Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microgrid optimization technology, specifically to a virtualized grid partitioning method for improving multi-element synergy between power generation, grid, load, and storage. Background Technology

[0002] Replacing traditional fossil fuel power generation with new energy sources to address the energy crisis and environmental pollution has become a primary objective of the power industry. Recently, distributed renewable energy generation has developed rapidly, and the increasing penetration of clean energy distributed power sources such as wind and solar power in distribution networks is an inevitable trend. The randomness and volatility of distributed power sources, along with the increasingly complex and flexible controllable resources of distribution networks, make active distribution network operation and control extremely complex. To reduce the control dimensions and difficulty of active distribution network operation and control, the distribution network, which contains a large number of distributed power sources, flexible loads, energy storage, and other flexible and controllable resources, is divided into virtual grids. This forms a control pattern of local control within the grid and coordinated interactive control between grids, thus transforming a complex and high-dimensional distribution network operation and control problem into the operation and control problem of multiple relatively simple and low-dimensional grid-partitioned small systems. Simultaneously, this can promote the local consumption of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, improve the utilization rate of wind and solar power, and allow the grid to operate off-grid in the event of a distribution network failure while ensuring necessary power quality. This grid-based autonomous and inter-grid coordinated distribution network control strategy has become an important topic.

[0003] Traditional power distribution network zoning typically only considers active power, using electrical distances constructed based on active power sensitivity as the basis for zoning. For example, Chinese invention patent application CN115099480A discloses a planning method for dividing power supply grids based on electrical topology relationships. This method involves predicting saturated annual load, substation placement, and 10kV feeder outgoing line planning; planning the target power distribution network structure and determining electrical topology relationships; performing grid division and verification until the verification passes. Chinese invention patent application CN113222472A discloses a power distribution network grid optimization zoning method and system based on a load clustering algorithm. This method clusters load points according to their spatial location, selects the substation closest to the load center point as the primary power supply station for each load point, selects the primary power supply station corresponding to the load center point closest to the load center point as the backup power supply station for each load point, and divides the load points into grid zones based on the correspondence between load points, primary power supply stations, and backup power supply stations.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider distributed generation nodes, energy storage nodes, and load demand response nodes in the distribution network, taking into account the overall cost of virtual grid partitioning, and balancing virtual grid power supply rate, power interaction between virtual grids, and virtual grid node control dimensions. A virtual grid partitioning objective function model should be established, and a virtual grid partitioning strategy should be proposed. This provides a foundation for grid partitioning to promote local consumption of distributed generation, improve the renewable energy consumption rate, and achieve local autonomy and collaborative interaction control strategies between virtual grids in the distribution network. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to provide a distribution network virtual grid partitioning method that comprehensively takes into account distributed power generation absorption, load demand response, energy storage support, and multi-level network topology coordination.

[0010] Based on the current virtual mesh partitioning parameters, the pre-constructed mesh partitioning optimization model is solved to calculate the fitness value of the mesh partitioning objective function and the mesh partitioning result. The objective function in the mesh partitioning optimization model considers the virtual mesh communication cost, virtual mesh power supply rate, power interaction between virtual meshes, and virtual mesh node control dimension.

[0011] When the fitness value of the objective function corresponding to the current virtual mesh partition is determined to be less than the fitness value of the objective function corresponding to the previous virtual mesh partition, the result of the current virtual mesh partition is saved.

[0012] This invention employs a generalized node search algorithm to traverse the node information of virtual grid partitions, obtaining the partitioning parameters of the virtual grid partitions. A grid partitioning optimization model is then used to solve for these parameters. The objective function of this model integrates virtual grid communication costs, virtual grid power supply rate, power interaction between virtual grids, and virtual grid node control dimensions to find the optimal partitioning method from various virtual grid partitioning scenarios. This provides a grid partitioning foundation for control strategies that promote local consumption of distributed power sources, improve the renewable energy consumption rate, and achieve local autonomy and collaborative interaction between virtual grids in the distribution network. It helps enhance the complementary and coordinated power generation of the source-grid-load-storage system within the region, promotes the local consumption capacity of renewable energy, and improves source-load matching, virtual grid power supply rate, and economic efficiency.

