Abstract


Wind power faces significant challenges in grid integration, particularly during the heating season when thermal power plants must prioritize heat supply. This reduces the ability to adjust power output and leads to wasted renewable energy. This paper proposes an optimization approach for the coordinated operation of power and heat systems to enhance wind power utilization. The developed model considers factors such as transmission limits, delays, and thermal losses, ensuring effective coordination between the two systems. The optimization method improves flexibility in power adjustment and enhances overall operational efficiency. Results show that applying the coordinated model significantly increases wind power utilization, minimizes energy waste, and improves operational performance. This research provides an important scientific basis for developing technical solutions and policies to promote sustainable wind power development.
