Description

A Model-Based Prediction-Based Smart Grid Energy Optimization Management Method Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of smart grid energy management technology, and in particular relates to a model-based prediction-based method for efficient energy management in smart grids. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional power systems are inefficient due to their complete reliance on fossil fuels and the fact that centralized generation is located far from users. In such cases, power generation often requires long-distance transmission and distribution lines to reach users, incurring significant resources for system construction and maintenance, and resulting in substantial transmission losses. Consequently, centralized generation typically causes more environmental pollution than distributed generation technologies. Currently, emerging smart grids with distributed generation and consumption models are appearing. These smart grid energy management models, with their low transmission losses and ability to intelligently control electricity for consumers, are performing exceptionally well in electricity markets worldwide.

[0003] Distributed microgrids utilizing renewable energy sources reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate high carbon emissions. Furthermore, microgrids can connect to smart homes through methods such as energy islanding and grid connection. In energy islanding mode, residential microgrids and commercial grids cannot initiate energy trading mechanisms. However, in grid-connected mode, microgrids can buy and sell electricity from external grids. Forecasting of unstable clean energy sources such as wind and solar power within microgrids is crucial; the selection of forecasting models typically depends on available data, the objectives of the model network mechanism, and energy planning operations. Machine learning models process large amounts of data, providing accurate predictive analysis. Artificial neural networks extract and model the correlations and characteristics of renewable energy sources, making accurate predictions of their future power generation.

[0004] Current approaches to energy management primarily utilize mathematical, cybernetics, and heuristic algorithms. Firstly, mathematical methods mainly employ mixed-integer linear programming to provide optimal solutions for tasks such as energy use and renewable resource management, achieving an optimal schedule under dynamic electrical constraints while maintaining user comfort. However, mathematical and deterministic methods suffer from system and computational complexity. Secondly, control methods have been explored. Some researchers have employed integrated and automated control of renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic power plants and solid oxide fuel cells in smart grids. Energy management systems utilize proportional-integral and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference technologies to effectively balance supply and demand in the grid. Other researchers have designed a model predictive control-based dynamic energy management system for connecting to grid-connected microgrids in residential communities, where data is collected from various electrical components via smart metering systems. However, control-based methods are computationally intensive, resulting in slow optimization. Finally, heuristic algorithms are employed, primarily utilizing a layered architecture of cloud computing and edge computing to provide intelligent, autonomous strategic decision-making based on massive amounts of information. In homes and the power grid, large-scale information collection, communication, processing, and control are achieved through cooperative energy management agents. Experimental results show that this agent-based solution has good application prospects in collaborative energy management.

[0005] While the aforementioned methods have achieved some success in energy management, researchers have not comprehensively considered key functionalities such as advanced metering infrastructure, forecasting, and two-way communication within smart grids. Furthermore, objectives such as electricity costs, carbon emissions, and grid peak ratios have not been addressed simultaneously in optimization. Therefore, an optimization technique is needed that considers user priorities, real-time electricity prices, and user comfort constraints to address the uncertainties of load and renewable energy generation. This technique aims to achieve efficient energy utilization, reduced energy costs, mitigate peak ratios, alleviate carbon emissions, and improve end-user satisfaction, thereby simultaneously satisfying both electricity suppliers and users. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies, this invention introduces a highly efficient microgrid energy management model to systematically schedule loads and the charging and discharging of electric vehicles. The smart microgrid is equipped with controllable appliances, photovoltaic panels, wind turbine power generation, electrolyzers, and energy storage systems. The charging and discharging of electric vehicles reduces peak loads, peak-to-average power ratios, costs, energy costs, and carbon emissions from household appliances. The energy storage system is dispatched using real-time pricing. This achieves a balance between electricity demand and supply, and reduces energy costs, grid peak power ratios, carbon emissions, and user dissatisfaction, realizing a new low-carbon and environmentally friendly model.

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to establish a mathematical model of each grid node in a distributed power grid, including the power consumption end, the power supply end, the energy storage end, and the overall microgrid. Secondly, it clarifies the distributed grid-connected power generation model for unstable clean energy sources, such as photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation models, and uses artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict future clean energy power generation. Finally, based on factors such as minimum energy cost and carbon emissions, a model prediction optimization problem is established, and the execution strategies for each factor are solved to reduce energy costs paid by consumers, alleviate peak electricity demand pressure, minimize carbon emissions, and improve user comfort, thereby achieving a new low-carbon and environmentally friendly model.

[0008] This research focuses on the efficient energy management of microgrids, and includes the following steps: First, establishing mathematical models of each grid node in the distributed grid, including the power consumption end, power supply end, energy storage end, and the overall microgrid; second, for the distributed grid-connected power generation model of unstable photovoltaic and wind power clean energy, predicting future photovoltaic and wind power generation through training and testing of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to reduce the instability factors brought to the grid by clean power sources; finally, cleverly utilizing model predictive control technology, at each sampling moment, establishing a model predictive optimization problem based on minimum energy cost and carbon emission factors, solving for the execution strategy of each factor, and reducing the energy cost paid by consumers, alleviating the peak pressure of electricity demand, minimizing carbon emissions, and improving the user's electricity comfort by continuously optimizing the optimal strategy.

[0015] Furthermore, in step S2, the solar radiation and wind speed time series are used as model inputs to remove irrelevant and redundant features. The selected sample feature inputs are divided into training and test datasets. Then, the training and test sets are used to predict the solar radiation and wind speed over the next day. The error between the artificial neural network prediction and the actual observation is calculated. In the optimization stage, the enhanced differential evolution algorithm (EDE) is used to further minimize the error.

