Abstract: In an electricity and heat integrated energy system, the transmission of thermal energy encounters significant delays, and the delays are often not integer multiples of the dispatch interval. This mismatch poses challenges for achieving coordinated dispatch with the electric power system. To address this problem, the fictitious node method is proposed in this paper, offering a novel approach to calculating the quasi-dynamic characteristics of the heating network. Furthermore, to enhance the local consumption capacity of wind power, the heat storage capacity of the heat supply network was taken into consideration in this study, and a combined energy supply model equipped with electric boilers, incorporating combined heat and power (CHP) units and gas turbine units, was developed. This model effectively expands the operational range of CHP units and enables the decoupling of electricity and heat operations in gas turbine units. The analysis conducted demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method and model in achieving the coordinated dispatch of electricity and heat. Moreover, it highlighted the positive impact on the overall economy of system operation and the promotion of wind power consumption. The optimal configuration presented in this paper resulted in an 8.2% improvement in system operating economics and a 38.3% enhancement in wind power integration.
