A variable-time day-ahead scheduling strategy considering spectrum analysis

To build a new type of power system, the proportion of renewable energy sources with wind and solar energy as the main body has increased into the power grid. Due to the strong randomness and volatility of renewable energy as a power source, thermal power units need to fluctuate frequently to respond to system power requirements. To ensure the smooth operation of the thermal power units, a variable period day scheduling strategy considering spectrum analysis is proposed. Firstly, different dispatching periods are divided according to the characteristics of system net load fluctuation, secondly, to minimize the total cost, the joint dispatching model of wind power, solar energy, thermal power, and energy storage is established to form a day-ahead dispatching plan with variable time period. Finally, an example shows that this strategy can increase the smooth operation of thermal power units and improve the utilization rate of pumped storage units.
