Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention presents a joint planning method for distribution networks that considers comprehensive performance, encompassing the "source-grid-load-storage" system. This method belongs to the field of distribution network planning that includes distributed generation (DG). Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the increasing severity of environmental pollution and energy shortages, distributed generation technology has received growing attention. The penetration rate of distributed power sources in distribution networks is rapidly increasing. On the one hand, the large-scale integration of distributed power sources introduces more uncertainties into the distribution network; on the other hand, the application of energy storage technology effectively smooths fluctuations in distributed generation power and improves power quality. How to scientifically combine and integrate complementary energy internet technologies and construct an energy supply system of "source-grid-load-storage" to maximize energy efficiency is currently a research hotspot in the planning field.
[0003] With the continuous development of the global economy, large-scale factory production has replaced individual workshops and manual production, leading to a surge in energy demand. In the past, power generation relied primarily on fossil fuels. While this was economically viable, excessive extraction has resulted in energy depletion, land subsidence, and the pollution from large-scale combustion, including smog, acid rain, and global warming, causing significant harm to our environment. Therefore, traditional power generation methods are constrained by various factors, and clean, renewable distributed power sources have entered a golden age of development, accelerating the transformation of my country's energy structure from traditional distribution networks to active distribution networks. With the large-scale integration of clean distributed power sources into the power system, new problems have arisen. The greater uncertainty and volatility of energy information has caused voltage fluctuations and increased network losses, significantly impacting the reliability and stability of the power system. Active distribution networks need to regulate various controllable resources to fully utilize their regulatory role and ensure economical and stable system operation. How to achieve coordinated optimization of controllable resources is of significant research importance. Summary of the Invention

[0038] (2) Lower-level objective function:

P represents the average daily load of the distribution network. g (t+1), P g (t) represents the daily load value of the distribution network at that time.
[0043] The constraints of the source-grid-load-storage joint two-level planning model are as follows:
[0044] ① Active power output constraints of distributed generation:
[0045] P DG,min ≤P DG (t)≤P DG,max (19);

[0047] P DG (t)=(1+μfore )P DG.fore (t) (20)
[0048] 0≤|μ fore |≤μ fore.max (twenty one)
[0049] Where: μ fore The coefficient of error for predicting photovoltaic and wind power output is P; the closer it is to 0, the higher the prediction accuracy. DG.fore (t) represents the day-ahead forecast of the active power output of the distributed generation. fore.max This represents the maximum error coefficient for predicting photovoltaic and wind power output.

[0070] Step 4: Apply the particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve the bi-level programming model established in Step 3:
[0071] (1) In the two-level programming model, the active power output of the upper-level energy storage system and controllable load and the daily load power of the lower-level distribution network are variables. These variables are regarded as particles, and the position and velocity of the particles in space are initialized.
[0072] (2) Taking the distribution network dispatching operation cost, comprehensive benefits, load amplitude and volatility as the objectives, the fitness of particles in the population is calculated through power flow calculation. The position and fitness value of these particles are stored in pbest, and the position and fitness value of the optimal solution in all pbest are stored in gbest.

[0074] (4) When the stopping condition is met, stop the search and output the result; otherwise, continue from (3) to perform another speed and position update.
[0075] Through the above steps, the integrated planning of the power distribution network, including the source, grid, load, and storage, can be achieved.
[0076] This invention provides a comprehensive "source-grid-load-storage" joint planning method for distribution networks, with the following technical advantages:
[0077] 1) Compared with the traditional source-grid-load-storage joint planning method, this invention simultaneously considers photovoltaic power generation output, wind power generation, and various interactive forms among power sources, grid, load and energy storage, such as source-source complementarity, source-grid coordination, grid-load interaction, grid-storage interaction and source-load interaction, thereby improving the level of planning refinement.
[0078] 2) Based on the core concept of active distribution networks, this invention categorizes controllable resources into: distributed generation, distribution network structure, controllable loads, and energy storage systems. Addressing the operational issues arising from the integration of distributed generation into the power system, adjusting the network structure can improve stability and economy. Controllable loads and energy storage systems can further enhance economy and increase the penetration rate of distributed generation. Analysis shows that simultaneously considering multiple controllable resources significantly improves economy, stability, and reliability compared to optimizing a single controllable resource.