[0087] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0088] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a virtualized grid partitioning method to improve multi-source coordination of source, grid, load, and storage. The method includes the following steps:

[0089] S10. Initialize the virtual grid partitions of the power grid network topology, and form corresponding grid adjacency matrices for different virtual grid partitions;

[0090] S20. Use a generalized node search algorithm to traverse the node information of the virtual grid partition and obtain the partitioning parameters of the virtual grid partition;

[0091] S30. Based on the partitioning parameters of the current virtual mesh partition, solve the pre-constructed mesh partitioning optimization model, calculate the fitness value of the mesh partitioning objective function and the mesh partitioning result, wherein the objective function in the mesh partitioning optimization model considers the virtual mesh communication cost, virtual mesh power supply rate, power interaction between virtual meshes and virtual mesh node control dimension;

[0092] S40. When it is determined that the fitness value of the objective function corresponding to the current virtual mesh partition is less than the fitness value of the objective function corresponding to the previous virtual mesh partition, save the current virtual mesh partition result.

[0093] This embodiment employs a generalized node search algorithm to traverse the node information of virtual grid partitions, obtaining the partitioning parameters of the virtual grid partitions. A grid partitioning optimization model is then used to solve for these parameters. The objective function of this model integrates virtual grid communication costs, virtual grid power supply rate, power interaction between virtual grids, and virtual grid node control dimensions to find the optimal partitioning method from various virtual grid partitioning scenarios. This provides a grid partitioning foundation for control strategies that promote local consumption of distributed power sources, improve the renewable energy consumption rate, and achieve local autonomy and collaborative interaction between virtual grids in the distribution network. It helps enhance the complementary and coordinated power generation of the source-grid-load-storage system within the region, promotes the local consumption capacity of renewable energy, and improves source-load matching, virtual grid power supply rate, and economic efficiency.

[0094] In one embodiment, step S10: initializing the virtual grid partitioning of the power grid network topology, and forming a corresponding grid adjacency matrix for different virtual grid partitions, includes the following steps:

[0095] S11. Based on the branch node information in the power grid network topology, record the network connection status. For node i, we have:

[0096]

[0097] In the formula: E is the set of all nodes in the power grid network topology, M and N are the sets of adjacent nodes and non-adjacent nodes of node i, respectively. If nodes ij have a topological connection, then A ij =1, otherwise, A ik =0;

[0098] S12. The power grid network topology is divided into branches l using a virtual mesh, where i and j are the head and tail nodes of branch l. Then A ij =0, record Q represents the total set of branches segmented by the virtual grid partition;

[0099] S13. For different grid partition scenarios of the power grid network topology, form corresponding grid adjacency matrices.

[0100] It should be noted that, as Figure 9 As shown, the virtual grid architecture is related to the virtual grid's interconnection lines. In the power grid, the adjacency matrix can be used to describe the relationship between branches and nodes. In order to reflect the influence of the virtual grid interconnection lines on the virtual grid partitioning, the virtual grid interconnection lines are set as decision variables, and the adjacency matrix is ​​continuously adjusted to obtain the final virtual grid.

[0101] In one embodiment, step S20: using a generalized node search algorithm to traverse the node information of the virtual grid partition and obtain the partitioning parameters of the virtual grid partition, includes the following steps:

[0102] S21. Obtain the set of connection lines between virtual grids in the virtual grid partition. l= { l pq , p,q∈H}, where H is the set of grid partitions;

[0103] S22. Use a generalized node search algorithm to traverse the node information of the virtual mesh partition and obtain the virtual mesh partitioning parameters {P}. i Q i ,P DGi Q DGi V i ,node q ,m pq ,P lpq Q lpq ,P BESSi ,P DRi}, where node q m pq These represent the communication decision node number of the virtual mesh q and the communication distance between virtual meshes p and q, respectively. i Q i These represent the active power and reactive power of node i, respectively; P DGi Q DGi These represent the active and reactive power of the distributed power source at node i, respectively; P BESSi P DRi V represents the energy storage battery at node i and the active power of the load demand response, respectively. i P is the voltage at node i; lpq Q lpq These represent the active and reactive power of the tie lines between virtual grids p and q, respectively.

[0104] It should be noted that this embodiment relies on the adjacency matrix, a decision variable representing the network topology, and combines the generalized first search algorithm to traverse the grid partitioning optimization information, continuously updating the network adjacency matrix, and optimizing the solution according to the above-mentioned objective function and constraints, finally obtaining the virtualized grid partitioning optimization result.

