Abstract: Electric-Steam Integrated Energy Systems (ES-IES) have garnered considerable attention in industrial applications due to their high energy utilization efficiency and energy density. Nonetheless, the limited thermal storage capacity of the steam system impacts the stability of ES-IES, posing a challenge for its implementation in scenarios with a high proportion of renewable energy sources. To address this limitation, this study demonstrates how the integration of a Steam Accumulator (SA) can enhance the stability of ES-IES through a dynamic simulation-based approach. Firstly, a novel method for simulating the steam system is introduced. This method utilizes a resolution-adaptive strategy based on the central implicit difference format to balance simulation accuracy and speed. Furthermore, a simulation framework for ES-IES is delineated, detailing the solution order of subsystems and system coupling interface parameter interaction method. Meanwhile, a comprehensive model and solution for the SA are proposed, aligning well with the aforementioned ES-IES simulation methods in terms of accuracy and complexity. Finally, case study demonstrated that equipping SA in ES-IES can effectively reduce its fault-recovery time by 57.9%, highlighting the efficacy of SA in promoting system stability and security.
