Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power distribution system safety technology, and in particular to a method for assessing the dynamic process of power distribution system damage and recovery under extreme events. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology and the socio-economic landscape, people's reliance on electricity is gradually increasing. In the context of global energy transition and the proposal of dual-carbon goals, electricity is becoming increasingly important. Even brief power outages can have a significant impact on users. Therefore, industrial production and residential activities place higher demands on the continuity of power supply. The distribution system connects the power generation and transmission system with users, directly addressing their electricity needs. Due to its wide distribution and complex structure, most power outages are caused by component failures within the distribution system. While the application of circuit breakers, tie switches, and backup power supplies has enabled the distribution system to cope relatively well with occasional faults under normal operating conditions, extreme events such as typhoons, ice storms, and man-made attacks significantly increase the failure rate of various components. Simultaneous failures of multiple components can lead to widespread power outages. Dynamically assessing the damage process and subsequent recovery process of the distribution system under extreme events can provide theoretical references for governments, power grids, and users in adopting response strategies. Most existing assessment methods use power supply capacity curves or power supply load curves to describe the damage and recovery process of power distribution systems under extreme events, resulting in incomplete results and related indicators. Therefore, proposing a comprehensive and detailed method for assessing the dynamic process of power distribution system damage and recovery under extreme events is a worthy research topic. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where, under extreme event disturbances, the failure rate of various components increases significantly, leading to power outages for users, but there is a lack of dynamic assessment during the power outage and restoration process, resulting in the inability to effectively restore power supply. This invention provides a method for assessing the dynamic process of power distribution system damage and restoration under extreme events.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A method for assessing the dynamic process of power distribution system damage and recovery under extreme events includes the following steps:

[0006] S1, determine the relevant parameters of the power distribution system and information on extreme event disasters, specifically:

[0007] S101, Determine the network topology parameters of the power distribution system, including line information, user information and power supply information;

[0008] S102, determine the intensity and duration of the disturbance in the extreme event;

[0009] S103, determine the failure rate of power distribution system components and the repair rate of faulty components during the repair process based on the disturbance intensity of extreme events and component vulnerability curves;

[0010] S2 simulates the fault process of the power distribution system;

[0011] S3 simulates the power distribution system recovery process;

[0012] S4. Repeat steps S2 and S3 multiple times to obtain multiple damage and recovery curves under multiple sampling scenarios until the curves converge.

[0013] S5. Calculate the reliability index based on the obtained component damage curve, user damage curve, component recovery curve, and user recovery curve.

[0014] Preferably, the simulation of the fault process of the power distribution system in S2 is specifically as follows:

[0015] S201. Establish a fault model for the components of the power distribution system, where λ is the fault rate of the component and u is the repair rate of the component. Considering that extreme events not only damage the components but also affect the repair work of the maintenance team, the fault and repair processes of the components are separated. It is assumed that the repair process of the faulty components will not be carried out within the disturbance time range of the extreme event. The repair of the faulty components will begin after the impact of the extreme event ends. Furthermore, since the fault rate of the power distribution system during normal operation is relatively small, it is assumed that no new components will fail during the repair process period.

[0016] S202. The state of the component is sampled using the Monte Carlo simulation method. During the period of extreme event disturbance, the lifetime of the component is assumed to follow an exponential distribution, i.e.:

[0017] F(t) = 1 - e -λt

[0018] The probability of a component failing per hour is:

[0019] P(t<1)=F(1)=1-e -λ

[0020] Generate a random number U, if U < 1 - e -λ If U > 1 - e, then the component has failed; -λ If the probability of failure is not found, the component will not fail. Since the exponential distribution has no memory, the probability of failure remains unchanged for each subsequent hour. The components that have not failed will continue to be sampled until the disaster ends.

[0021] S203. Record the operating status of each component during the system damage process, determine the consequences of component failure, and plot the damage curves of the components and users.

