Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of reactive power voltage control of regional power grids, and in particular to a method for controlling reactive power voltage of power grids taking into account source-load prediction errors and mutations. Technical Background
[0002] Renewable energy is being connected to regional power grids in large quantities due to environmental concerns, technological innovation, and new policies. However, this high penetration can lead to low grid voltage and increased power demand. Conventional voltage-regulating devices, such as voltage regulators, shunt capacitor banks, and on-load tap-changing transformers (OLTCs), struggle to quickly respond to sudden voltage fluctuations caused by the intermittent nature of renewable energy. Furthermore, frequent operation shortens the lifespan of the devices themselves.
[0003] Distributed power sources and soft-switching devices based on inverter control have attracted much attention due to their flexibility. Inverter-based distributed power sources offer many advantages, including loss minimization, reactive power support, and voltage regulation. However, existing inverter-based distributed power devices increase system losses when used for voltage regulation. Soft-switching devices are often used to reduce losses and balance feeder loads, but the voltage regulation effect is poor. Power electronics-based and conventional voltage regulators coexist in regional power grids, but the combined impact of these different devices on the energy-saving operation of regional power grids has not been studied. Conventional voltage regulators cannot be operated frequently due to their physical limitations. Currently, there are no reactive voltage control methods for power grids that address source-load prediction errors and sudden changes. Therefore, a reactive voltage control method for power grids that considers source-load prediction errors and sudden changes can be proposed to eliminate the risks associated with high-penetration renewable energy generation. Summary of the Invention

Combined with the constraints in step 2, the output configuration of conventional voltage regulation equipment, inverter-based distributed power supply equipment, and soft switches is given by random analysis based on k-means scenario reduction and discrete continuous optimization algorithm.
[0008] Step 4: Enter the intraday control stage. According to the day-ahead scheduling optimization results and forecast deviation, a rolling optimization control objective function based on model predictive control is constructed. Combined with the constraints in steps 2 and 3, the output scheme of the inverter-based distributed power supply equipment and soft switching device in this stage is determined.
[0009] Step 5: Enter the real-time control phase. Based on the results of the intraday control phase and the sudden changes in power generation and load, an autonomous control algorithm is used to determine the voltage and reactive power scheduling optimization of inverter-based distributed power devices and soft switches to alleviate the voltage fluctuation problems caused by the intermittent behavior of solar radiation and other meteorological factors.
