Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of distributed photovoltaic flexible control, and particularly to a four-layer combined flexible voltage control method for low-voltage grid connection of distributed photovoltaics. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous construction and improvement of the new power system, large-scale new energy is developed and connected to the grid. Among them, as an important part of the new energy structure, distributed photovoltaics have developed rapidly. Due to the volatility, intermittency, and uncertainty of its power generation, the large-scale grid connection of distributed photovoltaics poses a huge challenge to the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Limited by the high cost of current electrochemical energy storage, during the period of abundant sunlight, the excess power generated cannot be stored or consumed locally. If not controlled, the power generation during the peak photovoltaic power generation period will all flow into the grid, easily causing overvoltage problems, leading to the insulation aging of electrical equipment, and further affecting the safety and power supply quality of the power grid. Therefore, during the period of large-scale reverse power transmission of photovoltaics in a certain period, the measure of curtailment of light can be taken to avoid or alleviate overvoltage problems. However, this measure will directly affect the economic benefits of photovoltaic investors. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid while taking into account the economic benefits of photovoltaic investors.
[0003] When dealing with the large-scale access of photovoltaics to the distribution network, there are some deficiencies and defects in the existing technologies, such as voltage over-limit problems, unfair power distribution of distributed photovoltaics, single control strategies, high-cost energy storage requirements, insufficient prediction accuracy, and lack of flexible control means.
[0004] Currently, when large-scale photovoltaics are connected to the distribution network, the peak photovoltaic power generation period is prone to cause grid voltage over-limit problems, leading to the insulation aging of electrical equipment and affecting the safety and power supply quality of the power grid. To solve this problem, generally, methods of restricting photovoltaic power generation or installing energy storage devices are adopted to achieve the purpose of grid voltage stability. However, the existing technologies often adopt a single day-ahead control or intra-day control scheme for distributed photovoltaics, resulting in unfair power curtailment. Due to the insufficient prediction accuracy of photovoltaic output and load in the existing technologies, there are often significant deviations between the generated control scheme and the actual operating conditions. Such a control method not only has low control accuracy, wastes a large amount of photovoltaic energy, but also has a poor control effect on distributed photovoltaics. And due to the large investment cost of energy storage devices, the method of increasing energy storage devices has poor economy. Therefore, new technologies need to be proposed to solve the above problems with good economy. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above overvoltage problem caused by the large-scale access of distributed photovoltaic power generation, while taking into account the economic benefits of photovoltaic investors, the present invention provides a four-layer combined flexible voltage control method for low-voltage grid connection of distributed photovoltaic power generation, which adopts a four-layer control strategy to hierarchically regulate the photovoltaic output. By adopting multiple flexible regulations, the output of distributed photovoltaic power generation is made more stable. At the same time, it is first considered to store the excess power in water heaters, so that this part of the energy can be utilized instead of directly abandoning light, which increases the economy.
[0006] The object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions.
[0007] A four-layer combined flexible voltage control method for low-voltage grid connection of distributed photovoltaic power generation includes the following steps:

If it meets the standard, issue an instruction according to the current power generation plan and end the calculation; if it does not meet the standard, enter step S6.
[0012] S5. At this time, the reactive power consumption of the photovoltaic inverter reaches the limit value and is still insufficient to achieve the control purpose. Adjust the inverter to reduce the active power generation of the photovoltaic power generation to strive to reduce the voltage to the qualified range, judge whether the voltage of each node meets the standard, and execute the third-layer control. If it meets the standard, issue an instruction according to the current power generation plan and end the calculation; if it does not meet the standard, enter step S6.

The output of the LSTM model is the modal components corresponding to the PV output power and each user load power without flexible control. Each intrinsic mode function is learned by an LSTM model.
[0018] S1.4. Use the trained LSTM model to predict the modal components corresponding to the future PV output power and each user load power without flexible control, and then reconstruct each modal component of the prediction result back to the original signal form to obtain the PV output data and each user load power data without flexible control.

