Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an active distribution network voltage control method, and in particular to an active distribution network voltage control method taking into account the operation potential of a centralized energy station. Background Art

[0002] Distributed power sources represented by wind turbines / photovoltaics and centralized energy stations with electricity as the core are important means for clean energy utilization on the supply side and energy efficiency improvement on the consumer side. Therefore, the energy architecture that uses active distribution networks as energy transmission channels and uses centralized energy stations to achieve coordinated supply of multiple energies can achieve green and clean distributed energy integration and efficient utilization of multiple energy sources, and has been widely used.

[0003] With the increasing penetration of distributed energy and the demand for centralized energy stations, the safe and stable operation of distribution networks faces huge challenges, including changes in power flow direction and voltage deviation. Common distribution network voltage regulation devices include traditional on-load tap-changing transformers, capacitor banks, etc., as well as intelligent soft switches (SOPs) that can realize active power transmission and reactive power compensation between different feeders. At the same time, centralized energy stations contain a variety of energy supply and energy storage devices, and the demand side also has strong flexibility; through the reasonable energy supply and storage of energy supply and energy storage devices and the thermal management of cold and hot loads on the demand side, the energy demand can be transferred on the time axis, thereby changing the distribution network flow and achieving the improvement of the distribution network operation goals. Therefore, giving full play to the flexible potential of various adjustable resources of centralized energy stations, through reasonable management strategies, can effectively support the operation of distribution networks and improve voltage quality. It should be pointed out that the resource behavior characteristics and response characteristics that can be used by the regulation equipment at the distribution network level and the centralized energy station are quite different, and reasonable control strategies are needed to realize the complementary synergy of controllable equipment / resources at the energy distribution and energy consumption levels.

[0004] At present, the operation optimization of active distribution network mostly only uses its own regulating equipment to improve voltage quality, and there is no voltage control method that considers the operation potential of centralized energy stations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an active distribution network voltage control method that considers the operation potential of centralized energy stations, fully utilizes the flexibility of centralized energy station supply and demand equipment and demand response resources, and coordinates the operation of distribution network and energy station to improve the voltage operation level of active distribution network. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to establish an active distribution network voltage control method that takes into account the operating potential of a centralized energy station, aiming at the voltage optimization problem of an active distribution network including a centralized energy station, comprehensively consider the coordination of multiple constraints and multiple resources of the distribution network-energy station, and finally formulate a voltage optimization adjustment plan.

[0010] Step 4: Generate an active distribution network voltage optimization control scheme considering the operation potential of the centralized energy station.

[0011] The active distribution network voltage control method considering the operating potential of the centralized energy station proposed in the present invention is based on solving the voltage regulation problem of the active distribution network, fully considering the potential for improving the voltage level by the heat storage device and the thermal inertia of the building in the centralized energy station, and establishing an active distribution network voltage optimization control model considering the operating potential of the centralized energy station.

[0083] Example analysis:

[0084] For this embodiment, firstly, according to the selected active distribution network including multiple centralized energy stations, the distribution network and centralized energy station equipment parameters, electrical load, and outdoor temperature forecast value are input. Figure 2 As shown. In this system, the distribution network is connected to three centralized energy stations (the access locations are divided into nodes 11, 13 and 32). The centralized energy station equipment includes ground source heat pump units, electric boiler units, and hot water storage tanks. Assuming that the equipment parameters remain consistent, the rated power of the ground source heat pump and electric boiler units are 1500KW and 1000kW respectively, and the maximum storage capacity of the hot water storage tank is 20000kWh. The system is installed with 3 photovoltaic systems and 1 wind turbine unit. The parameters are shown in Table 1. Without considering the reactive support role of distributed power sources, it is assumed that all distributed power sources operate according to a fixed power factor of 0.9. The upper and lower limits of the building temperature are set to 18 and 22℃ respectively, the standard temperature is 20℃, the upper and lower limits of the daily average temperature are 19℃ and 21℃ respectively, and the air density and specific heat capacity are 1.2kg / m 3, 1.007kJ / (kg℃); the building parameters of the energy station are shown in Table 2. Two groups of SOPs with a capacity of 1000kVA are installed at nodes 12-22 and 18-33 respectively. The loss coefficient of each SOP converter is 0.02, and the SOP power injection node direction is set to the positive direction. The scheduling cycle is 1 day, the scheduling interval is 30min, and the system node voltage allowable range and expected range are [0.95,1.05] and [0.97,1.03] respectively. The system energy consumption and voltage offset weights are set to 0.7 and 0.3.

[0085] The computer hardware environment for performing optimization calculations is Intel I9-10900K, with a main frequency of 3.70GHz, a memory of 32GB, and a software environment of Windows 10 operating system.

[0086] For this embodiment, the energy storage device energy output from the centralized energy station and the building temperature change under the proposed strategy are shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 . Comparing the system operation results of considering or not considering the operation potential of the centralized energy station, Scheme 1 only considers the optimization of the distribution network itself (i.e., not considering the regulation of the energy station heat storage device and the building thermal inertia), Scheme 2 further considers the regulation potential of the centralized energy station thermal storage, and Scheme 3 considers the regulation of the heat storage device and the building thermal inertia at the same time. The system operation results of different schemes are shown in Table 3. The output of the centralized energy station and the indoor temperature in Scheme 2 and Scheme 3 are shown in Table 3. Figure 5 , Scheme 6 is the node maximum and minimum voltage curves of Schemes 1 and 3.

[0087] Comparing the operation results of Scheme 1 and Scheme 2 in Table 3, it can be seen that after considering the flexible storage-release characteristics of the thermal storage device, based on the timing characteristics of distributed power sources and energy efficiency consumption, the energy storage and energy release of the thermal storage device at different times can effectively change the energy consumption curve of the energy station and thus optimize the distribution network flow distribution. The maximum and minimum voltages of the nodes are closer to the reference values. Figure 5 Comparing the operation results of Scheme 2 and Scheme 3 in Table 3, considering the thermal demand response characteristics of the building, the indoor temperature of the building is kept high when the output of the distributed power source is large, absorbing more DG output nearby, improving the voltage level and reducing energy loss. Figure 6 By comparing Scheme 1 and Scheme 3 in Table 3, it can be seen that after considering the operating potential of the heat storage device of the centralized energy station and the thermal inertia of the building, the voltage deviation can be effectively reduced through the orderly storage and release of energy by the heat storage device and the regulation of the building temperature, and better voltage quality and operating economy can be obtained.
