Quantitative model of peak regulation cost caused by wind power generation

With the integration of large-scale wind power plants (WPPs), there is more and more demand for peak regulation service, and the peak regulation cost is increasing too. Reasonable calculation of peak regulation service cost caused by wind power generation (WPG) is the premise of stimulating conventional units to provide peak regulation services. After introducing the concept of peak regulation service in China, the impact of WPG on peak regulation is analyzed, and a quantitative model of peak regulation cost caused by WPG is put forward form the view point of the value of unit output adjustment. An optimization model with paid peak regulation is established to analyze the impact of WPG on peak regulation costs. The proposed method is tested on a 10-thermal power units system with WPPs, and the results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
