Abstract

The large-scale integration of renewable energy has reduced power system flexibility and exacerbated supply–demand imbalances. In industrial parks, the combined variability of high energy-consuming industrial loads and photovoltaic (PV) generation further complicates the energy management challenge. Aiming to enhance the operational flexibility of industrial parks and mitigate supply–demand imbalances, this paper proposes a multi-time-scale stochastic energy management strategy that accounts for the uncertainty associated with PV generation. First, a conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN) is employed to generate the representative PV generation scenarios, thereby enabling the modeling of PV generation uncertainty within the optimal dispatch model. Considering the coupling mechanisms and control characteristics of various regulation resources within the industrial park, a multi-time-scale dispatch model is developed. In the day-ahead dispatch phase, the operational costs are minimized by optimizing the production plans of industrial loads. In contrast, in the intraday phase, the more flexible measures, such as adjusting the tap positions of arc furnaces and controlling the charge/discharge of energy storage systems, are employed to smooth power fluctuations within the park. A case study validated the effectiveness of the proposed approach, demonstrating a 7.56% reduction in power fluctuations and a 4.34% decrease in daily operating costs. These results highlight the significance of leveraging industrial loads in park-level systems to enhance cost efficiency and renewable energy integration.