[0095] This paper proposes a comprehensive planning method for distribution network sources, grid, load, and storage. First, it briefly analyzes the impact of coordinated planning among various controllable resources on the power grid, providing reliable support for model establishment. Then, it mainly proposes a joint planning model for sources, grid, load, and storage. Based on dispatch control strategies, it considers the volatility and randomness brought about by distributed generation (DG) access to the grid, user satisfaction with controllable load participation in optimization, and the charging and discharging status and characteristics of energy storage devices. Under constraints such as power balance, energy storage charging and discharging power, and flexible load response, a two-layer objective function is established: the upper objective function optimizes overall benefits, and the lower objective function optimizes load changes. The characteristics of DG, controllable loads, ESS (Energy Saving Power Supply), and grid structure under different scenarios and their impact on the power grid are analyzed. A two-layer model that considers reliability, stability, and economy is established to achieve optimal operation. The feasibility and effectiveness of collaborative optimization of source-grid-load-storage joint planning under different scenarios are verified. The results demonstrate that collaborative optimization improves the stability and economy of power grid operation from the perspectives of comprehensive load and voltage deviation. Details are as follows:
[0096] Step 1: Control strategies that consider the participation of distributed wind power and distributed photovoltaic power in optimal dispatch.
[0097] Step 1.1: Active distribution network sources, grids, loads, and storage units participate in the distribution network dispatching process by signing contracts with various load managers.
[0098] The main purpose of the integrated planning of power generation, grid, load, and energy storage in an active distribution network is to fully utilize controllable resources and renewable energy sources within the distribution network, achieving positive multi-cooperative interaction. This reduces distribution network dispatching costs, improves voltage stability, ensures power supply reliability, and better promotes large-scale intermittent power supply and wide-ranging energy consumption. The active distribution network described in this invention includes photovoltaic power generation systems, wind power generation systems, flexible loads, and energy storage devices. Flexible loads include basic loads and controllable loads. Basic loads refer to fixed loads that meet daily human needs, while controllable loads mainly participate in distribution network dispatching through contracts with load managers. The dispatching process is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.
[0099] Step 1.2: Determine the photovoltaic power output probability model and wind power generation probability model for the planning area based on the actual situation.
[0100] Wind power and photovoltaic (PV) power generation are mainly affected by the natural environment. PV power output is low at night and high during the day. The output power of PV cells is closely related to the amount of solar radiation. Studies have shown that the probability of solar irradiance approximately follows a Beta distribution model over a certain period. Wind power, on the other hand, has the opposite characteristic of high output at night and low output during the day, and is closely related to wind speed. Wind speed over a certain period approximately follows a Weibull distribution. The probability density functions describing the randomness of solar irradiance and wind speed intensity over a period of time are:
[0101]
[0102]
[0103] In the formula: r represents the actual irradiance within the statistical time period; r max Γ represents the maximum irradiance; α and β represent the coefficients of the Beta distribution; Γ represents a function of Gamma; v represents the actual wind speed; k and c are the shape factor and scale factor of the Weibull distribution, respectively.
[0104] Step 1.3: Mathematical model considering joint load scheduling of source, grid, load and storage
[0105] Bilevel programming is a mathematical model of a bilevel decision problem. It is a system optimization problem with a hierarchical bilevel structure, where each level has its own objective function and constraints. The objective function and constraints of the upper-level problem are not only related to the upper-level decision variables but also depend on the optimal solution of the lower-level problem. Conversely, the optimal solution of the lower-level problem is influenced by the upper-level decision variables. The decision-maker passes the decision variables to the lower level, which then uses the upper-level decision variables as parameters and its own objective function to find the optimal solution. The found optimal solution is then fed back to the upper level. This decision-making mechanism requires both the upper and lower levels to consider the adverse effects of feedback from the other.
[0106] Equations (1) and (2) are used to illustrate the relationship between upper-level and lower-level decisions:
[0107]
[0108]
[0109] Equation (3): The objective function and constraints of the upper-level model, where F is the upper-level objective function; γ inv δ represents decision variables, where F is a decision variable influenced by the lower levels; G represents inequality constraints, and H represents equality constraints.
[0110] Equation (4): The objective function and constraints of the lower-level model, where f is the lower-level objective function; γ inv γ ope Let γ be the decision variable of the lower-level model. inv 'g' represents the decision variable influenced by the upper level; 'h' represents the lower level inequality constraint; 'h' represents the lower level equality constraint.
[0111] In this study of the integrated planning method for power generation, grid, load, and energy storage, the main considerations are the overall economic benefits and operational safety and stability of the power grid. Since distributed generation (DG) access to the grid introduces significant randomness and volatility, it also impacts the load. The load optimization characteristic curve is influenced by both the location of DG access and the capacity of energy storage devices, thus altering dispatch costs. Based on the interplay among these four factors, a two-layer integrated planning model for power generation, grid, load, and energy storage is established. The upper layer is the planning layer, and the lower layer is the operation layer, ensuring that the power system maximizes economic benefits and reliability during operation. The block diagram of the two-layer integrated planning model is shown below. Figure 2 As shown.
[0112] Step 2: Propose a two-tiered joint planning model that considers comprehensive benefits.
[0113] Step 2.1: Propose an upper-level objective function that achieves optimal benefits while considering the power supply stability and economy of the distribution network, mainly including the distribution network dispatching and operation costs, comprehensive benefits, and voltage deviation.
[0114] Objective 1: The operating costs of distribution network dispatching include the power consumption costs of energy storage devices, the revenue from charging and discharging, government subsidies, and network losses. The overall revenue includes the costs of grid expansion or upgrades, as well as system reserve costs. The revenue generated from charging and discharging energy storage devices refers to the difference between storing energy when electricity prices are low and releasing it when prices are high; the government subsidies mentioned in this invention are in the form of electricity price subsidies.