To make full use of the existing data, divide the data into a training set, a test set, and a validation set according to a set ratio; among them, the training set is used to train the LSTM model; the validation set is used to verify the generalization ability of the current LSTM model during iterative training and finally determine whether to stop further training; the test set is used to evaluate the generalization ability of the final LSTM model to ensure the reliability of the data predicted by the LSTM model.
[0022] S1.1.2. To eliminate the dimensional differences between data and accelerate the convergence speed of the LSTM model, the data is normalized and scaled to the range of [0, 1].
[0023] Further, in step S2, the specific steps are as follows:
[0024] S2.1. Calculate the voltage reference values of each node in the low-voltage distribution substation area as follows:
[0025] Use the sliding window algorithm to preprocess the voltage of each node in the low-voltage distribution substation area; calculate the average value of the voltages of each node within the time interval If the voltage of the th node does not exceed the upper limit, then use the average value of the voltage of the th node within the time interval as the first voltage reference value of the th node , where =1,2……, is the number of nodes in the distribution network, ; if the voltage of the th node exceeds the upper limit, then use the specified upper limit of voltage operation as the first voltage reference value of the th node; the formula for the first voltage reference value of the
[0026] th node is:

[0028] S2.2. Determine whether the voltage exceeds the upper limit: Compare the first voltage prediction value of each node with the first voltage reference value of each node. If the first voltage prediction value of a node is greater than the first voltage reference value, it means that the voltage of this node exceeds the upper limit; otherwise, it does not exceed the upper limit. If the voltage does not exceed the upper limit, execute step S2.3; if the voltage exceeds the upper limit, execute step S2.4;
[0029] S2.3. Set the water heater to start heating at 4:00 PM until the set temperature is reached. End the calculation.
[0030] S2.4. Subtract the PV planned output value for the day from the PV output data predicted in step S1 to obtain the PV excess power. ;
[0031] S2.5. Set the start time of the storage water heater as follows:
[0032] Compare the voltage characteristic curve obtained in step S1 with the first voltage reference value to obtain the time period when the voltage exceeds the upper limit; the water heater is set to start heating during the time period when the voltage exceeds the upper limit, and in principle, it does not heat during other time periods.
[0033] S2.6. Calculate the adjustment capacity of the storage water heater:
[0034] Assume that the storage water heater stops heating immediately after the hot water temperature reaches the set temperature Then the maximum total power consumption of the storage water heater The calculation formula is as follows:
[0035] ;
[0036] Where, Represents the specific heat capacity of water, Represents the total capacity of the water to be heated in the water heater tank, Represents the initial temperature of the water in the tank, Represents the number of storage water heaters in the low-voltage distribution substation area;
[0037] S2.7. Compare the maximum total power consumption of the storage water heater With the PV excess electrical energy within the time interval :
[0038] ;
[0039] If , that is, the PV excess electrical energy is not enough to heat the water in the water heater to the set temperature , then the storage water heater still needs to consume additional power For heating; after the time period when the voltage exceeds the upper limit ends, the storage water heater continues to heat at a constant operating power For a period of time , The calculation formula of
[0040] ;
[0041] Among them, is the operating power when the storage water heater continues to heat during the overvoltage end period. After setting the time required for continuous heating the operation is ended;
[0042] If , that is, if the storage water heater exactly completely absorbs the surplus active power during the overvoltage period, the calculation is ended and no next-level control is required;
[0043] If , that is, if the power consumption of the storage water heater has reached the threshold but the surplus photovoltaic power has not been completely consumed, the inverter reactive power optimization regulation mode of the next-level control needs to be started; at this time, the water heater heats to the set temperature at a constant operating power ; after the first-level control, the surplus photovoltaic power The calculation formula is as follows:
[0044] .
