The cogeneration virtual power plant with hydrogen storage provides a new path for hydrogen storage to participate in grid scheduling and consume new energy by combining the cogeneration characteristics of the aggregated resources.First,the cogeneration characteristics of hydrogen storage energy are fully considered,and the day-ahead scheduling optimization model that minimizes the comprehensive operating cost of the virtual power plant is established to make decisions on the day-ahead output plan of the aggregated resources under the condition of meeting the heat and electricity load demand.Then,the day-ahead hydrogen demand forecast model is established by considering the load-side hydrogen demand,including the hydrogen fuel demand of hydrogen buses and hydrogen cars.Next,the hydrogen demand is embedded as a constraintinto the virtual power plant day-ahead scheduling optimization model to obtain the optimal operation strategy of the virtual power plant under the consideration of hydrogen load demand.Finally,a simulation analysis in a park is conducted,and the results show that the operating cost of the optimal scheduling strategy of the virtual power plant considering the revenue from hydrogen sales is reduced by 24.6%compared with the traditional virtual power plant scheduling strategy only considering the characteristics of hydrogen storage cogeneration.
