AGGREGATION METHOD FOR DISPATCHING WIND AND SOLAR POWER PLANTS
The present invention relates to an aggregation method for dispatching the wind and solar power plants. The primary technical solutions include: introducing the power output complementarity indexes to characterize the average effect of the degree of power output complementarity between different power stations, using cohesive hierarchical clustering to identify the optimal cluster division under different division quantities, and introducing the economic efficiency theory to determine the optimal cluster quantity, which avoids the randomness and irrationality that may result from relying on the subjective determination of the number of clusters. According to the analysis of dozens of real-world wind and solar power cluster engineering in the Yunnan Power Grid, the results show that the invention can effectively reduce the number of directly dispatched power stations, and the uncertainty of wind and solar power output can be more accurately described in a cluster manner, presenting better reliability, concentration, and practicality.
METHOD FOR DESCRIBING POWER OUTPUT OF A CLUSTER OF WIND AND SOLAR POWER STATIONS CONSIDERING TIME-VARYING CHARACTERISTICS
A method for describing power output of a cluster of wind and solar power stations considering time-varying characteristics. The error function is employed to characterize the degree of difference in power output within periods, and split-level clustering is used to determine the optimal period division under different period division quantities. The economic efficiency theory is introduced to determine the ideal number of periods, avoiding the randomness and unreasonableness that may result from relying on the subjective determination of the number of clusters. This method can reasonably divide the wind and solar power output period, fully reflecting the time-varying law of wind and solar power generation. The results also can accurately reflect the distribution characteristics of the power output of the power station group at each time period, and the power output each time period shows better reliability, concentration, and practicality.
Real-time system and method for calibrating a water distribution network hydraulic model
Ultra-high accuracy elevation and pressure telemetry devices are used to develop an autonomous, self-calibrating hydraulic piping network computer simulation model. Virtual pressure reducing valve (PRV) model elements force a local downstream calibration of the model using the pressure telemetry data, overcoming the potential ill conditioned state when simulating wide ranging, real world operational conditions. This technique also creates a smaller solution set for calibration optimization algorithms such as machine learning. Additional benefits of this technique include the ability to ignore complex facilities such as pump stations, water storage tanks, and control valves enabling a more rapid development of the real-time water piping network computer simulation model.
System state estimation with asynchronous measurements
The present disclosure provides techniques for estimating network states using asynchronous measurements by leveraging network inertia. For example, a device configured in accordance with the techniques of the present disclosure may receive electrical parameter values corresponding to at least one first location within a power network and determine, based on the electrical parameter values and a previous estimated state of the power network, an estimated value of unknown electrical parameters that correspond to a second location within the power network. The device may further cause at least one device within the power network to modify operation based on the estimated value of the unknown electrical parameters. The leveraging of network inertia may obviate the need for probabilistic models or pseudo-measurements.
