Therefore, there have been a few demonstration applications of wind-PV-storage hybrid systems in China. However, large-scale renewable energy access on power grids results in the problem of renewable energy accommodation, causing the function of conventional thermal power units transforming from power generation to frequency and peak regulation.

Peak-regulation refers to the planned regulation of generation to follow the load variation pattern either in peak load or valley load periods. Sufficient peak-regulation capability is necessary for the reliable and secure operation of power grid, especially in urban regions with extremely large peak–valley load difference (Jin et al., 2020).

In the past few decades, photovoltaic (PV) plants and large-scale reservoirs are established worldwide [1, 2], highlighting the importance of hydropower-solar complementary scheduling [3, 4].While solar power is convenient and cost-effective, its output often exhibits uncontrollable and fluctuating patterns due to multiple environmental factors like solar radiation

Therefore, a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant equipped with an electric heater (EH) is implemented to join the peak regulation, and the joint peak regulation strategy between thermal power units (TPUs) and a CSP plant is proposed. Firstly, the peak regulation principle of a CSP plant with EH is analyzed in detail.
Notably, simulations incorporating renewable energy sources—such as wind and solar—indicate distinct peaks in power generation: solar energy generally peaks at noon.
According to the output characteristics of thermal power units during peak regulation operation, they can be divided into three stages: regular peak regulation (RPR), deep peak regulation with out oil (DPR) and deep peak regulation with oil (DPRO), as shown in Figure 1. Schematic diagram of thermal power unit peaking process.
The peak regulation ability of the CSP plant is limited by illumination conditions and TES capacity in the conversion process of light-heat-electricity. To further improve the peak regulation capability, the integration of the CSP plant with EH is proposed to actively join the power system operation.
Solar power generation with thermal energy storage (TES) can be decoupled from the power grid, which makes the power station itself flexible, and hence, can be endowed with the role of a peak shaving power station to absorb more wind and PV power by the grid [1].
Thus, the introduction of EH further expands the adjustment ability of the system and the accommodation space for wind energy. In summary, the joint operation of a CSP plant equipped with EH and a DPR unit can effectively improve the peak regulation depth and accommodation capability for wind power. 4.3.2.