[0120]
[0121]
[0122] In the formula: C ess Indicates the cost of power dispatch from the energy storage system; R ess The revenue generated from charging and discharging the energy storage system and the government subsidy revenue; C g Indicates the cost of upgrading and constructing the power distribution network; d r The discount rate is 7.7%; C loss P represents the cost of power loss in power distribution at different times; loss Indicates the power loss of the distribution network at different time periods; C e Indicates electricity price for different time periods; e ess This indicates the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of lithium batteries. For reference, the kWh cost of lithium batteries in 2020 was 0.25 yuan / kWh; P l C1 represents the energy storage system's power consumption; C1 represents the energy storage system's revenue; λ dix (i), λ ch r(i) represents the variable representing the charging and discharging state at time i, with a value of 0 or 1; P dis (i), P chr(i) represents the energy storage charging and discharging power at time i; C0(i) represents the electricity price at time i; C2 represents the government subsidy revenue of the energy storage system. This invention considers electricity price subsidies.
[0123] Objective 2: Another indicator that needs optimization in the distribution network is the voltage at each node. Under normal operating conditions and with certain safety constraints, we ideally want the node voltage to be near its rated voltage, with the smallest possible voltage deviation. The voltage deviation after distributed generation is connected to the distribution network is shown below:
[0124]
[0125] In the formula: i represents time; m represents a node; n represents the total number of nodes; V m.f V represents the actual voltage value of node m at time i; N This indicates the node's rated voltage.
[0126] Since the aforementioned objectives lack a consistent dimension, they are normalized for ease of subsequent research to balance their individual impacts on the objective function. The normalized objective function is shown below:
[0127]
[0128]
[0129] The overall objective function is as follows:
[0130] minf=min(ω1f1+ω2f2) (15)
[0131] In equation (13), f1 in the denominator represents the cost of peak electricity price when the grid dispatching operation cost and comprehensive benefits reach their maximum. 24 represents the number of moments in a day; n represents the number of system nodes; V max The maximum allowable voltage deviation of the node is 0.05 pu; the maximum allowable voltage deviation of the node in this invention is taken as 0.05 pu.
[0132] Step 2.2: Propose a lower-level objective function that considers the optimal load variation and reflects the power supply reliability of the distribution network.
[0133] The goal of lower-level planning is to optimize load variation, reflecting the power supply reliability of the distribution network. It is evaluated jointly by the amplitude and rate of fluctuation of the overall load on the distribution network side.
[0134]
[0135]
[0136] minf3=η1T+η2λ(18)
[0137] In the formula: T represents the load fluctuation amplitude; λ represents the load fluctuation rate; η1 and η2 represent the weighting coefficients of the two evaluation indicators. Since the load fluctuation rate has a greater impact on the reliability of the distribution network, this invention takes η1 = 0.25 and η2 = 0.75; P gmax P gmin : These represent the maximum and minimum daily load power of the distribution network, respectively; Average daily load of the distribution network; P g (t+1), P g (t): Represents the daily load value of the distribution network at any given time.
[0138] Constraints:
[0139] The two-layer model for integrated planning of energy sources, grids, loads, and energy storage also needs to meet certain constraints. The planning layer (upper layer) mainly includes constraints on the active power output of distributed generation sources, node voltage constraints, branch current constraints, branch power constraints, and energy storage system response constraints. The operation layer (lower layer) mainly includes reliability constraints and load response constraints. Additionally, both layers need to satisfy the total power conservation constraint.

