Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated energy planning systems, and more particularly to a planning method for an integrated energy distribution network system combining electricity and natural gas. Background Technology
[0002] To alleviate climate change and energy shortages, renewable energy generation has increased significantly in active distribution networks (ADNs) in recent years. Power-to-gas (P2G) is a technology that converts excess renewable energy into hydrogen and methane, considered an effective way to achieve high renewable energy penetration. Through P2G facilities, ADN and gas distribution networks (GDNs) are converted into an integrated system, namely the Integrated Electricity and Gas Distribution Network (IEGDS). Optimal planning of IEGDS has become an important topic in recent years, aiming to find the best strategy for planning IEGDS construction while meeting technical and economic constraints. Many experts and scholars have proposed efficient energy conversion technologies, energy storage technologies, and new business models to help achieve optimal IEGDS planning. However, in most existing studies, only one gas, such as hydrogen or methane, is injected into the GDN and mixed with natural gas. Theoretical analysis shows that natural gas mixed with hydrogen and methane, i.e., hydrogen-mixed natural gas (HCNG), is compatible with existing gas distribution network facilities and can improve economic efficiency. HCNG can serve as a substitute for natural gas, offering better environmental benefits. Since 2007, numerous IEGDS pilot projects operating under HCNG (High-Hydrogen Gas Generation) models have been conducted in Europe, such as the Loran Hydrogen Community (2007, Denmark), H2BER (2015, Germany), and GRHYD (2017, France). Therefore, injecting only one gas in future IEGDS projects is impractical and may lead to suboptimal planning results. Furthermore, existing IEGDS planning studies often use overly simplified HCNG models, such as neglecting gas safety constraints and treating methane and natural gas as a single gas.
[0003] To effectively integrate HCNGs into existing integrated energy systems, most current research focuses on the transmission network level, with only limited studies on the distribution network level. However, some of these studies neglect methane injection, while others employ difficult-to-solve nonlinear programming models. Another challenge is mitigating voltage deviations caused by the high proportion of renewable energy sources in IEGDS. Due to the coupling relationship between electricity and natural gas systems, the capacity of P2G facilities to absorb renewable energy is limited. Recently, the concept of flexible soft switching (SOP) has provided an effective solution for enhancing power flow control and reactive power compensation. Many studies have shown the potential value of SOP in improving ADN operating performance, particularly in voltage and reactive power control through voltage distribution optimization. However, most of these studies focus on power systems, neglecting the application value of SOP in IEGDS. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an IEGDS planning method that considers methane injection and to investigate the application value of SOP within it. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention discloses a planning method for an integrated energy distribution network system combining electricity and natural gas, aiming to solve the technical problem that the application value of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in IEGDS has been neglected in research.

[0192] Step 6: Solve using an iterative algorithm based on reconstruction decomposition;
[0193] Step 7: Output planning and operation results. The specific method for Step 7 is as follows: To verify the effectiveness of flexible soft switching and methane injection in improving economic and technical performance, Figure 22 Four different scenarios were designed, in which the energy load ratio was set to 0.5. Figure 23 The planning results for the upper-level problem are provided under four scenarios. It can be seen that scenario 1 has the highest annual I&O cost, while scenario 4 has the lowest. In scenario 4, the costs of electricity and natural gas procurement are significantly reduced, achieving the maximum installed capacity of the wind turbine. Figure 24 The planning results for the lower-level problem are shown. Comparing Case 1 and Case 2, or Case 2 and Case 4, it can be found that SOP can significantly reduce line loss and voltage deviation in IEGD. Furthermore, it can be seen that Case 4 has the highest wind power penetration rate among the four cases, achieving a proper balance between high wind power penetration rate and operational performance. Figure 10 This shows the power absorption capacity of the P2G facility and the power provided by the system under four different scenarios, from... Figure 10 As can be seen from this, P2G facilities are only... In relatively large-scale scenarios, the system is more likely to violate safety constraints in areas with high wind power generation. Therefore, P2G facilities will convert excess wind power into hydrogen or methane. In scenario 4, the power consumption of P2G facilities accounts for the highest proportion of the total load, especially in scenario 11. At its highest level, in scenario 4, the P2G facility consumed 49.27% of the total power supply. In contrast, this decreased to 8.70%, 13.26%, and 29.34% in scenarios 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Figure 11 The voltage distribution under two extreme conditions is shown, from Figure 11 It can be seen that the minimum voltage is highest in case 4. Figure 8 In the case of 3, the voltage distribution is similar to that in 4. Although the installed capacity of WT increases significantly in 4, the maximum voltage deviation in 4 is only about 0.002 pu higher than that in 3. This is acceptable for voltage deviation under ultra-high wind power penetration.
