Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power system control, and more specifically, to an active distribution network overvoltage control system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Connecting a large number of distributed power sources to a distribution network may lead to operational issues such as reverse power flow, which in turn raises the voltage at the grid connection point, transformer substations, and feeders. Overvoltage can cause distributed power sources to trip, jeopardizing operational safety. Therefore, overvoltage control technology is needed to address these issues.

[0003] The paper "Distributed Voltage Control in Distribution Networks with High-Penetration Photovoltaics" proposes a distributed voltage control strategy for distribution networks, achieving low-cost and rapid voltage control through reactive power coordination compensation and active power optimization reduction of the photovoltaic system. The paper "Local-Distributed Voltage Control in Distribution Networks with High-Penetration Photovoltaics" proposes a voltage control strategy for distribution networks with high-penetration photovoltaics based on the approximate voltage sensitivity of distribution network nodes and combining the characteristics of local control and distributed control. This strategy utilizes local measurement data and distributed communication information to achieve economical and rapid voltage control of the system through reactive power coordination control and active power optimization scheduling of key nodes.

[0004] Patent CN114421474B, "Estimation Method for Power-Voltage Sensitivity Between Distribution Network Nodes," proposes a method for estimating the power-voltage sensitivity between distribution network nodes. This method selects a number of nodes in the distribution network that is much smaller than the total number of nodes in the network. This avoids reliance on the distribution network topology and network equipment parameters, as well as the requirement to monitor all nodes in the network. It can also proactively adapt to the dynamic changes in the distribution network, effectively meeting the power-voltage control and evaluation needs of the distribution network. Patent CN114552593A, "An Evaluation Method for Reactive Power and Voltage Adjustment Elasticity Margin of Power Grid," proposes a method for evaluating the reactive power and voltage adjustment elasticity margin of power grid. This method quantifies and evaluates the adjustable reactive power and voltage resources in the power source, grid, load, and storage, and ultimately provides multiple classification margin indicators, overall system margin indicators, and level classifications. It aims to accurately quantify the elasticity margin of the adjustable reactive power and voltage resources of the power grid, providing a reliable and powerful reference for the optimal planning and control of the power grid and reactive power and voltage.

[0005] However, the above methods lack comprehensive consideration of complex overvoltage situations in multi-layered distribution network structures, and the control methods do not take into account voltage control sensitivity and adjustability margin.