[0045] Furthermore, in step S3, when the storage water heater cannot completely absorb the surplus photovoltaic power, the inverter active and reactive powers are adjusted to try to reduce the voltage to the qualified range, and the power regulation mode of the photovoltaic power station is calculated and determined. The specific steps are as follows:
[0046] S3.1. Based on the user load power data predicted in step S1 and the surplus photovoltaic power calculated in step S2 , a new power flow calculation is performed to obtain the second voltage prediction value of each node in the low-voltage distribution substation area , is the number of nodes in the distribution network, =1,2……, ; the second voltage reference value of each node is recalculated according to step S2.1 ;
[0047] S3.2. According to step S2.5, it can be seen that at this time, there must be a node voltage exceeding the upper limit. Determine the node with the highest second voltage prediction value calculated in step S3.1 as the leading node, and the leading node number is ; the pre-adjustment value of the leading node voltage is:

[0059] If entering the reactive power + active power reduction mode, execute step S5; if entering the reactive power regulation mode, execute step S4.
[0060] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S3.4 are as follows:
[0061] S3.4.1: Use the historical data of the distributed photovoltaic output and the historical data of the load power of each user to perform a power flow calculation to obtain the historical injection power and historical voltage data of each node, and use the non-linear least squares method to fit the mapping relationship between the historical injection power and historical voltage data of each node;

[0065] Furthermore, in step S4, increasing the reactive power consumption of the inverter can reduce the voltage to the qualified range, and the power generation plan is calculated. The specific steps are as follows:
[0066] S4.1. Subtract the second voltage prediction value of the grid-connected node of each PV power station obtained in step S3.1 from the second voltage reference value, and combine them to obtain the voltage error matrix , at this time, the active power of the power station remains unchanged, so the active power change matrix of the PV power station ; Extract the voltage-reactive power sensitivity synthesis matrix between the grid-connected nodes of the PV power station , and we can get:

[0072] S4.3. Add a clipping function. If exceeds the first maximum reactive power output of the PV power station, then issue the reactive power output plan with ; The present invention performs in-day regulation on the basis of a day-ahead power generation plan. At this time, each power station generates active power according to the day-ahead power generation plan, and only needs to change the reactive power output. The first reactive power output plan of the th PV power station at time is:
[0073] ;
[0074] S4.4. Perform power flow calculation on the distribution network to obtain the third voltage prediction value of each node of the distribution network after each power station executes according to the current power generation plan, and update the third voltage reference value ; Calculate the voltage deviation of the distribution network and :

[0076] S4.5. Determine whether the voltage of each node in the distribution network is up to standard. If And the third voltage prediction of all nodes Are all less than Then the node voltage of the distribution network is up to standard. Then, issue an instruction according to the current power generation plan and end the calculation. Indicates the allowable voltage deviation range, and its setting needs to be determined according to the actual situation and requirements of the power system; if the node voltage of the distribution network is not up to standard, update the photovoltaic power generation power to the current power generation plan, keep the active power output plan unchanged, and update the reactive power output plan to the first reactive power output plan , Fit the voltage sensitivity matrix between current nodes And , Execute step S6 and enter the reactive + active power regulation mode.
[0077] Furthermore, in step S5, when the reactive power consumption of the photovoltaic inverter reaches the limit value and still cannot achieve the control purpose, adjust the inverter to reduce the active power of photovoltaic power generation and strive to reduce the voltage of each node in the low-voltage distribution area to the qualified range. The specific steps are as follows:
[0078] S5.1. If the photovoltaic active power is restricted, the maximum adjustable amount of reactive power will change accordingly; calculate the second maximum output reactive power Of the Th :
[0079] ;
[0080] S5.2. Output reactive power according to To maximize the utilization of the photovoltaic power station capacity, then the change amount of output reactive power Is:

[0090] In the formula, is an unknown variable that varies between [0, 1), and the rest are constants. After simplification, a quadratic equation of can be obtained, and has a unique solution within the variation range;
[0091] S5.4. After obtaining , the active power output plan and the second reactive power output plan of each photovoltaic power station are specifically as follows:
[0092] ;
[0093] S5.5. Perform a power flow calculation on the distribution network to obtain the fourth voltage prediction value of each node in the distribution network after each photovoltaic power station executes according to the current power generation plan;
[0094] S5.6. Judge whether the voltage of each node meets the standard; in the active power curtailment mode, if the fourth voltage prediction value of each node is less than , then the voltage of the distribution network nodes meets the standard, and an instruction is issued according to the current power generation plan to end the calculation; if the voltage of the distribution network nodes does not meet the standard, then update the photovoltaic power generation power to the current power generation plan, update the active power output plan to , update the reactive power output plan to the second reactive power output plan , fit the current voltage sensitivity matrix and , execute step S6, and enter the next layer of asymmetric grouping intelligent switch control.