[0105] In one embodiment, in step S30, the objective function in the mesh partitioning optimization model is expressed as:

[0106] min O=K1O1+K2O2+K3O3+K4O4

[0107] In the formula: K1 is the weighting coefficient of the virtual grid partitioning cost index, K2 is the weighting coefficient of the virtual grid power supply rate index, K3 is the weighting coefficient of the power interaction index between virtual grids, K4 is the weighting coefficient of the control dimension index, O1 is the objective function of the economic cost of virtual grid partitioning, O2 is the objective function of the virtual grid self-regulation index, O3 is the objective function of the power interaction between distribution network virtual grids, and O4 is the objective function of the control dimension of distribution network virtual grid;

[0108] The constraints of the objective function include virtual grid power supply reliability constraints, power grid power flow constraints, and distribution network virtual grid operation safety and stability constraints.

[0109] It should be noted that, as Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment comprehensively considers the communication cost of the virtual grid, takes into account the power supply rate of the virtual grid, the power interaction between virtual grids, and the control dimension of virtual grid nodes, establishes a grid partitioning optimization model, and proposes a virtual grid partitioning strategy, which can accurately partition the virtual grid of the distribution network.

[0110] In one embodiment, the objective function O1 for the economic cost of virtual mesh partitioning is expressed as follows:

[0111]

[0112] In the formula: P l Let n be the average unit price of the data transmission line. cl d represents the total number of virtual grids in the distribution network. y Let P be the length of the data transmission line in the virtual grid y of the distribution network. c C represents the average unit price of the virtual grid control unit in the distribution network. DR Cost of demand response to load interaction.

[0113] The objective function O2 of the virtual grid self-regulation index is expressed as follows:

[0114]

[0115] In the formula: p g g is the power supply rate parameter for the virtual grid of the distribution network. y Let g be the power supply rate of the virtual grid y of the distribution network. ref Design reference value for power supply rate of virtual grid of distribution network.

[0116] Traditional distribution network zoning typically only considers active power, using electrical distances constructed based on active power sensitivity as the basis for zoning. Reactive power has a significant impact on voltage fluctuations at nodes within the virtual distribution network grid. Distributed generation (DG) within the grid acts as a reactive power source, supporting voltage at load nodes. The strength of reactive power interaction supporting load node voltage is used as an optimization index for grid zoning. Simultaneously, a virtual distribution network control scheme is formulated based on the grid zoning results. This not only improves the local absorption capacity of DG and increases resource utilization but also stabilizes voltage fluctuations at grid load nodes. Based on this, the formula for the power interaction objective function O3 between the virtual distribution network grids is expressed as follows:

[0117]

[0118] In the formula: P Q P P These represent the reactive power and active power interaction coefficients, respectively; H is the set of virtual grid tie lines in the distribution network; P... lpq For the virtual grid branch of the distribution network l pq The meritorious trend, Q lpq For the virtual grid branch of the distribution network l pq The reactive power flow is defined as follows: T is a scheduling window, and Day is a scheduling cycle.

[0119] To achieve local control of the distribution network virtual grid, the multi-node, multi-control variable distribution network is divided into multiple virtual grid subsystems, realizing local grid autonomy. Based on this, the formula for the objective function O4 of the distribution network virtual grid control dimension is expressed as follows:

[0120] O4 = p w *max(n y y = 1, 2, ..., N y

[0121] In the formula: P w n represents the control dimension coefficient of the virtual grid for the distribution network. y The total number of control nodes in the virtual mesh y.

[0122] In one embodiment, the power supply rate of the virtual mesh is calculated using the following formula:

[0123]

[0124] In the formula: P i,t,DG Let P be the active power of node i in DG at time t. + i,t,E ,P - i,t,E Let P be the active power emitted and absorbed by the energy storage device at node i at time t. i,t,loadLet ΔP be the active power consumed by the rigid load node i at time t. i,t,DR n represents the change in load demand response adjustment. dg n represents the number of DGs in the virtual grid. + e n - e n represents the number of nodes in the virtual grid that generate and absorb power for energy storage devices. load n is the number of rigid load nodes in the virtual mesh. dr This represents the number of nodes in the virtual grid that handle the demand response load.

[0125] It should be noted that the power supply rate of the virtual grid in the distribution network reflects the load support role of the active power grid nodes within the grid and is one of the indicators for improving the local absorption rate of distributed generation (DG). When a fault occurs in the distribution network, the virtual grid operates as an island, ensuring the safe and stable operation of both the distribution network and the virtual grid. During steady-state operation of the distribution network, the support role of DG for node loads within the grid can promote the local absorption of wind and solar power, reduce wind and solar curtailment, and ensure the power supply quality of the grid. Therefore, the power supply rate of the grid needs to be fully considered when dividing the virtual grid.

