Description (excerpt):
The rapid expansion of wind and photovoltaic power has intensified the demand for deep peak shaving in coal-fired power units. Conventional extraction steam heating units are constrained by thermal–electric coupling, limiting their ability to operate flexibly at low loads. To support low-carbon energy transformation, there is a pressing need to develop optimization methods that enhance both flexibility and economic efficiency of combined heat and power operations.
