At present

the problem of abandoning wind and PV power in “Three North” region of China is particularly significant

and how to alleviate this problem has become the focus of universal attention. Calculation of renewable energy accommodation capacity is the basis to solve the problem of abandoning wind and PV power. Main problems of Chinese renewable energy accommodation is analyzed from power supply

power grid and load side aspects

and it focuses on the effect of inter-provincial tie-line to renewable energy accommodation capacity. At present

the interprovincial tie-line utilization level is limited

which affected renewable energy accommodation to a certain extent. Based on the sequential production simulation model

a new kind of renewable energy accommodation capacity model is put forward considering the utilization level of inter-provincial tie-line. According to different system stability constraints and different electricity constraints of inter-provincial tie-line

4 schemes are designed for comparative analysis

and the evaluation model is used to calculate renewable energy accommodation capacity of “Three North” region of China in 2020. Example analysis results verify validity of the model that releasing curve constraints

electricity constraints and stability constraints in turn can significantly enhance renewable energy accommodation capacity through effective use of inter-provincial tie-line transmission capacity. Research work in this paper can provide strong support for the planning and scheduling control of power grid.