[0126] In one embodiment, the constraints of the objective function include:

[0127] (1) Virtual grid power supply reliability constraints:

[0128] g y ≥g min

[0129] Where: g y For the power supply rate of the virtual mesh y, g min This sets the lower limit for the power supply rate of the virtual grid.

[0130] It should be noted that when a fault occurs in the distribution network, the distribution network relay protection device will activate, and the distribution network virtual grid will operate in isolation. In order to ensure the power supply quality of critical load nodes in the virtual grid, this embodiment constructs virtual grid power supply reliability constraints.

[0131] (2) By introducing second-order cone programming to relax voltage and current auxiliary variables, the power flow constraints of the optimized distribution network virtual mesh are obtained:

[0164] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the fitness value of the objective function corresponding to the current virtual mesh partition is determined to be greater than or equal to the fitness value of the objective function corresponding to the previous virtual mesh partition, the method further includes the following steps:

[0180] The integration of diverse and flexible resources in various virtual grids, such as Figure 4 As shown. From Figure 4 As can be seen, the modified IEEE 33-node distribution network is divided into 5 virtual grids according to the virtual grid partitioning method proposed in this paper. The grid integration results show that the 5 virtual grids effectively integrate distributed power sources, load demand response, and energy storage, demonstrating better source-load matching and creating a better environment for autonomous control within the distribution network grid and coordinated control between grids.

[0181] like Figure 4 As shown, the number of virtual grid control nodes represents the control dimension of the virtual grid. Before grid partitioning, the distribution network has 33 control nodes. Figure 4As shown, after virtual grid partitioning, the control node dimensions of the five virtual grids are 9, 3, 6, 7, and 8, respectively. Through virtual grid partitioning, local control is achieved based on the partitioning results, instead of the centralized control of the 33 nodes in the distribution network. This significantly reduces the order of data processing for the distribution network by the five low-dimensional local controllers, greatly improving calculation speed. Simultaneously, the five virtual grid local controllers interact collaboratively, achieving real-time comprehensive collaborative control of the distribution network while reducing control complexity. This is beneficial for promoting the absorption rate of distributed power sources (wind and solar) in the distribution network, as well as for power flow distribution control and power quality control.

[0182] Active interactions between grids, such as Figure 5 As shown, the power interaction between grids is relatively small compared to the total power demand of the distribution network, thus satisfying the active power support function of the grid's power sources for the grid load. The reactive power interaction between grids has a significant impact on the voltage stability of nodes within each grid. Figure 6 After grid division, the reactive power interaction between grids and the voltage fluctuation of typical central points are observed. After division, the voltage of nodes within each grid is stably distributed around the rated voltage. This satisfies the grid reactive power interaction index requirements and the voltage support effect of grid reactive power sources on nodes within the grid.

[0183] Power supply rate and control dimensions of each virtual grid, such as Figure 7 As shown, the power supply rates of each virtual mesh are 100%, 94.86%, 80.64%, 81.29%, and 91.75%, respectively. Figure 8 The power supply rates of the virtual grid without demand response nodes are 100%, 91.45%, 79.48%, 76.16%, and 74.46%, respectively. The power supply rates of the virtual grid are significantly lower than those of the distribution grid with demand response nodes. This indicates that through the regulation of demand response loads and the support of energy storage in the virtual grid, the power of the virtual grid can be kept balanced at all times, reducing the waste of distributed resources, improving the absorption of distributed power sources, and also giving the virtual grid a certain degree of anti-interference capability.

[0184] It should be noted that this embodiment, by considering the communication cost of the virtual grid, and taking into account the power supply rate of the virtual grid, the power interaction between virtual grids, and the control dimension of virtual grid nodes, establishes a virtual grid partitioning objective function model and proposes a virtual grid partitioning strategy. The communication cost and load demand response interaction cost of virtual grid partitioning are established; a virtual grid autonomy rate index is proposed, reflecting the load support role of active power grid nodes within the grid, and is one of the indicators for improving the local absorption rate of distributed generation (DG). With the goal of reducing the voltage fluctuation rate of nodes within the grid, the interaction of active and reactive power between virtual grids is considered; to achieve local control of the distribution network virtual grid, the multi-node, multi-control variable distribution network is divided into multiple virtual grid mini-systems to achieve local grid autonomy, and based on this, a control dimension objective function for the distribution network virtual grid is constructed. Finally, DG operation constraints, load DR constraints, network topology constraints, and power flow constraints are constructed to seek the optimal solution for the virtualized grid partitioning optimization model.
