Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a rolling optimization method for distribution network fault restoration considering the randomness of load and photovoltaic power Background Art

[0002] The fault self-healing of a distribution network means that after the fault location and isolation of the distribution network, by opening and closing its tie switches and sectionalizing switches, the topological structure of the power grid is changed to achieve the rapid restoration of the non-fault area. The existing research on traditional distribution networks has been very rich. In many studies, various methods including sectionalizing switches, remotely controllable switches, and dispatchable distributed generators (DG) have been used to establish an active distribution network fault reconstruction model. However, as a new type of power electronic device, the soft open point (SOP) has gradually replaced the traditional tie switch, bringing great potential to improve the operation flexibility of the distribution network. The SOP has the ability to transfer load, and its fault-side converter can be switched to a virtual power source to re-energize the affected area, thereby further improving the system's restoration ability. However, in many studies, the load and DG output after the fault are usually regarded as fixed values, without considering scenarios such as node voltage violation that may be caused by the random changes in DG output and load. Therefore, its reconstruction scheme often cannot meet the system operation constraints Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the above deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention proposes a two-layer rolling optimization strategy for distribution network fault restoration with SOP considering the uncertainty of load and photovoltaic output. The upper layer of the model takes the distribution network architecture, the operation of on-load tap changers (OLTCs), and the switching of capacitor banks as decision variables. The optimization objectives of the lower layer are the active and reactive power outputs of DGs, the power magnitude of load shedding, and the system network loss. By setting objective functions with the same mathematical form (the objective functions are full-time optimization and subsequent-time optimization respectively), the distribution network fault reconstruction and power flow optimization are realized. Secondly, this model essentially belongs to a large-scale linear programming model, and the second-order cone programming method is used for model transformation and solution. Finally, by performing model transformation and solution on an example, the factors affecting the distribution network fault restoration ability are obtained, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows

[0005] A rolling optimization method for distribution network fault restoration considering the randomness of load and photovoltaic power, characterized in that the method includes the following steps

The optimization objective of the lower layer is the active and reactive power output of distributed energy sources, the power magnitude of load shedding, and the system power loss during this period. By setting objective functions with the same mathematical form (the objective functions are for full-period optimization and subsequent-period optimization respectively), achieve distribution network fault reconstruction and power flow optimization.

[0009] S4: Obtain the relevant parameters required for optimization and solve the model.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S1, the modeling of load randomness and photovoltaic power generation randomness specifically includes:

[0011] S1-1: The daily load data of the distribution network is obtained from load forecasting. Use Gaussian distribution to describe the random prediction error of the load. Then the probability density function of the load data is:

[0012]

[0013]

[0014] where P LD and Q LD are the active and reactive power outputs of the load, μ LD is the output prediction value, and σ LD is the standard deviation of the prediction error. Generate 500 groups of random output scenarios through this probability density function and reduce them to 20 groups of scenarios for subsequent case studies through backward reduction.

[0015] S1-2: The photovoltaic output can be predicted according to meteorological conditions. Use normal distribution to describe the random prediction error of the photovoltaic power generation output. Then the probability density function of the active power output of the photovoltaic power generation is:

[0016]

[0017] where P PV is the active power of the photovoltaic output, μ PV is the output prediction value, and σ PV is the standard deviation of the prediction error. Generate 500 groups of random output scenarios through this probability density function and reduce them to 20 groups of scenarios for subsequent case studies through backward reduction.

[0018] Furthermore, in the step S2, a power flow constraint model, a node ZIP load constraint model, an OLTC regulation model, a topology and virtual power flow constraint model, and an SOP model are constructed, specifically including:

[0019] S2-1: The distribution network power flow model is a power flow equation established based on branch power. Compared with the traditional power flow calculation based on node power, the power flow model is more suitable for power flow calculation of radial distribution systems. In the distribution network reconfiguration problem, due to the problem of changes in branch opening and closing conditions, it is necessary to improve the traditional power flow model by introducing the line opening variable Z ij Relax the power flow equation and select the π-type equivalent line model to obtain the following power flow equation suitable for distribution network reconfiguration:

[0020]

[0021]

[0022]

[0023]

[0024]

[0025]

[0026] where Ω s [[ID=3']]is all the conducting branches, r ij and x ij are the resistance and reactance of branch ij, is the admittance of branch ij, Z ij is the opening variable of branch ij, Z ij = 1 represents that branch ij is in the open state, which is the prerequisite for the realization of formula (5) and formula (6); P ij,ω,t is the active power flowing from node i to node j on the branch; Q ij,ω,t is the reactive power flowing from node i to node j on the branch; is the square value of the current flowing from node i to node j on the branch; is the square value of the voltage of node i; and are the active and reactive power of the node when power is lost. is the active power output at the SOP port at node i, is the reactive power output at the SOP port at node i. and are the active power injected by distributed power sources and consumed by loads at node i respectively; is the photovoltaic power generation at the node, is the photovoltaic power waste at the node. Q i,ω,t is the sum of the reactive power injected at node i, P i,ω,t is the sum of the active power injected at node i. and are the reactive power injected by the distributed power source and consumed by the load at node i respectively. is the reactive power provided by the capacitor bank; Constraints on the upper and lower limits of the active and reactive power outputs of various devices:

[0027] Line power constraints:

[0028]

[0029]

[0030] Node voltage and current constraints:

[0031]

[0032]

[0033] Power loss constraints:

[0034]

[0035] Generator constraints:

[0036]

[0037]

[0038] Wind and photovoltaic power waste constraints:

[0039]

[0040] Among them, P ji , respectively represent the minimum and maximum active power of the line, Q ji , respectively represent the minimum and maximum reactive power of the line. U i , respectively represent the minimum and maximum voltages of the node. respectively represent the maximum active power and reactive power of the generator;

[0041] S2-2: The most widely accepted load model for the distribution network at the present stage is the ZIP model, which divides the load power demand into three parts: constant impedance (Z), constant current (I), and constant power (P). Then the load can be expressed in the following form:

[0042]

[0043]

[0044] where k p,1 +k p,2 +k p,3 =1, k q,1 +k q,2 +k q,3 =1, is the rated active power value at the rated voltage U N ; is the rated power value at the rated voltage U N ;

[0045] It can be seen that the nodal power is a non - linear function of the nodal voltage and cannot be incorporated into the linear programming model used in this paper. CVR is defined as the ratio of the percentage of active or reactive power to the percentage reduction in bus voltage. From the definition of CVR, an equivalent model for voltage - sensitive loads can be obtained, and the formula is as follows:

[0046]

[0047]

[0048] where and also Considering U i,ω,t ≈U N and it can be obtained that:

[0049]

[0050]

[0051] At this time, equations (17) and (18) have been linearized and can be included in the power flow constraints, and the value of CVR can be estimated from the ZIP coefficients of the load. Examining the original model and setting U N =1 p.u., it can be obtained that:

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] Through equations (23), (24) and the assumption U i,ω,t ≈U N , the value of CVR can be obtained as follows:

[0055] CVR P =2k P,1 +k P,2 (25)

[0056] CVR Q = 2k Q,1 + k Q,2 (26)

[0057] S2-3: The OLTC can adjust the output voltage within a certain range by adjusting the tap position. The model is established as follows:

[0058]

[0059]

[0060]

[0061] Among them, represents the tap position at time t, is the square value of the voltage corresponding to the tap position, is the square value of the OLTC output voltage, represents the square of the per-unit value of the voltage at node 1 at time t, U respectively represent the upper and lower limits of the node voltage at that place;

[0062] S2-4: The reconfiguration of the distribution network needs to ensure the connectivity of the reconfigured distribution system, and there are no islands and loops. Therefore, the connectivity and radiality constraints of the distribution system can be expressed as:

[0063]

[0064] X 12,t = z 12,t (31)

[0065]

[0066]

[0067]

