To address the power and energy balancing challenges faced by high-penetration renewable energy systems under long-term intermittent output conditions, this study proposes a multi-source, multi-timescale collaborative dispatch strategy (2MT-S) integrating wind, solar, hydro, thermal, and hydrogen energy resources. First, a long-term-to-day-ahead coupled scheduling framework is established based on intermittent output duration forecasts (3-day/10-day). By integrating seasonal hydrogen storage and pumped-storage hydroelectric plants, this framework achieves comprehensive coordination among electrochemical storage, thermal power, and other flexible resources. Second, a multi-time-horizon optimization model is developed to simultaneously minimize system operating costs and load curtailment costs. This model dynamically adjusts day-ahead scheduling boundary conditions based on long-term and short-term scheduling results, enabling cross-period resource complementarity during wind and photovoltaic generation troughs. Finally, comparative analysis on an enhanced IEEE 30-bus system demonstrates that compared to traditional day-ahead scheduling, this strategy significantly reduces renewable energy curtailment rates and load curtailment volumes during sustained low-generation periods, fully validating its significant advantages in enhancing power supply reliability and economic benefits.
