Abstract:Tibet is rich in solar energy resources, and promoting the application level of photovoltaic is of great significance for improving power security and building a clean, low carbon, safe and efficient energy system. Aiming at the problems caused by the extreme conditions in Tibetan Plateau region, such as insufficient power supply capacity of regional power grid, low photovol taic utilization hours, and great influence of photovoltaic on power grid security and stability, the research is carried out taking the energy storage project of Yangyi 10 MW photovoltaic power station for example, which is connected to Tibet Dangxiong power station at an altitude of 4,700 meters. Firstly, the design of high altitude battery energy storage system is studied, the high altitude correction strategy and the selection principle to reduce capacity for energy storage converter are proposed, and the thermal management design of battery system is analyzed. Then the architecture and control strategy of photovoltaic energy storage control system are analyzed in details. Finally, combined with the power supply guarantee policy made by the government and the investment costs on operation and maintenance, the economy of energy storage system of this project is analyzed and evaluated. The results can provide a reference for the design of photovoltaic energy storage system in plateau area.