[0095] Further, in step S6, since the control of the first three layers has not achieved the goal at this time, a strategy of partially disconnecting PV power generation for voltage control is adopted. By tripping the externally connected asymmetric grouped intelligent switch, the reverse power flow of PV active power is forcibly reduced to mitigate the voltage rise, specifically as follows:
[0096] Most traditional intelligent switches are only equipped with one switch, and when overvoltage occurs, they can only reduce the voltage by adopting the method of 100% light curtailment, resulting in a large amount of wasted light energy. The present invention proposes to configure a flexible control switch terminal in front of each PV user meter, with 2 groups of switches. One group has a breaking capacity of 1 / 3, and the other group has a breaking capacity of 2 / 3. Light curtailment is initiated when the control effects of the water heater and PV inverter in the first three layers of control have not reduced the substation area voltage below the allowable upper limit.
[0097] Further, the specific steps of step S6 are as follows:
[0098] S6.1. First, the edge intelligent terminal issues an instruction to the flexible control switch terminals at each user end to uniformly trip the first flexible control switches with a breaking capacity of 1 / 3 for each user, fairly requiring all PV users to uniformly curtail 1 / 3 of the light. If the voltage at each node returns to the normal state, it is maintained for a period of time until the voltage at each node continues to drop by a set amount, and then the first flexible control switch is re-closed to avoid unnecessary light curtailment, and the calculation ends. According to the and instructions calculated in step S5.6 are issued, otherwise step S6.2 is executed;
[0099] S6.2. At this time, if the first flexible control switches with a breaking capacity of 1 / 3 fail to solve the problem of voltage exceeding the upper limit, then switch to uniformly tripping the second flexible control switches with a breaking capacity of 2 / 3 for each user, fairly requiring all PV users to uniformly curtail 2 / 3 of the light. If the voltage at each node returns to the normal state, it is maintained for a period of time until the voltage at each node continues to drop by a set amount, and then the second flexible control switch is re-closed to avoid unnecessary light curtailment, and the calculation ends. According to the and instructions calculated in step S5.6 are issued, otherwise step S6.3 is executed;
[0100] S6.3. At this time, if there is still a node voltage exceeding the upper limit, then both the first flexible control switch and the second flexible control switch are tripped. According to the and instructions calculated in step S5.6 are issued, and the calculation ends. Of course, this scenario generally rarely occurs.
[0101] Compared with the existing traditional switches, this method adds a group of switches, but when the voltage exceeds the upper limit, it can reduce a large amount of light curtailment compared with the configuration method of a single group of switches, and it is a more user-acceptable "flexible" control method.
[0102] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0103] By introducing a four-layer combined flexible voltage control strategy, the present invention solves the deficiencies of the prior art; firstly, a day-ahead power generation plan for distributed photovoltaic is obtained, and a coordinated control strategy integrating "day-ahead control" and "intra-day real-time regulation" is further proposed. Such a control strategy can effectively respond to emergencies encountered during the operation of photovoltaic and modify the regulation plan in a timely manner, improving the flexibility and accuracy of regulation; by introducing flexible loads and asymmetric grouping intelligent switches, making full use of existing energy storage resources and inverters, minimizing curtailment of light as much as possible, achieving fair distribution of active power based on the relative capacity and generated power of each distributed photovoltaic, and avoiding a large increase in investment in hardware equipment, with good economic efficiency.
[0104] The present invention is optimized from the perspective of ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid, can effectively solve the problem of over-voltage limit caused by large-scale grid connection of distributed photovoltaic, improve the power supply quality of new distribution substations, while minimizing curtailment of light as much as possible and ensuring the economic benefits of photovoltaic investors.

