Analysis of the value of coordinated new energy base power transmission from thermal power units under the dual carbon target
Provisionally accepted- State Grid Inner Mongolia Eastern Power Co, Ltd, Hohhot, China
The northwestern part of the country is covered with sandy and deserted areas, and is rich in wind, light and coal resources. Under the goal of ‘Carbon Neutral’ and ‘Carbon peaking’, the coordination of new energy base power transmission by thermal power units is an important way to solve the contradiction between new energy and load distribution, and an important measure to ensure the power supply of the new power system. With the goal of minimizing wind and light abandonment, a two-stage optimization model of day-ahead-intraday transmission is constructed to determine the optimal output of thermal power units in the process of coal-power coordinated transmission, and then calculate the economic and environmental values of thermal power units coordinating the transmission of new energy bases. The simulation example shows that coordinating thermal power units with renewable energy export can lead to a 129,712.24 yuan increase in revenue from green certificates for renewable energy exports, while also reducing curtailed wind and solar power generation by 5.59 × 10⁵ kW·h and decreasing carbon dioxide emissions by 7,986.8 tons.