[0042] (1) Feature selection stage: The prediction model based on information interaction technology uses solar radiation and wind speed time series as model input; the input is sorted through information interaction technology, and the sorted unit features are passed to the redundancy filter to remove irrelevant and redundant features; then, the selected sample features are input into training and test datasets.

[0043] (2) In the prediction phase, training and test sets are used to predict solar radiation and wind speed over the next full day. The artificial neural network consists of three layers: an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. Each layer of artificial neurons (ANs) uses the sigmoid function as the activation function, as shown in equation (8).

[0045] Where S is the solar radiation intensity and wind speed input signal, parameter β is the steepness of the activation function, and b represents the signal deviation value; the prediction model designed above can be trained to learn and accurately estimate the electricity generated in the future; in this embodiment, since the multivariate autoregressive rule has higher convergence than the benchmark learning rule, the designed prediction framework adopts a supervised learning method to learn from time series analysis;

[0046] The prediction framework is trained using a training set and validated using a test set. The accuracy of the predictions is then determined by comparing them with actual ground observations. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is used as the validation ratio between the artificial neural network's predicted output and the actual observed values, and can be expressed as:

[0048] in, Represented as actual observed values, Let n represent the predicted solar radiation intensity and wind speed, where n represents the number of samples used. Indicates the number of days observed; the predicted values ​​from the artificial neural network predictor are provided to the optimization stage of the prediction model to further minimize the error;

[0049] (3) Optimization stage: Calculate the error between the predicted value and the actual observed value of the artificial neural network. In the optimization stage, the enhanced differential evolution algorithm (EDE) is used to further minimize the error.

[0050] Furthermore, step S3 specifically includes the following steps:

Users then send their electricity consumption patterns back to the energy management system. The system then plans consumer electricity consumption strategies and electric vehicle charging / discharging strategies to reduce energy costs, mitigate grid fluctuations, and decrease carbon emissions. Therefore, the objective function is modeled as an optimization function to minimize these objectives. Each optimization objective is mathematically expressed according to the formula for the overall energy management problem.

[0092] Step 1: Establish a mathematical model of each grid node in the distributed power grid, including the power consumption end, the power supply end, the energy storage end, and the overall microgrid.

[0093] Step 1.1: Modeling the electrical appliances operating in the smart home, as shown in Figure 2, where each device is arranged according to consumer demand. An adaptive scheduling method based on real-time pricing signals is used. When the energy management system receives a low-price signal from the real-time pricing system, it immediately schedules and controls the appliances.

[0097] (2)

[0098] Step 1.2.1: Wind Power Generation

[0099] The hourly power generation of wind power is mainly determined by wind speed, and its mathematical model is expressed as:

However, the above model satisfies the following constraints:

[0103] in, and These represent the speed at which the wind enters the blade and the speed at which it exits the blade, respectively.

[0104] Step 1.2.2: Photovoltaic power generation

[0105] The power generation of photovoltaic panels is directly affected by the intensity of solar radiation, and its mathematical model can be expressed as:

[0112] Step 1.3: Establish an energy storage system model. Energy storage systems include static storage and mobile storage systems, which are equipped with unstable renewable energy sources in a microgrid.

[0120] First, a differential algorithm is used to optimize the artificial neural network framework to predict solar radiation and wind speed, as shown in Figure 3, in order to effectively estimate power generation. The proposed prediction model consists of three parts: (1) feature selector; (2) predictor; (3) optimizer.

[0121] (1) Feature selection stage: The prediction model based on information interaction technology uses solar radiation and wind speed time series as model inputs. The inputs are sorted through information interaction technology, and the sorted unit features are passed to the redundancy filter to remove irrelevant and redundant features. Then, the selected sample features are input into training and test datasets.

[0122] (2) The prediction stage is based on artificial neural networks. Specifically, training and test sets are used to predict solar radiation and wind speed over the next full day. The artificial neural network consists of three layers: an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. Each layer's artificial neurons (ANs) use the sigmoid function as the activation function, as shown in equation (8):

[0124] Where S represents the solar radiation intensity and wind speed input signals, β is the steepness of the activation function, and b represents the signal deviation. The prediction model designed above can be trained to learn and accurately estimate future electricity generation. In this embodiment, because the multivariate autoregressive rule has higher convergence than the baseline learning rule, the designed prediction framework uses a supervised learning method to learn from time series analysis.

[0125] The prediction framework is trained using a training set and validated on a test set to predict future values. The accuracy of the predictions is then determined by comparing the obtained predictions with actual ground observations.

[0128] (3) Optimization stage: Calculate the error between the predicted value and the actual observed value of the artificial neural network. In the optimization stage, the enhanced differential evolution (EDE) algorithm is used to further minimize the error.

[0129] Step 3: Based on the factors of minimum energy cost, carbon emissions, and minimal grid fluctuations, establish a model to predict and optimize the problem, solve for the execution strategies of each factor, reduce the energy costs paid by consumers, alleviate the peak pressure of electricity demand, minimize carbon emissions, and improve the user's electricity comfort.

[0130] In energy management, the main objectives are energy cost reduction, reduced grid fluctuations, and lower carbon emissions, achieved through proactive consumer / end-user participation in distributed generation and demand response projects. To this end, the energy management system receives a demand response signal and broadcasts it to users in advance. Users then send their electricity consumption patterns back to the energy management system. The system will then orchestrate consumer electricity consumption strategies and electric vehicle charging / discharging strategies to reduce energy costs, mitigate grid fluctuations, and decrease carbon emissions. Therefore, the proposed objective function is modeled as an optimization function to minimize these objectives. Each optimization objective will be mathematically expressed according to the formula for the overall energy management problem:

[0148] (4) Construction of the objective optimization function

[0149] To achieve our desired goals—minimum energy cost, carbon emissions, peak-to-average ratio, and user comfort—the optimization problem can be designed as follows:
