Abstract

Concentrating solar power (CSP) station is counted as a promising flexible power supply when the net load power curve is duck-shaped in high photovoltaic (PV) penetration power system, which may lead to the serious phenomenon of PV curtailment and a large-capacity power shortage. This paper presents a mitigation strategy that replaces thermal power station with CSP station to participate in the optimal operation of power system for solving the duck-shaped net load power curve problem. The proposed strategy utilizes the dispatchability of thermal storage system (TSS) and the fast output regulation of unit in the CSP station. Simultaneously, considering the operation constraints of CSP station and network security constraints of the system, an optimization model is developed to minimize the overall cost including operation and penalty. The results obtained by nonlinear optimization function demonstrate that the replacement of concentrating solar power (CSP) station contributes to reducing the PV curtailment and lost load, while increasing the available equivalent slope for power balance. Thus, the proposed mitigation strategy can promote the penetration of PV generation and improve the flexibility of power system.
