[0090] In one specific embodiment, the converter station capacity optimization configuration method based on a flexible DC interconnection system provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0091] Step S101: With the pre-stored outer optimization model having completed population initialization, the pre-stored inner optimization model is then initialized. Specifically, the inner optimization model's population initialization is completed by setting inner optimization target parameters; wherein the inner optimization target parameters include at least population size, spatial dimension, number of iterations, constraints, and inertia weight parameters. The outer optimization model's population initialization is completed by initializing outer parameters and setting outer optimization target parameters; wherein the outer parameters include at least cost, engineering, and capacity, and the outer optimization target parameters include at least population size, spatial dimension, number of iterations, constraints, and inertia weight parameters.

[0099] Furthermore, to improve the accuracy of the optimization results, iterative optimization can also be used to obtain the results. Therefore, step S104 specifically includes:

[0100] The process of solving the outer optimization model based on the current converter station capacity to obtain the optimization result specifically includes:

[0101] Based on the current converter station capacity, the outer optimization model is solved to obtain the current optimization result;

[0102] Update the position and velocity of each particle in the population based on the current optimization results;

[0103] When the maximum number of outer-layer iterations for updating the position and velocity of each particle in the population based on the current optimization result reaches the second threshold, the current optimization result is used as the optimization result and the iteration ends.

[0104] Theoretically speaking, for multi-objective optimization problems, to improve optimization accuracy, the concept of "per-unit value" is often referenced to normalize each sub-objective function. That is, when the specific expression of the multi-objective function is:

[0105] minF = (f1, f2, ..., f n (1)

[0106] In the formula, F represents the comprehensive objective function, f1, f2, ..., f n Let each represent a sub-objective function. After normalizing them using the method described above, we have:

[0107]

[0108] In the formula, w n Represents the weights of each sub-objective function; This represents the independent optimal solution for each sub-objective function.

[0109] Accordingly, the objective function of the outer optimization model in the converter station capacity optimization configuration method based on the flexible DC interconnection system, with the goal of minimizing investment cost, is:

[0110] minF=I year (3)

[0111] In the formula, I year The system's equivalent annual investment operating cost mainly includes replacement costs. change Annual operation and maintenance costs I OM Annual investment costs for systems, etc. initial Composition, then I year The expression is:

[0112] I year =I initial +I OM +I change (4)

[0113] In the formula, I change Indicates replacement cost; I OM Indicates annual operating and maintenance costs; I initial This represents the annualized investment cost.

[0114] Wherein, the replacement cost I change The expression is:

[0115]

[0116] The annual operation and maintenance cost I OM The expression is:

[0117]

[0118] The equivalent annual value investment cost I initial The expression is:

[0119]

[0120] In the formula, r0 represents the discount rate; L represents the project duration; These represent the unit prices of photovoltaic, energy storage, and converter devices, respectively. These represent the annual operating and maintenance costs per unit of the photovoltaic, energy storage, and converter devices, respectively; N pv N bat N load These represent the installed capacity of photovoltaic, energy storage, and converter stations, respectively; I change_total This represents the total replacement cost over the specified number of years.

[0121] In one embodiment, when the converter station capacity optimization configuration method based on a flexible DC interconnection system aims to optimize system revenue and renewable energy utilization rate, the objective function of the inner optimization model is:

[0122]

[0123] In the formula, w er C represents the weighting coefficients of the system's revenue sub-objective function. total For the benefit of the system, The system yields the independent optimal solution; w REN η represents the weighting coefficients of the renewable energy utilization rate sub-objective function. REN For renewable energy utilization rate, This is the independent optimal solution for renewable energy utilization.

[0124] The system benefit sub-objective function is as follows:

[0125]

[0126] In the formula, C users (t) represents the revenue from selling electricity to users, C adj (t) represents the cost of flexible load dispatching, C grid (t) represents the cost of purchasing electricity from the grid, P imb The difference between photovoltaic power generation and load power represents the current unbalanced power level of the system.

[0127] Specifically, in the system revenue sub-objective function, the revenue C from selling electricity to users is... users Primarily determined by the current electricity price and the amount of electricity sold, the user's revenue from selling electricity, C, is... users The expression is:

[0128] C users (t)=P users α users (t) (10)

[0129] In the formula, P users α represents the current electricity sold to users. users (t) represents the current electricity price.

[0130] In the system revenue sub-objective function, flexible loads participate in grid dispatch. When there is power redundancy in the system, a certain dispatch fee is paid to flexible load users to guide them to engage loads and absorb the redundant power. Similarly, when there is power deficit in the system, a certain compensation fee is paid to users to guide them to actively disconnect loads and reduce the power deficit in the system. Therefore, the flexible load dispatch cost mainly consists of the cost of guiding load engagement and the cost of guiding load disconnection. The flexible load dispatch cost C... adj The expression is:

[0131]

[0132] in,

[0133]

[0134] In the formula, C on (t) represents the cost of guiding flexible load input, C off (t) represents the cost of guiding flexible load shedding, ΔP imb,adj (t) represents the actual flexible load scheduling capacity of the system at the current moment. This represents the coefficient of determination of the flexible load that can be incentivized to be applied at the current moment in the system. β1, β2, γ1, and γ2 represent the flexible load excitation cutoff determination coefficients at the current moment of the system, and represent the flexible load participation depth, which is determined by the flexible load dispatchable ratio.