[0174] S5. At this time, the reactive power consumption of the photovoltaic inverter reaches the limit value but is still insufficient to achieve the control purpose. The inverter is adjusted to reduce the active power of photovoltaic power generation in an effort to reduce the voltage to a qualified range. The voltage of each node is judged to be up to standard.

[0175] At this point, the reactive power consumption of the PV inverter has reached the limit, but it is still insufficient to achieve the control purpose. The inverter is adjusted to reduce the active power of PV power generation in an effort to reduce the voltage of each node in the low-voltage distribution station area to an acceptable range.

[0187] ;
[0188] In the formula, is an unknown variable that varies between [0, 1), and the rest are all constants. After simplification, a quadratic equation of can be obtained, and has a unique solution within the variation range;
[0189] S5.4. After obtaining , the active power output plan and the second reactive power output plan of each PV power station are specifically as follows:
[0190] ;
[0191] S5.5. Perform power flow calculation on the distribution network to obtain the fourth voltage prediction value of each node in the distribution network after each PV power station executes according to the current power generation plan ;
[0192] S5.6. Determine whether the voltage of each node meets the standard; in the active power reduction mode, if the fourth voltage prediction value of each node is less than then the voltage of the distribution network nodes meets the standard, issue an instruction according to the current power generation plan, and end the calculation; if the voltage of the distribution network nodes does not meet the standard, then update the photovoltaic power generation power to the current power generation plan, update the active power output plan to , update the reactive power output plan to the second reactive power output plan , fit the current voltage sensitivity matrix between each node and , execute step S6, and enter the control of the next layer of asymmetric grouped intelligent switches.
[0193] S6. Execute the fourth layer of control, and forcefully reduce the photovoltaic active power by tripping the asymmetric grouped intelligent switches until the voltage drops below the allowable upper limit;
[0194] At this time, the control of the first three layers has not achieved the goal, adopt the strategy of partially cutting off the power of photovoltaic power generation, and forcefully reduce the voltage rise caused by the reverse power transmission of photovoltaic active power by tripping the externally connected asymmetric grouped intelligent switches, as follows:
[0195] Most traditional intelligent switches are only equipped with one switch, and when the voltage is too high, they can only reduce the voltage by means of 100% light abandonment, resulting in a large waste of light energy. The present invention proposes to configure a flexible control switch terminal in front of each photovoltaic user meter, configure 2 groups of switches, one group with a breaking capacity of 1 / 3 and the other group with a breaking capacity of 2 / 3, and start light abandonment when the control effects of the water storage type electric water heater and the photovoltaic inverter in the control of the first three layers have not reduced the substation area voltage below the allowable upper limit.
[0196] The specific steps of step S6 are as follows:
[0197] S6.1. First, the edge intelligent terminal issues an instruction to the flexible control switch terminals of each user end, and uniformly trips the first flexible control switches with a breaking capacity of 1 / 3 of each user, fairly requiring all photovoltaic users to uniformly abandon 1 / 3 of the light. If the voltage of each node returns to the normal state, maintain it for a period of time until the voltage of each node continues to drop by a set amount and then close the first flexible control switch again to avoid unnecessary light abandonment, end the calculation, and issue an instruction according to and calculated in step S5.6, otherwise execute step S6.2;
[0198] S6.2. If the first flexible control switch with a breaking capacity of 1 / 3 fails to solve the problem of voltage exceeding the upper limit at this time, then replace it with the second flexible control switch that uniformly trips each user with a breaking capacity of 2 / 3, and fairly require all PV users to uniformly abandon 2 / 3 of the light. If the voltage at each node returns to the normal state, maintain it for a period of time until the voltage at each node continues to drop by a set amount, and then reconnect the second flexible control switch to avoid unnecessary light abandonment, end the calculation, and issue the and issued instructions, otherwise execute step S6.3;
[0199] S6.3. If there is still a node voltage exceeding the upper limit at this time, then both the first flexible control switch and the second flexible control switch are tripped, and issue the and issued instructions to end the calculation. Of course, this scenario generally rarely occurs.
