Optimal Scheduling of Wind–Solar Power Generation and Coalbed Methane Well Pumping Systems
Abstract
With the integrated development of new energy and oil and gas production, introducing wind–solar–storage microgrids in coalbed methane well screw pump discharge systems enhances the renewable energy proportion while promoting green development. However, the cyclical, volatile, and random characteristics of wind and photovoltaic generation create scheduling challenges, with insufficient green power consumption reducing renewable energy utilization efficiency and increasing grid dependence. This study establishes an operation scheduling optimization model for coalbed methane well screw pump discharge systems under wind–solar–storage microgrids, minimizing daily operation costs with screw pump rotational speed as decision variables. The model incorporates power constraints of generation units and production constraints of screw pumps, solved using particle swarm optimization. Results demonstrate that energy storage batteries effectively smooth wind and photovoltaic fluctuations, enhance regulation capabilities, and improve green power utilization while reducing grid purchases and system operation costs. At different coalbed methane extraction stages, the model optimally adjusts screw pump rotational speed according to renewable generation, ensuring high pump efficiency while minimizing operation costs, enhancing green power consumption capacity, and meeting daily drainage requirements.
