The application of the large-capacity energy storage and heat storage devices in an integrated energy system with a high proportion of wind power penetration can improve the flexibility and wind power accommodation capacity of the system. However, the efficiency and cost of the flexible resource should also be taken into consideration when improving the new energy accommodation capacity. Based on these considerations, the authors try to construct a joint optimal scheduling model for day-ahead energy storage and heat storage that considers flexibility. The power supplies and devices will be modeled separately, which enables a universal applicability. The objective function is the minimum cost and wind curtailment. Various practical constraints are taken into account. The mixed integer programming and software GLPK is used to program and solve. The actual operation data of a provincial power grid in northern China is used to conduct simulation analysis in four different working conditions. The results show that the model can maintain economical efficiency under different working conditions. In addition, it can adjust and dispatch various power supplies and devices efficiently, significantly improving wind power accommodation of the system.Energies 2020, 13, 1073 2 of 18 in the northern regions. However, their power systems are dominated by thermal power units. In their actual operation, peak-shaving is usually undertaken by thermal power units. The penetration ratio of wind power has been increasing in recent years, and its reverse peak regulation characteristics and large fluctuations have brought certain difficulties to the formulation of the dispatching plan. As a result, the dispatching department usually adopts means of wind curtailment or even shuts down the units to ensure the stable operation of the power grid, which leads to energy waste and economy loss. Furthermore, during the heating period of more than half a year in north China, the combined heat and power (CHP) units usually are operated under the mode of "Following the thermal load" (FTL) in order to meet the demand for heating [4,5] (Refer to Table A1 for all acronyms). The demand for thermal load at night is high but the electrical load is low. The electric power generation level of the CHP unit adopting the mode of "FTL" is relatively higher, and the remaining power space is small. It is in this period that the wind resource is abundant. So, the application of "FTL" results in a large amount of wind curtailment. Nowadays, thermal power (TP) and CHP units have been transformed by installing heat storage devices (HSD) and electric boilers (EB) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. In addition, new flexible resources such as energy storage devices (ESD) and pumped storage power stations have been further developed [15][16][17][18][19]. The advancement in these two aspects provides new options for the peak regulation of power systems. In References [9,10], by adding HSDs, the "FTL" mode of CHP units was decoupled, and its adjustment ability was improved;...
