Thermal power units (TPUs) play a crucial role in accommodating the high penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) like wind turbines (WTs) and photovoltaics (PVs). This paper proposes an evaluation framework to quantitatively analyze the flexibility potential of retrofitted TPUs in enhancing the accommodate capability of RESs through coupling integration and optimal scheduling. Firstly, the coordination framework for coupling TPUs with RESs is outlined, including a comprehensive analysis of benefits and implementation strategies. Secondly, an annual optimal scheduling model for TPUs and RESs is developed, incorporating deep peak regulation services, ladder-type constraints for retrofitted TPUs, and their operational characteristics before and after the coupling integration. Thirdly, indices to evaluate RES accommodation levels and TPU regulation capacities are proposed to quantify the performance of power sources. Finally, a real-world case study is conducted to demonstrate that integrating retrofitted TPUs with RESs through coupling significantly enhances RES utilization by 3.6% and boosts TPUs’ downward regulation capabilities by 32%. |
