Low carbon scheduling method of electric power system considering energy-intensive load regulation of electrofused magnesium and wind powerfluctuation stabilization

The significant expansion of wind power has presented challenging obstacles to power system operation. The inherent stochasticity and variability of wind power have emerged as critical issues that impede the advancement of wind energy, affecting its integration and volatility control. Moreover, with the momentum of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality objectives, reducing CO2 emissions has become urgent. This study proposes a low-carbon dispatching methodology for power systems to address these challenges. It considers regulating energy-intensive loads of electrically fused magnesium and mitigating wind power fluctuations. The approach involves integrating electrically Fused magnesium loads with tight regulation characteristics on the demand side alongside thermal power plants to optimize the power grid and dispatch collectively. And battery energy storage devices are introduced into various wind power stations on the supply side to smooth out wind power fluctuations. The objective function aims to minimize the sum of the average variance of power fluctuations at all wind power busbars while adhering to constraints of maximum wind power consumption and minimum carbon emissions from thermal power plants. The problem is solved using genetic algorithms. Ultimately, we show how effective our proposed low-carbon dispatching method for power systems is, which deals with regulating energy-intensive loads of electrically fused magnesium and reducing wind power fluctuations. We demonstrate this through a case study of wind curtailment, CO2 emissions, wind power fluctuations, and other related parameters under different conditions. The approach can enhance renewable energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions, and mitigate the power fluctuations of renewable energy.
