Distributionally Robust Dispatch of Thermal Units with Multiple Energy
Storage Considering Oxygen-enriched Deep Peaking Technology
Abstract
The growing penetration of renewable energy needs a large amount of
flexible resource to regulate in power systems. Current research mainly
focuses on individual flexibility of resources, the synergistic flexible
potential of thermal units with multi-energy storage systems remains
underexplored. Therefore, this paper proposes a distributionally robust
optimal dispatch method for multiple flexible resources including
thermal units and multiple energy storage. Firstly, a refined operation
model of units and energy storage is constructed. Specifically,
oxygen-enriched deep peaking of units and coordinated operation of
battery and hydrogen energy storage are considered. Secondly, a
data-driven distributionally robust optimization (DRO) model is
established to cope with the uncertainties of renewable energy. An
inexact columns and constraint generation (i-C&CG) method is then
developed to solve the model efficiently. Finally, a case study of a
provincial power system is conducted, and the results verify the
validity of the proposed method.
