Power system stochastic optimal dispatch considering thermal and electrical coordination

The strong coupling between heating supply and power generation in heat and power (CHP) units limits their consumption of wind power and lacks the necessary flexibility. Based on the theory of heat transfer, this paper considers the temperature loss and energy storage characteristics on the transmission side to establish a stochastic optimal dispatch model of considering thermal and electrical coordination. Utilization of the energy storage characteristics of the district heating network (DHN) to reduce the wind power curtailment and accommodate variable wind power. Benders decomposition algorithm is used to solve the model and improve the efficiency of the solution. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed model and algorithm was verified by a thermal/electrical system example, and the energy storage characteristics of the DHN were quantitatively analyzed.
