Probabilistic Analysis of Time-Series Production Simulation for Large-Scale Renewable Energy Bases in Desert-Gobi-Wasteland Regions Based on Dimension-Adaptive Sparse Grid Interpolation

Large-scale renewable energy bases in desert-gobi-wasteland regions, typically connected to load centers via long-distance weak tie-lines and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) corridors, face significant challenges in accurately and efficiently evaluating renewable energy accommodation rates and transmission corridor utilization. This study addresses the computational inefficiency of probabilistic time-series production simulation under dual uncertainties—stochastic renewable generation and planning variables such as installed capacity and peak load. A dimension-adaptive sparse grid interpolation (DASGI) surrogate model is proposed to approximate the complex original time-series production simulation model. The method integrates Monte Carlo sampling with the surrogate model to enable rapid probabilistic analysis and risk assessment. Experimental results demonstrate that the DASGI surrogate model achieves high fidelity with the original model while substantially reducing computation time. Furthermore, incorporating additional configuration points enhances the model's ability to precisely identify potential violation risks. The proposed approach offers a computationally efficient tool for uncertainty quantification in the planning of large-scale renewable energy bases and their HVDC transmission corridors, providing theoretical support for coordinated planning studies.

Spatiotemporal Thermodynamic Dynamic Load Modeling and Characteristic Analysis of Data Centers for Power System Applications

Data center expansion has driven a surge in energy consumption, and prediction deviations for high-density loads introduce risks to power grid planning and operation. Existing models exhibit significant limitations: they neglect temperature non-uniformity and the nonlinear impact of rack layout on airflow; rely on static power usage effectiveness (PUE) without accounting for the coupling between load fluctuations and cooling dynamic response; and linearize cooling systems, ignoring IT equipment–cooling system–thermal environment interactions. This paper proposes a spatiotemporal thermodynamic dynamic load model for data centers based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Spatially, a physical model incorporating cold aisle containment, server power, and layout is constructed; CFD simulations capture temperature non-uniformity and establish a collaborative IT power–temperature field–cooling power model. Temporally, IT load time-series fluctuations, thermal inertia response, and cooling power dynamics are coupled to quantify the impact of physical parameters on overall load at short time scales. Simulation results for a typical day show that traditional models, by neglecting these key parameters, may cause instantaneous load discrepancies of 12.56%–34.21%. Data center load characteristics are strongly coupled with internal thermal environment dynamics, and the proposed model provides a high-fidelity thermodynamic reference for data centers participating in grid interaction as flexible resources.
