Aiming at the problems of large-scale wind and solar grid connection, how to ensure the economy of system operation and how to realize fair scheduling between new energy power stations, a two-stage optimal dispatching model of wind power-photovoltaic-solar thermal combined system considering economic optimality and fairness is proposed.
Moreover, when combined with carbon trading mechanisms, energy storage systems can optimize the internal output plan of the power generation system, thereby maximizing the consumption of wind and solar power and minimizing the cost of power generation.
Literature suggests that constructing a dispatching model for a wind-solar-thermal hybrid power generation system, exploiting the peaking capacity of thermal power, can facilitate the connection of large-scale generated wind and solar power to the grid and promote their consumption levels .
The results showed that incorporating power storage and carbon trading simultaneously can effectively promote the collaborative dispatch on hybrid power with assistance of thermal, improve utilization rate of wind and solar power, while also reducing the costs associated with power generation. 1. Introduction
The final scenario combines wind power, PV, battery storage, and both types of DR. By integrating the strategies from Sections C and D, the system leverages all available flexibility mechanisms to optimize economic dispatch while maintaining operational stability. The comprehensive solution procedure is shown in Fig. 4.
As a result, thermal units prioritize dispatching ones with lower carbon emission factors, and the absence of energy storage systems may lead to thermal power units taking on all peaking tasks, and requiring more frequent adjustment of output to consume wind and solar in power generation.