[0163] ⑥. Total power conservation constraint:
[0164] At any given time, the distribution network maintains a balance between the total electricity purchased from the main grid (generally the output of conventional generating units) and the combined active power output from uncontrollable loads, distributed generation output, power LA, and energy storage dispatch in the distribution network.
[0165] P G . t =P ul.t +F LA,t +P ESS.t -P DG.t (28)
[0166] In the formula: P G.t P represents the total electricity purchased by the distribution network from the main grid at time t; ul.t P represents the active power output required by the uncontrollable load at time t; LA,t P represents the active power output of LA at time t, where an increase is positive and a decrease is negative; ESS.t P represents the active power output of stored energy at time t; DG.t This is represented as the active power output of the distributed power source at time t.

[0170] Step 3: Immune Genetic Algorithm
[0171] Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), also known as particle swarm optimization, was invented by Dr. Eberhart and Dr. Kennedy. This algorithm, developed by simulating the foraging behavior of flocks of birds, is a collaborative stochastic search algorithm based on group cooperation. Individuals within the group can share information and cooperate to search for the optimal solution, which is the fundamental idea behind particle swarm optimization. It is generally considered a type of swarm intelligence (SI) and is also included in Multiagent Optimization Systems (MAOS). Essentially, PSO is an iterative optimization tool; the iterative search continues as fitness increases, searching for the optimal solution from random solutions.
[0172] All solutions to the optimization objective problem in PSO can be regarded as a bird, and the particle swarm is equivalent to a flock of birds. In nature, there is food in a certain fixed area. The specific location of the food has not yet been discovered, but the distance between the bird and the food can be perceived. In the optimization problem, these solutions, which are equivalent to birds, are abstracted into particles with zero volume and mass. These particles are placed in an infinitely extending N-dimensional space. In this N-dimensional space, the position and flight speed of the particle can be represented as a vector, and the direction and speed of the particle's next flight are determined by these vectors. The optimal solution we are looking for is the position of the "food". The fitness value of the particle's current position needs to be calculated according to the objective function, which is the distance between the "food" and the particle. In each search iteration, in addition to the optimal solution found by the individual particle based on its own experience, called the individual extreme value (Pbest), the individual particle can also know the optimal solution found by its companions in the whole swarm, called the global extreme value (Gbest). The particle can continuously correct its flight direction and speed through its own and others' experience, and finally find the global optimal solution