[0135] In the system revenue sub-objective function, when neither energy storage nor flexible loads can meet the system's power balance requirements, the expression for the cost / revenue of purchasing / selling electricity to the grid to meet the system's power balance through power exchange with the grid is as follows:

[0136]

[0137] In the formula, This represents the electricity sold between the system and the main power grid at time t; α represents the power purchased between the system and the main power grid at time t; sell (t) represents the electricity price at time t; α buy (t) represents the electricity price at time t.

[0138] Furthermore, the objective function for the utilization rate of renewable energy is:

[0139]

[0140] In the formula, P pv (t) represents the photovoltaic power generation at the current moment. Let T represent the power sold to the grid at the current moment, T represent the total optimization time length (24 hours in this paper), and t represent the current time.

[0141] In one embodiment, the converter station capacity optimization configuration method based on flexible DC interconnection system provided by the present invention includes constraints such as power balance constraints, energy storage charging and discharging constraints, installed capacity constraints, converter power constraints, and capacity-to-load ratio constraints.

[0142] Among them, the power balance constraint refers to the power balance condition that the system must meet during normal operation. The expression of the power balance constraint is:

[0143] P grid +P bat +P pv =P load +P loss (14)

[0144] In the formula, P grid P represents the power exchanged between the system and the power grid. bat P represents energy storage capacity. pv P represents photovoltaic power. load P represents the power consumed by the load. loss This indicates the power loss of the converter.

[0145] The magnitude of the charge / discharge power and the depth of charge / discharge have a decisive impact on the lifespan of energy storage batteries. Therefore, to extend the lifespan of energy storage batteries and reduce the later maintenance and replacement costs of the system, it is necessary to constrain the depth of charge / discharge and the charge / discharge power of the energy storage batteries. The expression for the energy storage charge / discharge constraint is:

[0146]

[0147] In the formula, SOC(t) represents the remaining charge of the energy storage battery at time t; SOC max This represents the maximum SOC (State of Charge) of the energy storage battery; SOC min P represents the minimum SOC (State of Charge) of the energy storage battery. bat,c (t) represents the charging power at time t; Indicates the maximum charging power; Indicates the minimum charging power; P bat,d (t) represents the discharge power at time t; Indicates the maximum discharge power; This indicates the minimum discharge power.

[0148] Due to limitations in construction costs and production processes, the capacity of converter stations is subject to certain restrictions during design. To ensure model accuracy, it is also necessary to set installed capacity constraints, the expression of which is as follows:

[0149] N min,load ≤N load ≤N max,load (16)

[0150] In the formula, N min,load N represents the lower limit of the installed capacity of the converter station. max,load N represents the upper limit of the installed capacity of the converter station. load Install capacity for the converter station.

[0151] In practical applications, power transfer between distribution substations requires certain constraints to ensure that the maximum allowable transfer power of the converter station is not exceeded. Therefore, a converter power constraint is also necessary. The expression for the converter power constraint is:

[0152] P trans ≤P max,trans (17)

[0153] In the formula, P trans For the power transfer between converter stations in the distribution area, P max,trans This represents the maximum power transfer value between converter stations.

[0154] To ensure the rationality and economy of the system design, the capacity ratio of the converter station needs to be constrained. The expression for the capacity ratio constraint is as follows:

[0155] λ min,load ≤λ load ≤λ max,load (18)

[0156] In the formula, λ load λ represents the capacity ratio of the converter station. min,load λ represents the minimum capacity ratio limit of the converter station. max,load This indicates the maximum capacity limit of the converter station.

[0157] The following uses a specific application scenario as an example to briefly describe the process of the converter station capacity optimization configuration method based on the flexible DC interconnection system provided by this invention.

[0158] like Figure 2 As shown, the converter station capacity optimization configuration method includes the following steps:

[0159] Step (1): Starting from the outer layer, input the basic data required for optimization, such as light intensity, temperature, population size, etc.;

[0160] Step (2): Set the population size M for the outer capacity optimization configuration, and randomly generate M particles using a random function to form the initial population X = {X}. i}(i = 1, 2, ..., M), where each particle represents a possible solution, represented as a 3D vector, expressed as:

[0161]

[0162] In the formula, These represent the capacities of converter stations 1, 2, and 3 under the i-th particle scheme, respectively.

[0163] Step (3): Set the population size N of the inner optimization scheduling model, and use a random function to randomly generate N particles to form the initial population Y = {Y}. j}(i = 1, 2, ..., N), where each particle represents a possible solution, represented as a 2D vector, expressed as:

[0164]

[0165] In the formula, Let each represent the load excitation input coefficient under the j-th particle scheme. Excitation cut-out coefficient

[0166] Step (4): Assume an individual mechanism. For the particle i with the best fitness value in the outer model, set it as the individual extreme value pBest. For the population extreme value, search for the particle with the best fitness value among multiple individual extreme values ​​and set it as the outer population extreme value gBest. Similarly, for the inner model, set the particle j with the best fitness value as the individual extreme value ypBest, and search for the optimal ypBest among multiple individual extreme values ​​and set it as the inner population extreme value ygBest.

[0167] Step (5): Under the constraints of battery charging and discharging power, charging and discharging depth, converter station capacity, etc., the position and velocity of particle i in the outer population are randomly initialized using a random function;

[0168] Step (6): Calculate the position X of outer particle i based on the mathematical models of the energy storage battery and photovoltaic cell. i The energy storage rechargeable (discharge) power and photovoltaic output power are calculated. The position X of outer particle i is also calculated. i The scheduling resources under the grid are the power that needs to be allocated to the grid and flexible loads for scheduling.

[0169] Step (7): Set the position X of particle i i The scheduling resources are brought into the inner model.