[0068] Among them, E is the set of line nodes, z ij,t is the line outage variable, X ij,t is the parent-child node representation variable, X ij,t = 1 indicates that i is the parent node of j at time t, λ j,t is the virtual power flow demand of the node, is the virtual power flow supply of the generator, is the virtual line power, c(j), δ(j) represent the adjacent nodes of j, Ω DG represents the set of nodes connected to the distributed generator, Ω SOP represents the set of nodes connected to the SOP, ΩG It represents the set of nodes connected to the superior power grid. Formulas (32)-(34) indicate that the parent node of a node is at most one and must be greater than its own virtual power flow demand;

[0069] S2-5: SOP is a new type of intelligent distribution device that replaces the traditional tie switch. Its application will greatly improve the flexibility and controllability of the operation of the distribution system. However, the role of SOP in the self-healing process of the distribution network fault has been less studied. Compared with the tie switch, the power control of SOP is more accurate and reliable, avoiding the potential safety hazards that may be brought by switch operations. When a fault occurs, due to the role of DC isolation, it can effectively prevent the fault current from crossing; during the power supply restoration process, it can provide effective voltage support for the power-loss side, thus expanding the power supply restoration range. At present, the back-to-back voltage source converter (B2B VSC) type SOP is a relatively commonly used SOP, and its topological structure is realized by connecting two converters through a DC capacitor.

[0070] Adding SOP to the branches of the distribution system can, to a certain extent, improve the power flow distribution of the distribution system, reduce the system network loss, and balance the network voltage. After a fault occurs in the distribution network, a power-loss area is formed after fault location and isolation. As a distribution device that replaces the tie switch, SOP cannot restore power supply to any power-loss area in the entire distribution system. The following analyzes the power-loss areas where SOP can be used for power supply restoration.

[0071] After a fault in the distribution network, the power-loss areas formed after fault location and isolation can be divided into the following 3 cases according to the SOP access position:

[0072] 1) Neither end of the SOP is in the power-loss area;

[0073] 2) One end of the SOP is in the power-loss area and the other end is not in the power-loss area;

[0074] 3) Both ends of the SOP are in the power-loss area.

[0075] When a certain area can be connected to the superior network through the tie switch, the SOP operates in the PQ control mode and optimizes its active power output and reactive power output. When the power-loss area cannot be connected to the superior network through the tie switch, the SOP adopts V f control mode. At this time, the outlet voltage of the distribution network SOP and the switch states in the distribution network should be adjusted for fault recovery, and the remaining unrecovered loads form corresponding islands. Considering scenarios 1 and 2 comprehensively, the following SOP constraints are proposed:

[0076]

[0077]

[0078]

[0079] SOP power-off side voltage constraint:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, is the loss coefficient of SOP; is the SOP loss connected to node i; is the SOP capacity connected to node i; Ω n represents the set of power-off side nodes; U0 is the minimum limit value of the per-unit value of the power-off side node voltage, generally taken as 1.0; Equation (35) is the SOP active power constraint, Equation (36) is the SOP loss constraint, Equation (37) is the SOP capacity constraint, and Equation (38) indicates that if one end of the SOP is located on the power-off side, it is adjusted to V f Control mode;

[0082] In the step S3, the double-layer optimization and reconstruction model specifically includes:

[0083] S3-1: The upper-layer objective function is in the following form:

[0084]

[0085] Among them, α is the power-off cost coefficient, β is the wind and light abandonment cost coefficient, and γ is the SOP loss cost coefficient;

[0086] The goal of the upper-layer model is to complete the planning of the distribution network switch operation, OLTC operation, and capacitor bank switching every 1 hour at the moment and shortly after the fault occurs, considering the randomness of the load and photovoltaic power generation. S3-2: The lower-layer objective function is in the following form:

[0087]

[0088] The goal of the lower-layer model is to obtain the optimal solutions of the DG output, load shedding size, and network and SOP loss conditions within the next 15 minutes based on the current load and photovoltaic power generation forecasts, on the basis of determining the above equipment actions, and to maximize the power supply capacity of the power grid and reduce the system loss.

[0089] The objective functions described in the step S3 are full-time optimization and subsequent-time optimization respectively.