[0200] Compared with the existing traditional switches, this method adds a group of switches, but it can reduce a large amount of light abandonment compared with the configuration method of a single group of switches when the voltage exceeds the upper limit, and it is a more user-acceptable "flexible" control method.
[0201] In one embodiment, a power system network architecture as shown in Figure 3 is used for simulation analysis. The low-voltage distribution network includes 14 nodes (9 load nodes and 5 power supply nodes), 20 branches, and 3 transformers. Among them, the first node 1, the second node 2, and the third node 3 are connected to PV generating sets, corresponding to the first PV power station 1, the second PV power station 2, and the third PV power station 3 respectively. At the same time, to simulate the impact of other power generation methods on the power system, a thermal power generating set and a hydropower generating set are connected to the sixth node 6 and the eighth node 8 respectively, and the remaining nodes are all load nodes. The system base capacity is 150 MVA, and the node types include PV nodes and PQ nodes.
[0202] Set three low-voltage distribution network operation scenarios. In scenario 1, the actual value of PV power generation is 1.1 times the day-ahead prediction value, and the actual value of the load is 0.9 times the day-ahead prediction value; in scenario 2, the actual value of PV power generation is 1.3 times the day-ahead prediction value, and the actual value of the load is 0.8 times the day-ahead prediction value; the actual value of PV power generation is 1.4 times the day-ahead prediction value, and the actual value of the load is 0.7 times the day-ahead prediction value. All three scenarios are verified by simulation at 13:00 noon.
[0203] For Scenario 1, since neither the actual PV output nor the load exceeds the predicted values by much, the timed regulation mode of the water storage type electric water heater can be used to control the voltage within an appropriate range. Therefore, the reactive power regulation mode and the active power curtailment mode do not need to be considered. Two solutions are set for simulation comparison, namely, the PV power station shuts down when the voltage exceeds the upper limit and only the timed regulation of the water storage type electric water heater. The specific implementation of the two solutions is as follows:
[0204] Solution 1: Take extreme measures. During the peak power generation period (from 10:00 am to 15:00 pm), the overvoltage protection acts and the power station shuts down to ensure that the grid connection point voltage is within the safe range. The power station attempts to restart after 1 minute. If the voltage still exceeds the upper limit, it continues to shut down.
[0205] Solution 2: Adopt the timed regulation mode of the water storage type electric water heater. According to the overall operation data within the PRMC of the distribution network, formulate a timed regulation plan for the water storage type electric water heater and issue instructions to the control center of the water storage type electric water heater for execution.
[0206] The voltage quality evaluation indicators of each control scheme are shown in the following table. Among them, r Q represents the voltage qualification rate, D D represents the voltage discrete degree, and Watt% and Var% respectively represent the ratios of the total active power and reactive power injected by the PV power station in the distribution network to the maximum available active power and reactive power. Comparing the evaluation indicators under the two control schemes with the results without control, the voltage qualification rate reaches 100%, and the voltage discrete degree decreases. Compared with Solution 1, for Solution 2, the actual total output of the PV power station is 100%, the total reactive power output of the power station is 25.42%, and the voltage discrete degree of the distribution network is reduced by 11.31%, significantly improving the voltage quality. The example results show that when only a small part of the PV output is excessive, adopting the timed regulation mode of the water storage type electric water heater can better solve the voltage quality problem and ensure the safe and stable operation of the system.
[0207] Table 1 Voltage Quality Evaluation Table for Scenario 1
[0208]
[0209] In Scenario 2, the PV output is excessive to a certain extent, and the situation of the voltage exceeding the upper limit is more serious than that in Scenario 1. Three solutions are set for simulation comparison, namely, the PV power station shuts down when the voltage exceeds the upper limit, only the timed regulation of the water storage type electric water heater, and the timed regulation of the water storage type electric water heater + reactive power regulation mode. The specific implementation of the three solutions is as follows:
[0210] Solution 3: When the voltage at the grid connection node of the PV power station exceeds the upper limit, the power station shuts down. The voltages at the grid connection nodes of the first PV power station 1, the second PV power station 2, and the third PV power station 3 did not exceed the upper limit during the simulation period, and all generated electricity at the maximum power.
