Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power flow calculation technology, and in particular to a method for optimizing the operation of active distribution network flexibility resources based on the fully embedded method. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of the national "dual-carbon" strategic goals, distributed resources, primarily photovoltaic (PV) power, are being extensively integrated into distribution networks, gradually forming distribution networks with high PV penetration. This has led to an increasingly prominent contradiction between voltage fluctuation issues and users' ever-increasing voltage quality requirements. Flexible resources are a crucial means of mitigating voltage fluctuation problems. The rational allocation and operation of flexible resources can improve voltage near the connection point, enhance power flow distribution within the system, and reduce line losses, thus playing a vital role in the efficient and economical operation of distribution networks and even the entire power system.
[0003] Power flow calculation is a fundamental analytical tool for power system planning and operation, and it forms the basis for solving optimal power flow problems. The process of solving power flow involves solving a system of nonlinear equations. This nonlinearity makes it difficult to directly address the optimization of flexible resource operation in active distribution networks. The high proportion of flexible resources makes the power generation capacity of the power system more dynamic and uncertain. Furthermore, the multi-timescale operation of the power system brought about by the introduction of flexible resources presents difficulties and challenges to power flow calculation, significantly reducing the efficiency of power flow solution.
[0004] Currently, the Newton-Raphson method is commonly used to solve nonlinear power flow equations in power systems. However, the NR method is widely recognized as being sensitive to initial value selection during power flow calculations. Furthermore, in large-scale power system power flow calculations or calculations involving the optimization of flexible resource operation states, it requires repeated updates and inverse operations of the Jacobi matrix, leading to increased computational load, slower computation speed, and the potential for singularity in the Jacobi matrix due to excessive iterations, resulting in non-convergence of the power flow calculation. Considering that complex and dynamic large-scale power grid system optimization problems often involve multiple objectives that are related and conflicting, suitable multi-objective optimization algorithms are needed. A suitable optimization method requires a trade-off between convergence speed, robustness, and algorithm complexity. In summary, robustly and efficiently solving multi-objective optimization problems involving flexible resources in large-scale power systems is challenging, exhibiting problems such as low solution efficiency, poor robustness, and cumbersome algorithms. Summary of the Invention

It realizes flexible resource optimization operation that takes into account both operational economy and power quality.
[0054] (2) Using the holomorphic embedding method to replace the conventional power flow calculation method to solve the problem of optimizing the operation of flexible resources in the distribution network can avoid the disadvantage of repeated iterative updates of the Jacobi matrix in the traditional power flow calculation method. At the same time, it has the advantages of non-iterative recursive solution of the power series coefficients of holomorphic functions and non-initial value dependence of using a given feasible solution with actual physical meaning as the initial reference state. It significantly reduces the difficulty of solving the power flow of the flexible resource operation optimization model and improves the solution efficiency of the model.
[0055] (3) With the continuous in-depth research by researchers at home and abroad, the performance of the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm has been continuously improved, and its application fields are also constantly expanding. Choosing this algorithm to deal with the optimal power flow problem is relatively mature to a certain extent. Attached Figure Description
