Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system load forecasting and planning technology, specifically a power grid load forecasting method that takes into account various electric vehicle charging methods under extreme high-temperature weather conditions. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing environmental pollution and energy shortages, electric vehicles (EVs), with their unparalleled advantages in energy conservation and emission reduction compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, are poised to replace gasoline-powered cars in the future. To address resource and environmental issues, the Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of EVs and has introduced numerous policies to support and promote the industry. As EVs become more widespread, large-scale integration into the power grid will have a significant impact on the operation and planning of the power system.

[0003] The large-scale integration of electric vehicles into the power grid will impact the operation of the existing distribution network. Therefore, understanding the charging load characteristics of various types of electric vehicles, especially their charging load characteristics under extreme high-temperature weather, can enable them to play a positive and crucial role in peak shaving, valley filling, and renewable energy absorption within the distribution network system.

[0004] Most current methods for predicting electric vehicle load do not differentiate between the charging load characteristics of different types of electric vehicles, and do not fully consider the impact of different types of electric vehicle charging characteristics on the charging load under extreme high-temperature weather. This makes it impossible to accurately predict the charging load of electric vehicles under extreme high temperatures, which is not conducive to the economic operation and energy management of electric vehicle charging stations, the development of interaction strategies between electric vehicles and the power grid, and the achievement of stable operation of power grid peak regulation and frequency regulation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, in order to accurately predict the load of a large number of electric vehicles connected to the grid, this invention provides a grid load prediction method that considers the charging methods of various types of electric vehicles under extreme high temperature weather. The method divides electric vehicles into four categories, considers the market time-of-use pricing policy and the increase in air conditioning load of electric vehicles under extreme high temperature weather, and uses a combination of similar day method and neural network method to predict the charging load of each type of electric vehicle under extreme weather.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0008] Step 1: Collect information on the charging characteristics of electric vehicles and the travel information of vehicle owners under extreme high temperature weather, and classify them according to the charging characteristics and travel information of electric vehicles;

[0009] Step 2: Use Monte Carlo sampling to simulate the travel patterns of electric vehicles under extreme weather conditions;

[0010] Step 3: Based on the travel patterns of electric vehicles obtained in Step 2, and considering the market time-of-use electricity pricing policy and the increase in air conditioning load of electric vehicles under extreme high temperature weather, simulate the charging behavior of each type of electric vehicle under extreme high temperature weather.

[0011] Step 4: Based on the electric vehicle charging behavior simulation results from Step 3, a method combining similar day method and neural network is used to predict the charging load of various types of electric vehicles under extreme high temperature weather, and the total load of each type of electric vehicle connected to the power grid is obtained by superimposing the results.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that, in step 1, electric vehicles are divided into four categories: electric private cars, electric buses, electric taxis, and electric official vehicles; and travel information of owners of each type of vehicle is collected, specifically including: the departure time and departure location of the vehicle, the driving route of the vehicle, and the arrival time and arrival location of the vehicle.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that the Monte Carlo sampling method is performed as follows:

[0014] Based on travel time, travel location, and travel route, construct an n*n location matrix L for electric private cars, electric buses, electric taxis, and electric official vehicles:

[0015]

[0016] This represents the position in the φ-th row of the position matrix. The location of the column. When At that time, the elements in the position matrix L Indicates the starting point of the electric vehicle. When At that time, the elements in the position matrix L This indicates the destination of the electric vehicle.

[0017] The probability matrix P of an electric vehicle appearing at a certain location is:

[0018]

[0019] Elements in probability matrix P Indicates the location where the electric vehicle is located. The probability of finding the destination. Let distance matrix D represent the distance between the starting point and the destination. Distance matrix D is:

[0020]

[0021] d elements in distance matrix D δγ This represents the distance between the departure point and the destination point. δ represents the departure point, and γ represents the destination point.

[0022] Based on the required accuracy, the number of simulations, N, is determined. New random numbers are generated using the probability matrix P, and these generated random numbers are then substituted into the established probability matrix P. Each type of electric vehicle is simulated N times, generating N sample values ​​for each. Statistical analysis is performed on the sample values ​​to obtain the travel patterns of each type of electric vehicle.