[0022] Preferably, the simulation of the power distribution system restoration process in S3 specifically involves:

[0023] S301. Based on the damage results of the power distribution system, determine the system fault scenarios, form a set of faulty components, and optimize the system to obtain the optimal maintenance sequence with the minimum cumulative power loss as the optimization objective. The optimization model is as follows:

[0024] Objective function:

[0025]

[0026] The objective function is to minimize the cumulative power outage amount (CPNS), and the decision variable is b. tj Given the state of component j at time t, the formula for calculating the cumulative power outage charge CPNS is:

[0027]

[0028] Among them, l ti Let Δt be the load lost at node i, and Δt be the sampling interval.

[0029] Constraints:

[0030]

[0031]

[0032] Among them, s ij Indicates line b j Is it a load node n? i The power supply path, s ij When it is 1, it indicates line B. j For load node N i The power supply path, s ij When it is 0, it indicates line B. j Not load node N i The power supply path, L i Let δ be the load of node i, δ be a 0-1 variable, M be a large number, and ε be a small number;

[0033] By optimizing the solution of the line state vector at each time step, the optimal maintenance strategy can be obtained.

[0034] S302. Based on the obtained maintenance strategy, the Monte Carlo method is used to repair the components. The maintenance time of the components follows an exponential distribution.

[0035] G(t) = 1 - e -ut

[0036] Where u is the component repair rate, a random number U is generated to simulate the time required for component repair, and the calculation formula is:

[0037]

[0038] Based on the repair sequence, simulate the time required to repair each faulty component in turn;

[0039] S303. Record the repair time of each component during the system recovery process, identify the users whose power is restored due to component repair, and plot the recovery curves of components and users.

[0040] Preferably, the criterion for curve convergence in S4 is that the values ​​at each interval on the curve converge.

[0041] Preferably, the reliability indicators in S5 include the number of faulty components, the number of users experiencing power outages, the amount of power outage load, the number of repaired components, the number of users with restored power, the amount of power restored load, the average failure rate of components, the average failure rate of users, the average failure rate of loads, the average repair rate of components, the average power restoration rate of users, the average power restoration rate of loads, the cumulative number of users with power outages, and the cumulative amount of power outages.

[0042] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it can assess the damage and recovery process of power distribution systems under the influence of extreme events, providing theoretical reference for relevant departments and users, and reducing the impact of extreme events on the normal operation of power distribution systems. This invention establishes a dynamic assessment framework for the damage and recovery process of power distribution systems, decomposing the power distribution system's resilience curve into a fault curve and a recovery curve, analyzing from both component and user perspectives, proposing relevant assessment indicators, and comprehensively analyzing the damage and recovery process of power distribution systems under extreme events.

[0057] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0058] Example:

[0059] Methods for assessing the dynamic process of power distribution system damage and recovery under extreme events, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this method first determines the network topology, component faults, and maintenance parameters of the power distribution system, and determines the intensity and duration of extreme event disturbances. Monte Carlo simulation is used to simulate the fault and recovery process, plotting fault and recovery curves from both component and user perspectives. Multiple simulations are performed until the curves converge, and relevant indicators are calculated to complete the dynamic assessment of the power distribution system's damage and recovery process under extreme events. This scheme includes the following steps:

[0060] S1, determine the relevant parameters of the power distribution system and information on extreme event disasters, specifically:

[0061] S101, determine the network topology parameters of the power distribution system. The parameters include line information, user information and power supply information. Among them, the line information includes the starting node number, the ending node number and the line length; the user information includes the node number, the number of users at the node and the load at the node; and the power supply information refers to the power supply node number.

[0062] S102, determine the disturbance intensity and duration of the extreme event; the greater the disturbance intensity and the longer the duration of the extreme event, the greater the probability of power distribution system components failing;

[0063] S103, determine the failure rate of power distribution system components and the repair rate of faulty components during the repair process based on the disturbance intensity of extreme events and component vulnerability curves;

[0064] S2 simulates the fault process of the power distribution system;

[0065] S3 simulates the power distribution system recovery process;

[0066] S4. Repeat steps S2 and S3 multiple times to obtain multiple damage and recovery curves under multiple sampling scenarios until the curves converge.

