Abstract:

In the projects of combined heat and power, the application of large capacity heat storage can improve the flexibility of power system operation control, so as to enhance the system ability to absorb wind power. To study the necessity of heat storage tank configuration, a cost-benefit model of heat storage tank configuration for thermal power plants was established, and the total revenue of heat storage tank configuration for thermal power plants was calculated by substituting the parameters obtained from the electrothermal comprehensive dispatching model of power systems with heat storage. The simulation example was solved by the mathematical programming solver GUROBI in MATLAB. The simulation results show that there is an optimal capacity of heat storage system to make the overall efficiency best and the model can effectively analyze the necessity of heat storage tank configuration in thermal power plants.

Key words: thermal power plant, thermal storage, heat storage tank, wind power consumption, total revenue