[0023] A further improvement of the present invention is that, in step 3, the formula for calculating the charging time of each type of electric vehicle under extreme high-temperature weather is as follows:

[0024]

[0025] In the formula, T ev D represents the daily mileage of various types of electric vehicles. ev Let α represent the electricity consumption per kilometer for each type of electric vehicle, α represent the charging efficiency of each charging station, and P represent the total electricity consumption per kilometer. ev Charging efficiency for various types of electric vehicles;

[0026] Among them, the daily driving mileage T of various types of electric vehicles ev The calculation formula is:

[0027]

[0029] A further improvement of this invention lies in considering that under the market-based time-of-use electricity pricing policy, the charging behavior of owners of various types of electric vehicles will change. Taxi and bus companies, for economic reasons, will adopt a battery swapping model for charging electric vehicles. The swapped-out batteries will be recharged uniformly during periods of low electricity prices. The charging start time of electric vehicles using the battery swapping model follows a uniform distribution, with the following probability density function:

[0030]

[0031] In the formula, b is the time when the off-peak electricity price ends, and a is the time when the off-peak electricity price begins.

[0032] The start-up charging time of electric vehicles charging in non-battery-swapping mode all follow a normal distribution, and their probability density function is:

[0033]

[0034] In the formula, μ represents the mean of the initial charging time following a normal distribution, and the standard deviation σ determines the amplitude of the distribution.

[0035] A further improvement of the present invention is that the specific operation of step 4 is as follows:

[0036] Step 4.1: Acquire a large amount of historical charging station data, including the start time of electric vehicle charging, the remaining battery power of the electric vehicle at the start of charging, and the duration of a single charging session. Quantify the similarity using a similarity evaluation function, and select historical charging station data for each type of electric vehicle that meets the similarity standard (i.e., has the smallest Euclidean distance to the predicted date) as the data for similar days.

[0037] Step 4.2: Determine the number of hidden layer nodes in the neural network, and use the selected historical data of similar days as samples to input the network for training;

[0038] Step 4.3: Obtain the charging load of each type of electric vehicle under extreme high temperature on the predicted day. Add up the charging load of each type of electric vehicle to obtain the total load of each type of electric vehicle connected to the power grid.

[0039] P alli =P allsi +P allbi +P allti +P alloi i = 1, 2, 3...T

[0040] In the formula, P alli P represents the total load of all electric vehicles at time i; allsi P represents the total load of the electric private car at time i; allbi The total load of the electric bus at time i; P allti P represents the total load of the electric taxis at time i; alloi Let be the total load of the electric official vehicle at time i; divide the day into T time periods.

[0043] A further improvement of the present invention is that the specific steps for calculating similar days are as follows: Let the meteorological feature vector of each day be...

[0044]

[0045] In the formula, T gmax , T gmin The maximum, average, and minimum temperatures for day g;

[0046] Y g Y is the meteorological feature vector for the predicted day. j For historical days with the same day type and season type, their meteorological feature vector is:

[0047]

[0048] Using Euclidean distance d gj To describe the overall difference in meteorological factors over the past two days, the Euclidean distance d gj The expression is:

[0049]

[0050] In the formula, k is the index of the feature vector, and m is the number of feature vectors. The historical day with the highest similarity (smallest Euclidean distance) to the predicted day is calculated using the above formula. The historical day with the highest similarity is used as the similar day to the predicted day.

[0051] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a power grid load forecasting method considering various types of electric vehicle charging methods under extreme high-temperature weather. Electric vehicles are subdivided into four categories for load forecasting. Monte Carlo sampling is used to obtain the travel patterns of different types of electric vehicles under extreme high-temperature weather. Based on this, the charging behavior of each type of electric vehicle under extreme high-temperature weather is simulated by comprehensively considering four factors: charging efficiency, charging time, market electricity price, and remaining power state (SOC). A combination of the similarity day method and neural network method is used to predict the load of electric vehicles under extreme high-temperature weather. This method predicts the charging load of electric vehicles more accurately than traditional methods, which is beneficial not only to the economic operation and energy management of electric vehicle charging stations and the formulation of interaction strategies between electric vehicles and the power grid, but also to helping the power grid achieve stable operation through peak shaving and frequency regulation.
