Abstract

This paper proposes constructing a multi-energy complementary power generation system integrating hydropower, wind, and solar energy. Considering capacity configuration and optimization of the complementary power generation system, a dual-layer planning model is constructed. The outer layer aims to maximize the accessible scale of wind and solar energy, while the inner layer considers the matching degree between power output and grid load. The optimization uses a particle swarm algorithm to obtain wind and solar energy integration's optimal ratio and capacity configuration. The results indicate that a wind-solar ratio of around 1.25:1, with wind power installed capacity of 2350 MW and photovoltaic installed capacity of 1898 MW, results in maximum wind and solar installed capacity. Furthermore, installed capacity increases with increasing wind and solar curtailment rates and loss-of-load probabilities. When the loss-of-load probability is set to 3 %, the impact of wind and solar curtailment rates on the installed capacity ratio is relatively small. The complementary characteristics of wind and solar energy can be fully utilized, which better aligns with fluctuations in user loads, promoting the integration of wind and solar resources and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the system.
