Abstract

Under the goal of global carbon reduction, hydropower-wind-photovoltaic complementary operation (HWPCO) in the clean energy base (CEB) has become the key to achieving a high-quality clean energy supply. However, stochastic wind power and photovoltaic need the help of adjustable hydropower to get onto the grid in the HWPCO process, which makes the conflict between different power generation entities more and more complex. This paper takes Yalong River CEB as the research object and sets up the separate operation scenario and complementary operation scenario of hydropower stations and wind-photovoltaic plants. Meanwhile, the corresponding day-ahead schedule model considering the stability of the power system is established. On this basis, this paper analyzes changes in profit and loss indexes of each power generation entity and clarifies the profit and loss relationship of different power generation entities in the CEB. Further, based on the model group for quantifying contributions and the compensation electricity contribution value, this paper proposes the benefit compensation mechanism between the cascade hydropower station and wind-photovoltaic plants and the benefit compensation mechanism between each hydropower station within the cascade hydropower station. The main results of the research are as follows: (1) after HWPCO, the total revenue of wind-photovoltaic plants increases by 61.48 million RMB (8.61 million dollars), and the total revenue of the cascade hydropower station decreases by 10.77 million RMB (1.51 million dollars), which means wind-photovoltaic plants are the beneficiary and the cascade hydropower station is the loss. (2) after the benefit compensation, the total revenue of wind-photovoltaic plants increases by 20.97 million RMB (2.94 million dollars), and the total revenue of the cascade hydropower station increases by 29.74 million RMB (4.16 million dollars) compared with the hydropower-wind-photovoltaic separate operation (HWPSO). By the benefit compensation mechanism proposed in this paper, the benefit of each power generation entity can reach a relative balance in the Yalong River clean energy base.
