Description
Summary:Reasonable configuration of equipment capacity can effectively improve the economics of wind-photovoltaic-battery hybrid generation system (WPB-HGS). Based on the current needs of investors to pay more attention to the economic benefits of WPB-HGS, this paper proposes a capacity configuration method for WPB-HGS considering return on investment (ROI). A bi-level planning model for integrated planning and operation of WPB-HGS was established. The lower-level model optimizes the system’s operating status with the goal of maximizing the daily power sales of the system. The upper-level model plans the equipment capacity of the WPB-HGS with the goal of maximizing the annual net income and return on investment. The model is solved using adaptive weighted particle swarm optimization. According to actual engineering examples, the specific equipment capacity is configured, and the configuration results are analyzed to verify the effectiveness of the method.
