A power distribution network operator takes minimizing operation cost of an operation system as a target, considers power distribution network power flow constraints, line power flow capacity constraints and node voltage constraints, and encourages a distributed resource cluster to participate in power system operation scheduling. Based on this, the following power distribution network operation model is constructed:

[0038] S2. A constraint learning algorithm for distributed resource clusters is proposed to learn the response characteristics of distributed resource clusters and obtain a data-driven response model based on neural networks.

[0039] Based on the above problem modeling, this invention proposes a constraint learning algorithm for distributed resource clusters. First, the response characteristics of distributed resources are analyzed, a distributed resource dataset is constructed through data sampling, and then a data-driven response model based on neural networks is constructed and learned.

[0040] The constrained learning algorithm includes two processes: the neural network model training process and the equivalent transformation of the network model into a constrained model. The electricity generation and carbon emissions of cluster a are determined by the incentive price decision λi of the upper-level distribution network, based on which a cluster price response model is constructed.

[0041] To accurately model complex cluster response relationships from data, this invention utilizes the powerful fitting performance of Neural Networks (NNs) in machine learning—specifically, constraint learning—to construct a data-driven response model, namely, the neural network-based data-driven response model. Considering the output... Since the variables are continuous, learning response characteristics is essentially a regression problem. Therefore, to construct a neural network based on the rectified linear unit (ReLU) to learn response characteristics, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 The neural network takes the incentive price as input, its hidden layers consist of neurons based on the ReLU activation function, and its output is the distributed resource cluster response, including electricity consumption and carbon emissions. By training this neural network, a data-driven response model based on the neural network is constructed, enabling inference about the response characteristics of distributed resources. The trained network model does not depend on the operating parameters of the distributed resources, thus protecting user privacy. Therefore, the following data-driven response model based on the neural network is constructed:

[0042]

[0043]

[0044] Among them, v l i ReLU(x) represents the i-th neuron in the l-th layer of the network, where ReLU(x) := max(0,x). N represents the bias of the i-th neuron in the l-th layer of the network. l-1 This represents the set of neurons in the (l-1)th layer of the network. This represents the weights between neurons i and j in the l-th layer of the network. Let L represent the j-th neuron in the (l-1)-th layer of the network, and L represent the number of layers in the neural network. v represents the predicted response of the neural network output. L This represents the set of neurons in the output layer. N represents the bias of a neuron. L-1 This represents the set of neurons in the (L-1)th layer of the neural network. This represents the weight of neuron j in the Lth layer of the neural network. Let j represent the neuron j in the (L-1)th layer of the neural network, v0 represent the input neuron, and λ represent the incentive price.

[0045] Based on the neural network structure, a loss function is defined to quantify the output value (predicted value) of the neural network. and the true value y der The distance between them is calculated by optimizing the neural network parameters θ to make the predicted value closer to the true value. Addressing the nature of the regression problem, the loss function is constructed using Mean Square Error (MSE):

[0046]

[0047] Where N represents the number of samples.

[0048] Based on neural network structure and loss function, to minimize loss function L mse With the goal of improving the accuracy of inference values, we use the Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) algorithm to optimize the neural network parameters θ.

[0049] S3. The neural network-based data-driven response model obtained after training in step S2 is equivalently converted into a neural network response constraint model and integrated into the distribution network dispatching model to achieve integrated dispatching.

[0050] Due to the strong nonlinearity of neural networks, data-driven response models are difficult to directly participate in the operation and scheduling of distribution networks. To address this issue, this invention first analyzes the internal structure of neural networks and the connection characteristics of their hidden layers. Then, based on the characteristics of data-driven response models, a neural network response constraint model is constructed. This response constraint model is a mixed integer constraint, suitable for the joint scheduling of distributed resources and distribution networks.

[0051] The nonlinear part of the neural network model is the ReLU activation function of the hidden layer neurons. The core of the ReLU function is to set the negative input value to 0 output, and the positive value remains unchanged output. Therefore, the ReLU equivalent is converted into a mixed integer linear constraint by using the large M method as follows:

[0052] v≥x,v≥0

[0053] v≤x-M L (1-w)

[0054] v≤M U w,w∈{0,1}

[0055] Where M L is the minimum value, M U is the maximum value, and w is an auxiliary 0-1 variable.

[0056] Equivalence analysis: when the input x<0, w takes 0, and the output v is 0; when the input x>0, w takes 1, and the output v is x, verifying the equivalence of the constraints.

[0057] The constraint equivalent conversion relationship of the ReLU applying the optimization relaxation strategy large M method is applied to the ReLU activation function inside the neural network. The data-driven response model after training is further equivalent to a set of mixed integer linear constraints, and a neural network response constraint model of distributed resource clusters is constructed:

[0058]

[0059]

[0060]

[0061]

[0062]

[0063]

[0064] Where, represents the i-th neuron in the first layer network, represents the bias of the i-th neuron in the first layer network, X represents the input layer neuron set, x j represents the input variable of the j-th neuron, N1 represents the neuron set of the first layer network, represents the neuron unactivated output of the l-th layer network, N l represents the neuron set of the l-th layer network, represents the minimum value of the i-th neuron of the l-th layer network, u l,i represents an auxiliary 0-1 variable, maxi, l represents the maximum value of neuron i in the lth layer network, biasi, l represents the bias of the ith neuron in the Lth layer network, N L-1 represents a set of neurons of the L-1th layer network, wi, j, l represents the weight between neuron i and neuron j in the Lth layer network, represents the jth neuron of the L-1th layer network, N L represents a set of neurons of the Lth layer network.

[0065] The above response characteristic model learning and equivalent conversion to the response constraint model are the core of constraint learning, and the final construction of the response constraint model is the basis for realizing the low-carbon operation of the distribution network by fusing machine learning and optimization.

[0066] Based on the neural network response constraint model obtained as described above, a distribution network operation framework (Fusing Learning and Optimization for Distribution Network Operation, FLO4DNO) is proposed, which realizes carbon emission management of the distribution network by considering carbon emission constraints, processes nonlinear terms by using the Mccomick method, and proposes a FLO4DNO low-carbon operation model by combining a distribution network operation model, so as to realize distributed resource management and carbon emission management of the distribution network.

[0067] The FLO4DNO low-carbon operation framework is as shown in Figure 3 , which includes an optimization decision and a machine learning, the optimization decision provides a data basis for the machine learning, the machine learning provides a data-driven constraint model for the optimization decision, and the two parts are fused through a data generation and constraint learning process.

[0068] As shown in Figure 3 , the optimization decision part includes:

[0072] Distribution network decision, specifically including: solving the joint model of the distribution network and the neural network response constraint model to obtain the optimal scheduling scheme of the distribution network.

[0073] The constraint learning method for the distributed resource cluster is proposed for the distributed resource operation problem of the power distribution network.

[0074] With reference to the foregoing Figure 3 The machine learning part includes:

[0075] Data sampling, specifically including: collecting the response under different incentive prices by using the distributed resource cluster response model to form an offline training data set;

[0076] Model training, specifically including: based on the sampling data set, constructing a neural network model, initializing the related parameters, optimizing the model parameters with the minimum inference error as the target, and constructing the neural network-based data-driven response model;

[0079] Compared with the optimization scheduling method based on optimization or machine learning only, the constraint learning method for the distributed resource cluster is proposed based on machine learning and optimization decision, and the low-carbon energy transformation of the power system is faced. In the scenario of a large number of renewable distributed resources such as distributed photovoltaic, wind power, and energy storage accessing the power grid, a data-driven response model based on a neural network is constructed. Then, a basic framework integrating machine learning and optimization is constructed based on constraint learning.
