Analysis of Unit Commitment of Coal-fired Units in a Power Base of Cross-area DC Transmission Lines Under Dual Carbon Targets

China has announced achieving a carbon peak before 2030 and neutralization by 2060. Cross-area UHVDC transmission provides a feasible way for the new energy base to transmit power to the load center on a large scale. Usually, the dispatching of coal power units of DC transmission line power base is divided according to the equal proportion of unit capacity, this paper takes all the units as a group and proposes a unit commitment solution to realize lower carbon emission. As the capacity of new energy in the power base increases, this paper also considers the generation margin for new energy to do the optimization simulation. The results show that by operating coal-fired units as a group, it operates in a more economic and environmentally friendly way.
