Compensation Model of Deep Peak Load Regulation of Thermal Power Units with Flexibility Reform

Abstract

In the face of the increasingly severe situation of peak load regulation, this paper establishes a compensation model of deep peak load regulation of thermal power units which is beneficial to the flexibility reform and the active participation in the system's deep peak load regulation of thermal power units. The compensation fee is divided into three parts according to the principle of cost compensation and reasonable profit. First, through the capacity compensation fee compensate the fixed costs produced by flexibility reform of thermal power units. Second, through the energy compensation fee compensate the variable costs of thermal power units participating in the deep peak load regulation. Third, according to the benefits of thermal power units participating in the deep peak load regulation to give thermal power units reasonable profits. Three parts of the compensation fees can strengthen the confidence of enterprises to invest and improve the enthusiasm of the flexibility reform and the participation in deep peak load regulation. The case study shows that the compensation model of deep peak load regulation of thermal power units is feasible.
