TY - JOUR TI - Energy saving optimization of thermal power co-generation automation system in power plant AU - Zhang Haiying JN - Thermal Science PY - 2023 VL - 27 IS - 2 SP - 1249 EP - 1256 PT - Article AB - In order to establish a new optimal load distribution between CHP units and wind turbines and realize a new type of energy-saving dispatching, the authors proposed a dispatching system based on smart grid. The author proposed that the heat pump with electric drive air conditioning should share part of the heating load of the hot water radiator, accordingly, the supply of heating water is reduced, increase heating power load. This directly leads to the increase of the total power load in the grid and the decrease of the total heating and hot water load, changing the proportion of thermal power load. Based on the new heating water and power load constraints, a mathematical model of optimal scheduling is established, the energy-saving dispatching of cogeneration units and wind turbines is realized. The simulation results show that using the new energy-saving scheduling method, 342.4 MWh of fuel can be saved per hour, and the energy saving benefit is about 8.83%. If the calorific value of standard coal is 29271 kJ/kg, this means that the fuel consumption savings per hour is about 42.14 ton standard coal. The calculation results show that the higher the value is, the more economically feasible the feed-in price of wind power is. In conclusion based on the current electricity price and heating heat price, in order to ensure that the economic benefits of each participant are not changed, the feed-in price of wind power is discussed, and the economic feasibility of the method is proved.
