Abstract

In pursuit of the “double carbon” objectives, converting high-carbon thermal power plants into carbon capture power plants is recognized as an effective measure to mitigate carbon emissions. In order to improve the economy of the system, an electric hydrogen generation unit is introduced, and an economic dispatch strategy that considers the combination of a flexible carbon capture power plant and electric hydrogen generation is proposed. Firstly, the low-carbon principle of the flexible carbon capture plant is introduced, and secondly, the joint operation structure of the flexible carbon capture plant, pumped storage, and hydrogen generation is constructed in order to fully exploit the synergistic operation potential of the hydrogen and carbon capture plants. On this basis, an economic dispatch model with the objective of the lowest combined system cost of the sum of system operation cost, system carbon trading cost, hydrogen production revenue, and wind and light abandonment cost is established, fuzzy parameters are used to characterize the uncertainty levels of wind and light, fuzzy opportunity constraints are established, and the model is solved using an improved sparrow search algorithm. The results of the example show that the proposed model reduces the comprehensive cost by 20.9% and carbon emissions by 61.77% compared with the existing model, which has significant low-carbon economic benefits.
