Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system optimization configuration, specifically a method for planning and configuring mobile energy storage in active distribution networks. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of distributed generation technology, various distributed resources, such as distributed photovoltaic and wind power, are increasingly being connected to the power grid, bringing more complex challenges to the operation of the distribution network. Due to their inherent characteristics, distributed resources exhibit significant output uncertainty, which may lead to risks such as power fluctuations and voltage exceeding limits in the distribution network, affecting the safe and stable operation of the grid. Energy storage devices can transfer energy over time, solving the problem of intermittent output from distributed new energy sources. However, most energy storage systems in my country are currently stationary, only covering areas near the connection point. Cost constraints also limit the deployment of multiple stationary energy storage stations, thus posing significant limitations to stationary energy storage.
[0003] Mobile energy storage, as an emerging means of distribution network regulation, can regulate power and energy in time and space, overcoming the limitations of fixed energy storage's limited coverage. Furthermore, it improves the utilization rate of distributed power sources while also improving power flow distribution, reducing network losses and the risk of power exceeding limits, demonstrating significant development potential and application prospects. However, despite the rapid development of energy storage technology, the cost of mobile energy storage remains high. In active distribution networks containing renewable energy, inappropriate mobile energy storage configuration not only affects the operation strategy of the active distribution network and the absorption of renewable energy but also incurs substantial costs. Therefore, this paper proposes a planning and configuration method for mobile energy storage in active distribution networks, which is beneficial for maximizing the economic benefits of mobile energy storage, absorbing renewable energy, and improving the safe, economical, and stable operation of the distribution network. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a planning and configuration method for mobile energy storage in active distribution networks. This method optimizes the configuration of mobile energy storage connected to active distribution networks. By rationally configuring mobile energy storage in the distribution network, it improves the power fluctuation and wind / solar curtailment problems that occur after the distribution network is connected to distributed power sources. Furthermore, it maximizes the return on investment in mobile energy storage while ensuring the safe operation of the distribution network, thereby improving the economic efficiency of distribution network operation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0019] Add a constraint that the mobile energy storage has the same charge at the beginning and end of the day, described by the following formula:
[0020]
[0021] Furthermore, establishing a mobile energy storage displacement model specifically includes:
[0022] Establish a three-dimensional mobile energy storage node access matrix, using 0 and 1 variables to represent whether a certain mobile energy storage is connected to a certain candidate node at a certain moment. When the matrix element value is 1, it indicates connection, and when it is 0, it indicates non-connection.
[0023] Establish energy storage access constraints to limit a single mobile energy storage device to only one candidate node at a time.
[0024] Furthermore, a three-dimensional mobile energy storage node access matrix is established, as shown in the following equation:
[0025] x = [x m,j,t ] s×n×T
[0026] In the formula: x m,j,t When 1 represents the energy storage m being connected to the distribution network node j at time t, j represents the candidate access node;
[0027] Establish energy storage access constraints, as shown in the following formula:
[0028]
[0029] Where: Ω j This is the set of candidate access nodes.
[0030] Furthermore, the annual revenue of mobile energy storage includes the average annual investment cost and annual operating cost of mobile energy storage, wind and solar curtailment costs, grid loss costs, and energy storage peak-valley arbitrage revenue. The average annual investment cost of mobile energy storage includes battery capacity costs and power converter power costs.
[0031] Furthermore, the average annual investment cost, annual operating cost, wind and solar curtailment cost, grid loss cost, and energy storage peak-valley arbitrage revenue are shown in the following formula:
[0032]
[0033] In the formula: f1 represents the average annual cost of mobile energy storage, including investment cost and operating cost; C e C p These are the unit capacity cost of batteries and the unit power cost of power converters; C m This represents the annual operating cost per unit charge / discharge power of the battery, where r is the annual interest rate, Y is the investment period for mobile energy storage, and f2 is the cost of wind and solar power curtailment. Predict the output power of distributed generation. c represents the actual output power of the distributed power source. g For the cost of distributed power generation, Ω DG For distributed power source access nodes, f3 is the network loss cost, Ω L For the set of distribution network branches, c tf4 represents the electricity price during time period t, and f4 represents the peak-valley arbitrage profit from energy storage.
[0034] Furthermore, a. The output constraint of the distributed power source is shown in the following formula:
[0035]
[0036] b. The power constraint for mobile energy storage access is shown in the following formula:
[0037]
[0038] In the formula: Let represent the energy storage power connected to node j during time period t.
[0039] c. The power flow constraints of the distribution network are shown in the following formula:
[0040]
[0041] In the formula: P ij,t Q ij,t I ij,t r ij x ij These are the active power, reactive power, current, resistance, and reactance of branch ij, respectively. i,t For node voltage, These represent the injected active and reactive power at node j, φ. j ψ j Let these represent the sets of parent and child nodes of node j, respectively.

[0045] Furthermore, the transformation of the active distribution network mobile energy storage planning model into a mixed-integer second-order cone model based on the second-order cone transformation and the Big M method specifically includes:
[0046] The power flow constraints in the established active distribution network mobile energy storage planning model are nonlinear terms, defined by the following variables:
[0047]
[0048] The power flow constraints of the distribution network are transformed into a solvable second-order cone model using a second-order cone transformation, as shown in the following equation:
[0049]
[0050] The mobile energy storage access power constraint in the established active distribution network mobile energy storage planning model is a bilinear term. Considering the introduction of auxiliary variables and the use of the Big M method, it is transformed into a linear constraint form, as shown in the following equation:
[0051]
[0052] In the formula: M is a relatively large positive integer.
[0053] The objective function of the active distribution network mobile energy storage planning model established in this invention considers the cost of wind and solar curtailment. Therefore, when the output of new energy sources such as wind and solar power exceeds the load demand, mobile energy storage will be preferentially connected to wind and solar power generation nodes to store the excess output and reduce curtailment. When the grid load is heavy, the large power flowing through the lines leads to large network losses. Since the objective function of the active distribution network mobile energy storage planning model considers network loss costs, mobile energy storage will be preferentially connected to load nodes at the end of the grid to supply power to the load, thereby reducing network losses caused by line transmission. Furthermore, since the objective function of the active distribution network mobile energy storage planning model considers peak-valley arbitrage benefits, when the grid power can balance with the output of new energy sources, mobile energy storage will charge during periods of low electricity prices and discharge during periods of high electricity prices to obtain peak-valley arbitrage benefits. This invention utilizes the time- and temperature-controlled energy management capabilities of mobile energy storage, which can significantly improve the economic efficiency of distribution network operation and the level of new energy consumption.
