EVs) in a power system can not only promote the consumption of RESs, but also provide energy for the power grid if necessary. As a mobile energy storage unit (MESU), EVs should pay more attention to the service life of their batteries during operation. A hierarchical distributed control strategy was proposed in this paper for mobile energy storage clusters (MESCs) considering the life loss of each EV’s battery. This strategy was divided into a two-layer control structure. Firstly, numerous EVs were divided into different clusters according to their regional relationships. The lower layer adopted a distributed collaborative control approach for allocating energy among EVs in the cluster. Under this condition, an aggregate EVs response model was established and the characteristic of the MESC was analyzed. Secondly, the upper layer applied the multi-agent consensus algorithm to achieve the optimal allocation among different clusters. Therefore, the control strategy realized the two-way communication of energy between EVs and the power grid, and ensured the optimal economical dispatch for the mobile energy storage system (MESS). Finally, the simulation of testing examples verified the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

In order to efficiently use energy storage resources while meeting the power grid primary frequency modulation requirements, an adaptive droop coefficient and SOC balance-based primary frequency modulation control strategy for energy storage is proposed. Taking the SOC of energy storage battery as the control quantity, the depth of energy storage output is adaptively adjusted to prevent the saturation or exhaustion of energy storage SOC. The balanced control strategy is introduced to realize the rational utilization of resources and the fast balance of SOC in the process of primary frequency modulation of energy storage battery under different charge states. Then, four evaluation indexes are proposed to evaluate the effect of primary frequency modulation and SOC maintenance. Taking a regional power grid as an example, a simulation analysis is carried out under step load disturbance and continuous load disturbance. According to the simulation results, the proposed control strategy is effective in power system frequency regulation and battery SOC maintenance.

The increased installation capacity of grid-connected household photovoltaic (PV) systems has been witnessed worldwide, and the power grid is facing the challenges of overvoltage during peak power generation and limited frequency regulation performance. With the dual purpose of enhancing the power grid safety and improving the PV utilization rate, the maximum feed-in active power can be regulated by modifying the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm and battery energy storage (BES) accessibility as control instructions. However, the existing methods not only waste installed PV capacity, but it becomes no longer accessible when the state of charge (SOC) of the BES approaches its upper limit. In response to the above problem, this paper proposes a power limit control strategy to coordinate the MPPT algorithm and the BES accessibility. The proposed strategy directly controls the inverter output current according to the power limit instructions from the electric operation control centers, leading to a bus voltage difference. The difference serves as a control signal for BES and PV. Under a power-limiting scenario, priority is given to power regulation through energy storage to absorb the limited active power. When the SOC of the BES reaches the upper limit of charging, modification of the PV MPPT algorithm facilitates the inverter output power to meet the power limit requirements. To further verify the effectiveness of the proposed power limit control strategy, both simulation and experimental studies are conducted, which consistently indicated a synchronized inverter current with grid voltage and a rapid power response of the power-limiting instruction within 0.2 s. The power limit control strategy not only improves the PV energy utilization but also supports the safe and reliable operation of the power gird in the context of soaring renewable energy penetration.