[0090] The present invention constructs a photovoltaic load randomness model, uses Gaussian distribution to describe the random prediction error of the load, and normal distribution to describe the random prediction error of the photovoltaic power generation output; constructs a power flow constraint model, a node ZIP load constraint model, an on-load tap changer (OLTC) regulation model, a topology and virtual power flow constraint model, and a soft open point (SOP) model; constructs a two-layer optimization and reconstruction model. The upper layer of the model takes the distribution network architecture, the operation of the on-load tap changer, and the switching of capacitor banks as decision variables, and the optimization objective of the lower layer is the active and reactive power output of distributed energy sources at this time period, the power magnitude of load shedding, and the system power loss magnitude. By setting objective functions with the same mathematical form (the objective functions are full-time period optimization and subsequent time period optimization respectively), the distribution network fault reconstruction and power flow optimization are realized. The present invention considers that the distribution network after network reconstruction is beneficial to reducing the phenomenon of abandoned electricity of distributed power sources and improving the accommodation rate of distributed power sources. At the same time, it also considers the division and effect of the two-stage decision-making work of distribution network reconstruction before and within the day. The power grid reconstruction plan can be obtained before the day, greatly reducing the calculation time of the decision-making within the day and taking into account the calculation accuracy. In addition, by making full use of the control of the power flow by SOP, the system power loss is reduced, and the power recovery ability of the system under fault conditions is improved.

[0091] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0092] 1) Considering the distribution network after network reconstruction is beneficial to reducing the phenomenon of abandoned electricity of distributed power sources and improving the accommodation rate of distributed power sources.

[0093] 2) Considering the division and effect of the two-stage decision-making work of distribution network reconstruction before and within the day, the power grid reconstruction plan can be obtained before the day, greatly reducing the calculation time of the decision-making within the day and taking into account the calculation accuracy.

[0094] 3) Considering the influence of SOP on distribution network reconstruction, by controlling the power flow by SOP, the system power loss is reduced, and the power recovery situation of the system under fault conditions is improved. Description of the Drawings

When the power outage area cannot be connected to the upper-level network through the tie switch, the SOP adopts V f control mode. At this time, the outlet voltage of the distribution network SOP and the switch state in the distribution network should be adjusted for fault recovery, and the remaining unrecovered loads form corresponding islands.

[0187] The goal of the upper-layer model is to complete the planning of the switching operations of the distribution network switches, OLTC operations, and capacitor bank switching every hour at the moment and in the subsequent time after a fault occurs, taking into account the randomness of the load and photovoltaic power generation. S3-2: The objective function form of the lower-layer model is as follows:

[0190] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the case study includes the following components:

[0191] I. Case study description and simulation result analysis

[0192] In order to verify its effectiveness, the present invention uses the system shown in Figure 2 for case study analysis. Three photovoltaic generators are placed at nodes 6, 10, and 27 respectively, and two wind turbines are placed at 13 and 30. The total output of the new energy devices is as shown in Figure 3 . The reference voltage is set to 12.66 KV, the voltage amplitude boundary is [0.95, 1.05] p.u., the maximum transmission power on the line is set to 4 MW. The SOP capacity upper limit is 0.8 MVA, the SOP loss coefficient is 0.01, the power outage cost coefficient in the upper and lower layer objective functions is 40, the curtailment cost coefficient of wind and light is 1, and the SOP loss cost coefficient is 2. CVR p and CVR q are 0.7692 and 2.2154 respectively.

[0193] To fully demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, another mode is set for comparative simulation analysis:

[0194] 1) Mode 1: The fault recovery strategy with tie switches and SOP proposed in the present invention.

[0195] 2) Mode 2: The fault recovery strategy without SOP and only with tie switches.

