Abstract:

An optimized operation model for virtual power plants(VPPs),which considers the multi-energy coupling characteristics of energy parks,is proposed to address issues like energy supply-demand imbalance and operational inefficiency caused by large-scale integration of renewable energy into the power grid. First,the basic concept of a VPP tailored for a multi-energy coupling park was introduced. Then,a power balance model for various energy systems within the VPP was developed,taking into account both multi-energy economic operations and renewable energy consumption needs within the park. Building upon this power balance model,an optimal operation model for a multi-energy coupled VPP was formulated,utilizing mixed integer linear programming for solving the model. Finally,simulations were conducted on the VPP incorporating multi-energy coupling equipment,demonstrating that this optimized model significantly enhanced the comprehensive utilization efficiency of heterogeneous energy sources,reduced operational costs,and improved the rate of renewable energy consumption.

Key words: virtual power plant(VPP), multi-energy coupling, optimized operation, local consumption, "dual carbon" target, total operating cost, renewable energy consumption
