Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of multi-energy distribution network technology, and in particular to a voltage control method for multi-energy distribution networks. Background Technology
[0002] Large-scale distributed photovoltaic (PV) grid connection transforms traditional distribution networks into multi-energy distribution networks. Due to fluctuations in PV output power, voltage fluctuations occur at and near grid-connected nodes. These fluctuations typically last for minutes. To ensure the supply voltage to users and reduce voltage fluctuations, multi-energy distribution networks require fast-adjusting voltage control devices, such as on-load tap changers, dynamic voltage regulators, and capacitor banks.
[0003] Current voltage control methods can pre-set voltage adjustment strategies, determine whether a threshold is exceeded based on voltage measurement data from observation points, and then control local adjustment equipment or photovoltaic inverters via serial communication and Modbus protocol. This method mainly utilizes local voltage information and can achieve local optimization, but the adjustment speed is slow. Current technology ignores the output uncertainty of distributed power sources, resulting in the superposition of voltage fluctuations and distributed power source fluctuations, which poses a risk of voltage fluctuations exceeding limits. In order to reduce the impact of uncertainty, a short-interval control strategy is required, which necessitates a high-bandwidth data acquisition system, faster voltage sensitivity factor estimation, and short-term renewable energy prediction algorithms, leading to higher costs.

[0031] Define local voltage control rules; analyze the upper and lower limits of voltage fluctuations caused by distributed power generation output; construct a global voltage control function; and solve the objective function using an algorithm.
[0032] 1. Define local voltage control rules, which is a passive method.
[0033] The local voltage control rule is to collect the control point voltage u, determine whether the following constraints are met, and set the reactive power output of the voltage compensation device.

[0047] In the formula λ is the upper limit of expectation. t To control variables, This represents the lower bound of the expectation.
[0048] 1.4 Therefore, the voltage fluctuation range can be determined as follows:

[0053] Active forecasting involves developing and optimizing measures based on the output of distributed power sources predicted in the day-ahead or ultra-short-term forecasts, with the point voltage qualification rate or equipment cost as the optimal objective function.
[0054] Example 3
[0055] Reference Figure 1 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the second embodiment in that it constructs a global voltage control function:
[0056] 1. Objective function: Taking into account both voltage fluctuation rate and voltage over-limit constraints, an objective function is constructed.
[0057] min(Δq j Δq j T +Φ t +Δvc)
[0058] In the formula, Δq j Φ represents the reactive power change of the voltage compensation device. t Δvc represents the loss after the voltage exceeds the limit, and Δvc represents the expenditure to reduce voltage fluctuation rate.

[0062]
[0063] In the formula, e represents the unit voltage warning lower limit expenditure coefficient.
[0064]
[0065] In the formula, q tc q represents the reactive power output of the compensation device. dg This indicates the reactive power of distributed power sources. This represents the lower limit of node voltage fluctuations caused by distributed generation fluctuations. This indicates the lower limit of the node voltage.
[0066]
[0067] This represents the upper limit of node voltage fluctuations caused by distributed power source fluctuations.
[0068] By solving the objective function using genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, or similar methods, the following results can be obtained: Figure 1The steps shown involve analyzing the local voltage fluctuation range; determining the local voltage value based on the current voltage and voltage fluctuation range; controlling the reactive power compensation device based on the local voltage control; formulating a global voltage optimization function; and achieving optimized adjustment of multiple reactive power compensation devices.
[0069] One approach is to perform day-ahead offline optimization using predicted PV power generation and load demand to minimize losses and tap change frequency.
[0070] Combined with Examples 1-3
[0071] By combining active and passive control, local voltage adjustment rules are predefined, and the upper and lower limits of voltage fluctuations caused by distributed power generation are estimated. A global voltage optimization control function is established to ensure that the voltage fluctuation rate of the multi-energy distribution network meets the requirements.
[0072] Reference Figure 2 To verify the effectiveness of the voltage control method proposed in this patent, a distribution network with a 110kV / 380V distribution transformer at the beginning was constructed based on PSACD. The system has a total of 20 nodes, with distributed photovoltaic power connected at nodes 7 and 13 respectively. The rated power is 30kW, the load power of each node is 2.5kW, the power factor is 0.85, the line type is overhead line, and the distance between each node is 500m.
[0073] Low voltage is likely to occur in the power distribution network during cloudy or rainy weather or at dusk when there is insufficient sunlight and the user load is high.
[0074] At 15:00, the load on nodes 12 and 13 doubled, and the voltage at node 16 fell below the lower limit, reaching 0.9 of the rated voltage. First, according to the local voltage control rules, the reactive power compensation device at node 15 was adjusted to increase the reactive power output and raise the voltage level. At 16:00, the voltage at node 16 returned to the rated level. That is, when the voltage is below the limit, the localized voltage adjustment rules can be used first, and the voltage can be adjusted by calling the reactive power compensation device near the load point.
[0075] At 17:00, due to significant fluctuations in photovoltaic output, node 16 experienced another period of low voltage, reaching 0.85% of the rated voltage. At this point, the reactive power compensation device at node 15 could no longer meet the compensation requirements. Therefore, an active control method was needed. Distributed photovoltaic output was represented by an interval, with the output fluctuation range being [2kW, 10kW]. A probabilistic model was not required to describe the distributed power output; according to this patent, the voltage fluctuation range [-0.04, -0.10] could be calculated. Based on the control model of this patent, the output of the reactive power compensation devices at nodes 15, 5, and 17 was adjusted. Combined with the reactive power of the distributed power sources at nodes 13 and 7, the voltage at node 16 was increased, reducing the voltage fluctuation rate. The entire adjustment process took 10 minutes, demonstrating rapid control response.
[0076] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
