Abstract:

The construction of a new power system, with renewable energy as the main component, has become an inevitable trend in China's energy development.Using a large-scale energy base as the simulation object, a multi-energy complementary system operation revenue model incorporating molten salt heat storage was established. This system enabled energy storage and off-peak utilization by coupling thermal power units with molten salt heat storage systems, thereby improving the absorption rate of renewable energy. The model considered the multi-level peak-shaving benefits and ramping cost of thermal power plants, the operating cost of energy storage systems, and the penalty cost for curtaining renewable energy. The model was optimized with the objective of maximizing net system operation revenue, exploring the impact of thermal power unit heat storage retrofitting on renewable energy absorption and system operating economics. After integration of the molten salt heat storage system, the overall economic efficiency and utilisation rate of renewable energy in the system were significantly improved. In scenario 2, the system's daily net revenue reached 8.381 4 million yuan, an increase of 473 600 yuan compared to scenario 1. The wind energy utilization rate in Scenario 2 increased from 93.91% to 97.33%, while the photovoltaic utilization rate increased from 95.51% to 98.44%.