[0211] Solution 4: Only implement the timed adjustment mode of the storage water heater. Due to limited adjustment ability, the storage water heater heats at a certain power at each moment and cannot consume all the remaining PV capacity. Calculate the voltage distribution after the water heater consumption and compare it with other solutions.
[0212] Solution 5: Implement the combined operation mode of timed adjustment and reactive power adjustment of the storage water heater. According to the previous method, when the ability of the water heater to consume PV reaches the limit, start the reactive power adjustment mode, re - formulate the PV power generation plan, and issue commands to the PV inverter control center for execution, thereby adjusting the system reactive power.
[0213] The following table lists the voltage quality and power distribution evaluation indicators of the distribution network under different control solutions in Scenario 2. Under Solution 3, when the voltage exceeds the upper limit, the PV power station shuts down, and the PV curtailment rate is as high as 43.87%, with too low economic benefits and is not considered. Compared with Solution 4, in Solution 5, not only does the active power output of the PV reach 100%, but there is no voltage exceeding the upper limit throughout the period, the reactive power output exceeds 50%, and the voltage deviation degree is reduced by 18.68%, meeting the basic requirements of voltage quality and achieving full consumption of PV output. The example results show that when there is a certain degree of excess PV output, only using the timed adjustment of the storage water heater cannot fully consume it. At this time, a reactive power adjustment mode can be added to achieve full consumption of PV output within the reactive power adjustment range of the inverter and ensure voltage quality.
[0214] Table 2 Voltage Quality Evaluation Table for Scenario 2
[0215]
[0216] In Scenario 3, there is a large excess of PV output, and the voltage exceeding the upper limit situation is relatively serious. A total of three solutions are set for simulation comparison, namely, the PV power station shuts down when the voltage exceeds the upper limit, the timed adjustment of the storage water heater + reactive power adjustment mode, and the timed adjustment of the storage water heater + reactive power adjustment mode + active power curtailment mode. The specific implementation of the three solutions is as follows:
[0217] Solution 6: When the grid connection node of the PV power station exceeds the upper limit, the power station shuts down. The grid connection nodes of the first PV power station 1, the second PV power station 2, and the third PV power station 3 did not exceed the upper limit during the simulation period, and all generated electricity at the maximum power.
[0218] Scenario 7: Implement an operation mode that combines the timed regulation of a storage water heater with reactive power regulation. According to the method described above, when the ability of the water heater to absorb photovoltaic power reaches its limit, activate the reactive power regulation mode, re - formulate the photovoltaic power generation plan, and issue an order to the photovoltaic inverter control center for execution, thereby regulating the reactive power of the system. Since the reactive power regulation ability of the inverter is limited, calculate the voltage distribution after the reactive power regulation ability reaches the maximum regulation margin and compare it with other scenarios.
[0219] Scenario 8: Implement an operation mode that combines the timed regulation of a storage water heater with reactive power regulation and active power curtailment. When the ability of the inverter to regulate reactive power reaches its limit, activate the active power curtailment mode, re - formulate the photovoltaic power generation plan, and issue an order to the photovoltaic inverter control center for execution, and achieve the voltage quality requirements by curtailing some active power.
[0220] The following table lists the voltage quality and power distribution evaluation indicators of the distribution network under different control scenarios in Scenario 3. Under Scenario 6, when the voltage exceeds the upper limit, the photovoltaic power station shuts down, and the curtailment rate of the photovoltaic power station is as high as 49.89%, and the economic benefit is too low to be considered. Compared with Scenario 7, although Scenario 8 fails to fully absorb photovoltaic power, it ensures the voltage quality, reduces the voltage deviation by 26.42%, and better reduces the voltage fluctuation risk. The calculation example results show that the proposed power optimization strategy makes full use of the reactive power regulation function of the power station. After the reactive power regulation amount of the photovoltaic power station reaches the threshold, it coordinates the control of the active and reactive power of the power station and improves the voltage quality of the photovoltaic grid - connection point.
