Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power distribution system technology, and in particular to a microgrid group planning method and apparatus for improving the reliability of low-voltage power distribution systems. Background Technology
[0002] Driven by the development of new elements and new business models in power generation and load, a large number of distributed power sources have developed rapidly, and the demand for different types of loads is also growing rapidly. Distributed power sources, represented by wind and solar power, are characterized by volatility and intermittency, which, together with the rapidly growing load demand, bring a dual challenge to the safe operation of the distribution network.
[0003] Currently, microgrids effectively aggregate large-load users in close proximity and connect them to the end of the distribution network by integrating geographically adjacent distributed power sources, achieving cascaded energy utilization and improving the local consumption rate of new energy. Simultaneously, optimized microgrid configuration can improve the self-sufficiency rate of electricity within its jurisdiction, reduce the overall electricity demand of the microgrid, and thus alleviate the pressure on the distribution network. However, the growth in load is accompanied by an increase in the proportion of DC load, with a large number of DC loads, represented by electric vehicles, being connected to new distribution networks. Traditional microgrids, using AC microgrid structures, require significant investment in converters to cope with the large increase in DC load, resulting in a substantial decrease in their economic efficiency and reliability.

The active power balance degree can be calculated by the ratio of the overall power demand of the microgrid cluster to the maximum power demand during the entire planning period. Based on the node coupling degree and the active power balance degree, an accurate node partitioning objective function can be constructed.
[0083] Furthermore, the node partitioning constraints include:

[0090] As described above, by establishing a microgrid cluster islanding probability calculation model, it can be used to verify and analyze whether the power supply of the microgrid cluster formed after dividing the nodes is reliable. By simulating the operation scenario of the microgrid cluster, the operation status of the microgrid cluster is constructed, thereby calculating the microgrid cluster islanding probability.

[0165] In the formula: 8760 is the equivalent total duration in one year, i.e., 365 × 24; N is the total number of users in the system load; U l denoted as the number of users experiencing power outages during the l-th model run; T represents the duration of the fault.
[0166] S5. The minimum cost objective function of the microgrid and the microgrid operation constraints are used as the lower-level planning model, and the islanding probability calculation model is used as the constraint condition for solving the lower-level planning model to obtain the power demand of each microgrid. Its objective function needs to pursue economy, but it needs to be constrained by the islanding probability threshold of the microgrid group. The islanding probability threshold constraint is used as the planning constraint to achieve a balance between the economy and reliability of microgrid group planning. Based on the planning results, the power demand of each microgrid group is calculated and passed to the upper-level model. Specifically:
[0167] Based on the microgrid minimum cost objective function established in step S2 and the microgrid operation constraints, the lower-level planning model is obtained, and an islanding probability threshold constraint is introduced. The planned microgrid group needs to satisfy the islanding probability threshold constraint as follows:
[0168] ASAI≥ASAI lower ;
[0169] In the formula: ASAI lower This is the lower bound for the probability of becoming an isolated island, set based on experience.
[0170] S6. The upper-layer partitioning model re-partitions nodes based on the power demand of each microgrid, obtaining a second node partitioning result. It then determines whether the second node partitioning result is consistent with the first node partitioning result. If not, it returns to step S3; if so, it obtains the investment cost of the second microgrid group based on the power demand of each microgrid. This step verifies the upper-layer model. After verifying the correctness of the partitioning, the upper-layer model calculates the node voltage based on the power demand transmitted from the lower layer and re-partitions the nodes. Specifically:
[0171] The upper-level partitioning model uses mathematical tools such as MATPOWER to perform power flow verification and calculate the voltage of each node based on the grid structure. It then re-partitions the nodes according to the method in step S3. If the result is consistent with the previous partitioning, step S7 is executed; otherwise, it returns to S3. This step realizes the interactive coupling between the upper-level partitioning model (node partitioning model) and the lower-level partitioning model (microgrid group planning model). The upper-level partitioning model is the basis of the lower-level partitioning model, but the power demand obtained from the microgrid group planning result will be used as the boundary condition for the upper-level node partitioning. Therefore, after the lower-level model finishes solving, it passes the calculated active power demand to the upper level. Based on the power demand passed from the lower level, the upper-level model performs power flow calculation based on the distribution network structure to obtain the voltage of each node and re-partitions the nodes.
[0172] S7. Determine if the investment cost of the first microgrid group is greater than the investment cost of the second microgrid group. If yes, the microgrid group is considered to have effective gains and the solution ends; otherwise, return to step S5 and use the investment cost of the first microgrid group as an upper limit constraint. That is, this step proposes a standard for calculating the effectiveness of microgrid group enhancement, which is used to analyze and compare the configuration costs of each microgrid in the scenario in step S2 without considering microgrid group division with the microgrid group configuration costs in step S6. After effectiveness determination, if the microgrid group has effective gains, the planning is considered to have obtained the optimal solution. The specific effectiveness calculation standard is as follows:
[0173]
[0174] In the formula: f MG-clu(s) The planned investment cost of microgrid cluster s is the investment cost of the first microgrid cluster. The investment cost of microgrid m, which belongs to microgrid cluster s, is the sum of the investment costs of the second microgrid cluster. This formula shows that microgrids can reduce the overall planning cost after forming a microgrid cluster.

When the processor executes the computer program, it implements the various steps in the microgrid group planning method for improving the reliability of low-voltage power distribution systems as described in Embodiment 1.
[0177] In summary, this invention provides a microgrid group planning method and apparatus for improving the reliability of low-voltage power distribution systems. Its core idea is to establish a two-layer optimization planning model for microgrid groups to enhance the reliability of low-voltage power distribution systems: the upper layer constructs a distribution network node partitioning model, and the lower layer contains a microgrid group optimization configuration model. The two layers interact through the power demand of the microgrid group. Specifically, the upper distribution network layer considers node coupling and active power balance, establishing a node partitioning model; the lower microgrid group layer, in order to improve the energy self-consumption rate within the microgrid and maximize microgrid autonomy, constructs a microgrid islanding probability and a microgrid group gain effectiveness criterion based on the Monte Carlo method as planning constraints, and considers the AC / DC characteristics of the source load during the optimization planning process; then, an effective gain judgment criterion for microgrid group planning is established, and the effectiveness of the microgrid group planning scheme is judged after the upper and lower layers have converged iteratively. The microgrid cluster partitioning model established by the two-layer planning method of this invention can achieve a high degree of autonomy for microgrid clusters, thereby effectively improving the reliability of low-voltage power distribution systems. Compared with existing AC microgrids, it can effectively reduce investment costs and provide a valid reference for the planning and design of new power distribution networks with multiple microgrids. Furthermore, traditional AC microgrids require significant investment in converters to meet load growth demands, while the AC / DC hybrid planning model proposed in this patent improves the economic efficiency of microgrid planning while also meeting load growth requirements.