[0186] In the formula: ω is the inertia weight; c1 and c2 are learning factors; r1 and r2 are random numbers with values ranging from [0, 1]. and Let N represent the N-dimensional components of the velocity and position vector of particle i after the k-th iteration.
[0187] Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Flow Figure 3 As shown.
[0188] The particle velocity update formula consists of three parts: the first part is inertial behavior, which mainly plays a role in balancing global and local search capabilities; the second part is "cognitive" behavior, indicating that the particle has a tendency to seek its own optimal value; and the third part is the "social" part, indicating that the particle has a tendency to seek the global optimal value. These three parts work together to determine the particle's trajectory.
[0189] Solving the model using the particle swarm optimization algorithm
[0190] (1) In the two-level programming model, the active power output of the upper-level energy storage system and controllable load and the daily load power of the lower-level distribution network are variables. These variables are regarded as particles, and the position and velocity of the particles in space are initialized.
[0191] (2) Taking the distribution network dispatching operation cost, comprehensive benefits, load amplitude and volatility as the objectives, the fitness of particles in the population is calculated by power flow. The position and fitness value of these particles are stored in pbest, and the position and fitness value of the optimal solution in all pbest are stored in gbest.
[0192] (3) Update the velocity and position of the particle using the velocity and position update formula, compare the current pbest and gbest, and update gbest.
[0193] (4) When the stopping condition is met, stop the search and output the result; otherwise, continue from (3) to perform another velocity and position update. The process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0210] from Figure 6 It is known that from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following day, sunlight is weak and almost no longer contributes to power generation. Photovoltaic output reaches its maximum at 12:00 PM. Photovoltaic power generation increases and decreases at fixed intervals, with relatively low volatility. In contrast, wind power generation is highly random, with its curve almost opposite to that of photovoltaic power generation, exhibiting greater volatility. Based on the predicted active power output of distributed generation sources, it is evident that when a large number of distributed generation sources are connected, the stable operation of the power system is disrupted, and its reliability decreases accordingly.
[0211] Joint planning results in different scenarios
[0212] When analyzing the joint planning method of "source-grid-load-storage" in active distribution networks, the optimization results are compared by setting three scenarios: "source-grid-load", "source-grid-storage", and "source-grid-load-storage". The optimization effects are analyzed in the scenarios of "source-grid-load" (no controllable loads participating), "source-grid-storage" (no energy storage system participating), and "source-grid-load-storage" (considering all four controllable resources simultaneously).
[0213] 1) Coordinated optimization of "source, grid, and load"
[0214] In this scenario, the energy storage system does not participate in coordination; only the source-grid-load interaction is considered. The transferable and interruptible load data in Tables 3 and 4 serve as the standard for load dispatching. The joint planning and dispatching results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the node voltage deviation is as follows Figure 9 As shown.
[0215] Controllable loads, without the participation of energy storage systems, can only be managed through day-ahead dispatch. Using controllable load regulation is costly and economically inefficient. Figure 8 , Figure 9 It can be seen that the peak load periods (3-5 and 9-12) with the highest dispatch volume are 3-5 and 9-12, while the off-peak periods are 6-8 and 19-21, during which no load participates in dispatch. This reduces the amount of load participating in dispatch and has a reducing effect on the active power of the load in the distribution network, but it does not have the effect of filling the valleys. Compared with the unoptimized curve, the optimized curve is more stable. It can be seen that the extreme values of active power are all within the range of the extreme values before optimization, and the load fluctuation amplitude has decreased. The node voltage deviation has also decreased, proving that when controllable loads are connected to the grid, the randomness and volatility of distributed power source connection are effectively controlled, and the reliability and stability are improved.
[0216] 2) Coordination and optimization of "source, network, and storage"
[0217] In this scenario, controllable loads do not participate in coordination; only the source-grid-storage functions are considered. The charging and discharging output of the energy storage system is set based on the basic conditions of the comprehensive load in real-time scheduling. The joint planning and scheduling results are as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the node voltage deviation is as follows Figure 11 As shown.
[0218] Depend on Figure 10 , Figure 11It can be seen that the discharge time of the energy storage system is during the peak load periods of 2-6, 8-11, and 19-21, while the charging time is during the off-peak load periods of 0-2, 6-8, 11-19, and 21-24. At 10-12, the state of charge constraint avoids overcharging and affects the lifespan while ensuring economy. The energy storage system constrains the timely reduction of load. However, due to the influence of the reliability requirements of the lower-level target, charging is carried out in time during the 12-14 interval. Compared with the first case, the curve is more stable, and the effect of reducing load fluctuation is more obvious. Compared with before optimization, the node voltage deviation is also reduced, and the optimization effect is better.
[0219] 3) Coordinated optimization of "source-grid-load-storage"
[0220] In this scenario, controllable resources participate in joint planning. Based on the load scheduling arrangements described earlier and the charging and discharging output of the energy storage system, and considering the overall optimization effect, the joint planning and scheduling results are as follows: Figure 12 As shown, the node voltage deviation is as follows Figure 13 As shown.
[0221] Overall, the amount of controllable load called up has increased significantly compared to Scenario 1, with loads that can still be reduced being the main component. Peak shaving and valley filling effects are the most pronounced among the three scenarios. Compared to Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, the optimized Scenario 3 shows a particularly significant reduction in node voltage deviation, making it the best-performing of the three scenarios.
[0222] The optimization results of the three scenarios are comprehensively analyzed to optimize the scheduling load curve and voltage deviation, such as... Figure 14 , Figure 15 As shown.
[0223] By placing the data from the three scenarios into the same graph, it can be clearly seen that when the source-grid-load-storage joint planning is implemented, the peak value decreases and the trough value increases, resulting in the most significant peak shaving and valley filling effect. The curve is also smoother, indicating that the load fluctuation amplitude is the smallest compared to the other scenarios, and the voltage deviation decreases significantly. Whether from the perspective of comprehensive load or voltage deviation, the optimization effect of the source-grid-load-storage joint planning is the most ideal, which is in line with the economic reliability of power grid operation.
[0224] 4) Data analysis of the optimization effect of the integrated planning of power generation, grid, load and storage:
[0225] The amplitude and volatility of the lower-level optimization objectives are clearly reflected in the integrated load active power curve, while the benefits of the upper-level optimization objectives require analysis of the distribution network's operational economy and stability using specific data. The voltage deviation of the upper-level objective function is calculated from the power flow after connecting the corresponding controllable resources.

