Heat storage in central heating networks has significant potential in reducing the energy supply costs of combined heat and power (CHP) units and improving renewable energy consumption. However
the system faces challenges in effective operation and dispatch optimization due to the coupling of heat and electricity and uncertainties in energy supply and demand. An energy dispatch optimization model considering heat-electricity semi-decoupling was developed on a system coupling CHP units with wind and solar power. A deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG)-based dispatch optimization method based on Markov decision processes was designed to address the issues of heat-electricity coupling and uncertainties in energy supply and demand during system operation. The real-time energy flow dispatch of the units was optimized by training neural networks to adapt to randomly changing energy supply and demand scenarios. Dispatching simulations were carried out for three typical load scenarios: high
regular
and low load. Results show that the DDPG-based heat-electricity semi-decoupling dispatch method can effectively adjust unit output
meeting both electricity and heat demands
while ensuring the safety and sustainability of the heating network. Compared with rule-based algorithms
the DDPG algorithm shows superiority in reducing overall dispatch costs and effectively utilizing wind and solar energy. In the three load scenarios
the DDPG algorithm reduces overall dispatch costs by 2.46%
7.49%
and 10.55%
respectively
and decreases curtailment rates of wind and solar power by 1.98
3.40
and 4.86 percentage points
respectively.
