Research on the Capacity of In-Depth Peak Regulation of Large-Scale Heat Supply Unit Based on Characteristics of Thermal Storage of Heat Supply Network and Buildings

Against the backdrop that wind power is always abandoned in heat supply period in winter after wind power is taken into power grid in northern areas of China and there exists a big proportion of large-scale heat supply units in power grid, a method for in-depth peak regulation of large-scale heat supply unit based on characteristics of thermal storage of heat supply network and buildings is put forward in this paper, and a mathematical model for in-depth peak regulation is established. The calculation in a case indicates that the change of heat production of large-scale heat supply unit will not affect the quality of heat supply to a certain extent. During heat supply period, thermal load of heat supply network shall be moderately lowered to coordinate with the in-depth peak regulation when power grid is at its low ebb, and heat supply shall be moderately decreased based on characteristics of thermal storage of heat supply network and buildings when the peak regulation capacity of power grid is very limited, which indicates that it is feasible and practical to help power grid go through its low ebb with the peak regulation capacity gained here. Through the mathematical model established in this paper, time of thermal storage and thermal release as well as such units capacity of in-depth peak regulation can be calculated, which provides a scientific basis for dispatcher of power grid to conduct in-depth peak regulation of heat supply unit.