[0067] S5. Calculate the reliability index based on the obtained component damage curve, user damage curve, component recovery curve, and user recovery curve.

[0068] The S2 simulation of the fault process in the power distribution system specifically involves:

[0069] S201. Establish fault models for power distribution system components, such as... Figure 2 As shown, λ is the component failure rate and u is the component repair rate. Considering that extreme events not only damage components but also affect the repair work of the maintenance team, the component failure and repair process are separated. It is assumed that the repair process of the faulty component will not be carried out within the disturbance time range of the extreme event. The repair of the faulty component will begin after the impact of the extreme event ends. Furthermore, since the failure rate of the power distribution system during normal operation is relatively small, it is assumed that no new component failures will occur during the repair process period.

[0070] S202. The state of the component is sampled using the Monte Carlo simulation method. During the period of extreme event disturbance, the lifetime of the component is assumed to follow an exponential distribution, i.e.:

[0071] F(t) = 1 - e -λt

[0072] The probability of a component failing per hour is:

[0073] P(t<1)=F(1)=1-e -λ

[0074] Generate a random number U, if U < 1 - e -λ If U > 1 - e, then the component has failed; -λ If the probability of failure is not found, the component will not fail. Since the exponential distribution has no memory, the probability of failure remains unchanged for each subsequent hour. The components that have not failed will continue to be sampled until the disaster ends.

[0075] S203. Record the operating status of each component during the system damage process, determine the consequences of component failure, and plot the damage curves for the components and the user, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown.

[0076] The simulation of the power distribution system restoration process in S3 specifically involves:

[0077] S301. Based on the damage results of the power distribution system, determine the system fault scenarios, form a set of faulty components, and optimize the system to obtain the optimal maintenance sequence with the minimum cumulative power loss as the optimization objective. The optimization model is as follows:

[0078] Objective function:

[0079]

[0080] The objective function is to minimize the cumulative power outage amount (CPNS), and the decision variable is b. tj Given the state of component j at time t, the formula for calculating the cumulative power outage charge CPNS is:

[0081]

[0082] Among them, l ti Let Δt be the load lost at node i, and Δt be the sampling interval.

[0083] Constraints:

[0084]

[0085]

[0086] Among them, s ij Indicates line b j Is it a load node n? i The power supply path, s ij When it is 1, it indicates line B. j For load node N i The power supply path, s ij When it is 0, it indicates line B. j Not load node N i The power supply path, L i Let δ be the load of node i, δ be a 0-1 variable, M be a large number, and ε be a small number;

[0087] By optimizing the solution of the line state vector at each time step, the optimal maintenance strategy can be obtained.

[0088] S302. Based on the obtained maintenance strategy, the Monte Carlo method is used to repair the components. The maintenance time of the components follows an exponential distribution.

[0089] G(t) = 1 - e -ut

[0090] Where u is the component repair rate, a random number U is generated to simulate the time required for component repair, and the calculation formula is:

[0091]

[0092] Based on the repair sequence, simulate the time required to repair each faulty component in turn;

[0093] S303. Record the repair time of each component during the system recovery process, identify the users affected by the component repairs, and plot the recovery curves for components and users, such as... Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown.

[0094] The criterion for curve convergence in S4 is that the values ​​at each interval on the curve converge.

[0095] The reliability indicators in S5 include the number of faulty components, the number of users experiencing power outages, the amount of power outage load, the number of repaired components, the number of users with restored power, the amount of power restored load, the average failure rate of components, the average failure rate of users, the average failure rate of loads, the average repair rate of components, the average power restoration rate of users, the average power restoration rate of loads, the cumulative number of users with power outages, and the cumulative amount of power outages.

[0096] A modified IEEE-37 node test system is used as a case study, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the original system had 37 load nodes, 35 lines, and 1 transformer. To facilitate the demonstration of the method proposed in this paper, the following modifications were made: load node 799 was changed to a low-voltage substation node, i.e., the power supply node of the distribution network; and the transformer between load nodes 709 and 775 was replaced with line L35. The load capacity and number of users of each load node are shown in Table 1.
