Unlike traditional methods of electricity generation such as thermal power, renewable energy sources like wind power exhibit characteristics of randomness and volatility, leading to unstable power generation. With the continuous increase in grid-connected capacity of renewable energy sources like wind power, the demand for grid peak shaving is on the rise, highlighting the issue of inadequate peak shaving capacity in China’s power system. As a primary source for peak shaving in the country, thermal power units incur significant revenue losses when participating in deep peak shaving, and under the current mechanism, they cannot obtain sufficient compensation for deep peak shaving. In response to these issues, the paper proposes a method for compensating thermal power units for deep peak shaving. Firstly, considering the reduced efficiency of thermal power units during low-load operation, a cost model for the operation of thermal power units is established. Secondly, building upon the existing compensated peak shaving baseline, a method for compensating thermal power units for deep peak shaving is introduced. Finally, using a simulation of a local power grid in Liaoning Province as an example, an analysis of the compensation for thermal power peak shaving and overall profits under the existing mechanism and the proposed mechanism is conducted. The results obtained validate the rationality and effectiveness of the method proposed in the paper, offering insights for the development of a compensation mechanism for thermal power deep peak shaving.