[0228] As shown in Table 7, the voltage deviation before optimization is larger than that after optimization. Moreover, the optimization effect is the best after the joint planning of source, grid, load and storage, and the stability of the distribution network operation is greatly improved after optimization.

[0233] Based on Objective 1 (operational cost of distribution network dispatch) in the upper-level model, which includes economic objectives such as the cost of power dispatching from energy storage devices, the revenue from charging and discharging, government subsidies, investment, installation, operation and maintenance costs of distributed power sources, and network losses, a specific data analysis is conducted. Table 9 shows that the optimized upper-level objective value is better, and the economic efficiency of distribution network operation is stronger when controllable resources participate in the planning. The difference in the effectiveness of the optimized upper-level objective mainly lies in the cost of power dispatching from energy storage devices, the revenue from charging and discharging and government subsidies, and network losses. According to the analysis in Chapter 3 of this paper, after the joint planning of source-grid-load-storage, the stability of system operation is greatly improved, and network losses are reduced accordingly.
[0234] As shown in Table 8, Scenario 3 has the lowest network loss cost. Although Scenario 2 needs to consider the cost of calling the energy storage system, the energy storage system has the function of "low storage and high discharge," and it has discharge revenue and government subsidies when performing peak shaving and valley filling. It also reduces network losses, avoids large-capacity equipment from using electricity during peak hours, and has lower charging costs. Therefore, Scenario 1 has a better optimization effect than Scenario 2. Scenario 3 combines the optimization effects of Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 on power system operation, achieving the best results in both economy and stability, and thus has the best optimization effect.
[0235] This invention considers the operational characteristics of distributed generation, controllable loads, and energy storage systems in distribution networks, while also taking into account the active power output constraints of distributed generation, the response constraints of energy storage systems, and the power supply reliability constraints. A two-layer model for joint planning of source-grid-load-storage is proposed. The upper layer achieves optimal efficiency while considering the power supply stability and economy of the distribution network, mainly including distribution network dispatching and operation costs, comprehensive benefits, and voltage deviation. The lower layer achieves optimal load variation, and the model is solved using a particle swarm optimization algorithm. Finally, simulations are performed on the IEEE 33-node distribution system to verify the optimization effect of the model. Joint planning and dispatching for three scenarios—"source-grid-load," "source-grid-storage," and "source-grid-load-storage"—are studied respectively. The reliability and economy of power system operation are verified mainly through the active power output and voltage deviation of the comprehensive load. The results show that the joint planning of source-grid-load-storage fully utilizes the controllable resource regulation characteristics and achieves the best optimization effect.
