POTENTIAL AND BARRIERS – The storage of thermal energy (typically from renewable energy sources, waste heat or surplus energy production) can replace heat and cold production from fossil fuels, reduce CO2 emissions and the need for costly peak power and heat production capacity.
Therefore, a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant equipped with an electric heater (EH) is implemented to join the peak regulation, and the joint peak regulation strategy between thermal power units (TPUs) and a CSP plant is proposed. Firstly, the peak regulation principle of a CSP plant with EH is analyzed in detail.
In the load mode of peak regulation, EH needs to meet operational constraints. The energy storage of TES should be within a reasonable range.
Thermal power plant operators have implemented various measures to deal with power grid load regulation requirements, such as reducing the low load and off-design operating time . Steam temperatures can fluctuate when the generation load of a CFPP changes rapidly under grid demand.
Among them, the changes in carbon emission quality, total peaking cost of TPUs, and power supply ratio of new energy are the most significant. The results demonstrate that the incorporation of a CSP plant and a DPR unit for peak regulation can effectively mitigate both environmental pollution and operating pressure in TPUs.
The peak regulation ability of the CSP plant is limited by illumination conditions and TES capacity in the conversion process of light-heat-electricity. To further improve the peak regulation capability, the integration of the CSP plant with EH is proposed to actively join the power system operation.