[0196] The simulation program is implemented in the Matlab environment of a computer with Windows10, Intel(R) CoreTM i5 CPU@3.5GHz, and 8GB memory. First, the action voltage values of the OLTC in Table 1 are obtained. Taking the 17th moment as an example, the system voltage distribution as shown in Figure 4 is obtained. From Figure 4It can be seen that the two peak points are at node 18 and node 27. Node 18 changes from SOP to V f Control is performed for regional voltage support. Node 27 is the main generator at this location, and the SOP at node 29 raises the voltage to the rated voltage. Figure 5 Indicates the losses of the system at each time period, Figure 6 Indicates the voltage distribution of the system and its change over time, Figure 7 Indicates the error magnitude of the second-order cone conversion at different nodes at different times. Calculate and compare the power outage rate, light energy absorption rate, wind energy absorption rate, maximum voltage, minimum voltage, and voltage deviation in the system under the above two operating modes. The specific statistical data is shown in Table 2.

[0199] Table 2 Comparison diagram of the two scenarios of the system

[0200]

[0201] As can be seen from Table 2, due to the precise power flow regulation ability of SOP, Mode 1 can reduce the power outage rate of the system, improve the light energy and wind energy absorption rates, and reduce the voltage deviation. Under the action of SOP, the power outage rate of Mode 1 is reduced by 9.02%, the light energy absorption rate is increased by 43.86%, and the wind energy absorption rate is increased by 33.6%. Thus, it can be seen that the SOP fault recovery strategy proposed in this invention can improve the recovery performance of the distribution system in the fault scenario.

CVR is defined as the ratio of the percentage of active or reactive power to the percentage of bus voltage reduction. The definition of CVR yields an equivalent model for voltage-sensitive loads, as follows: in, There are Considering U i,ω,t ≈U N and get: At this time, formulas (18) and (19) have been linearized and included in the power flow constraints, and the value of CVR is estimated from the ZIP coefficient of the load; the original model is examined and U is set N =1p.u., we get: By formula (24), (25) and assuming U i,ω,t ≈U N , the CVR value is as follows: CVR P =2k P,1 +k P,2 (26) CVR Q =2k Q,1 +k Q,2 (27) S2-3: OLTC adjusts the output voltage within a certain range by adjusting the tap position.

Its application will greatly improve the flexibility and controllability of distribution system operation. However, the role of the SOP in the self-healing process of distribution network faults has been less studied. Compared with tie switches, the power control of the SOP is more accurate and reliable, avoiding the potential safety hazards caused by switch operation. When a fault occurs, the DC isolation function can effectively prevent the fault current from passing through. During the power supply restoration process, it can provide effective voltage support for the power-off side, thereby expanding the power supply restoration range. Currently, the back-to-back voltage source converter (B2B VSC) type SOP is a relatively common SOP. Its topology is realized by two converters connected through a DC capacitor. Adding SOPs to distribution system branches improves power flow distribution, reduces system losses, and balances network voltage. After a distribution network fault occurs, a power outage area is formed after fault location and isolation. However, as a distribution device that replaces the tie switch, the SOP cannot restore power to any power outage area in the entire distribution system. The following article analyzes power outage areas that can be restored using the SOP. After a distribution network fault occurs, the power-off area formed by fault location and fault isolation can be divided into the following three situations based on the SOP access location: 1) Both ends of the SOP are not in the power-off area; 2) One end of the SOP is in the power-off area, while the other end is not in the power-off area; 3) Both ends of the SOP are in the power-off area; When a certain area can be connected to the upper network through the tie switch, SOP runs in PQ control mode and optimizes its active and reactive outputs; when the power-off area cannot be connected to the upper network through the tie switch, SOP adopts V f In the control mode, the outlet voltage of the distribution network SOP and the switch status in the distribution network should be adjusted to recover from the fault, and the remaining unrecovered loads form corresponding islands. Considering the two scenarios 1 and 2, the SOP constraints are proposed as follows: Voltage constraint on the SOP power-off side: in, is the loss coefficient of SOP; is the SOP loss connected to node i; is the SOP capacity connected to node i; Ω n represents the set of nodes on the power-off side; U0 is the minimum per-unit voltage limit of the nodes on the power-off side, which is generally 1.0; formula (36) is the SOP active power constraint, formula (37) is the SOP loss constraint, formula (38) is the SOP capacity constraint, and formula (39) indicates that if one end of the SOP is on the power-off side, it is adjusted to V f Control mode.
