Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power system planning, and particularly to a method for planning the secondary system of an active distribution network. Background Art

[0002] With the transformation of the energy structure and the promotion of sustainable development, the penetration rate of new energy in the power system is continuously increasing. As an important part of the power system, the active distribution network not only needs to accept the electric energy of traditional energy sources but also adapt to the access of new energy sources, such as distributed energy sources like wind energy and solar energy. This high-penetration access of new energy poses new challenges to the operation and control of the distribution network, especially in the planning and management of the secondary system. The secondary system of the distribution network covers key technologies such as protection, control, automation, and communication, which are crucial for ensuring the safe, stable, and economic operation of the power grid.

[0003] However, the existing methods for planning the secondary system of the distribution network fail to fully consider the characteristics of different power supply areas, such as the differences in key parameters like short-circuit capacity, power supply radius, load rate, new energy access points, and access capacity. This results in the difficulty of accurately adapting the fault handling configuration scheme to the needs of each area and the inability to achieve refined management of the fault handling strategy. In terms of differential deployment, the existing technologies ignore the differential requirements of different power supply areas for distribution terminals and fail to carry out reasonable zonal deployment in combination with the regional development plan, leading to unreasonable resource allocation, over-investment in some areas, and insufficient equipment in other areas with higher demands, affecting power supply reliability and service quality.

[0004] In summary, the existing methods for planning the secondary system of the distribution network have obvious defects in terms of differentiation and differential deployment and cannot meet the development needs of high-penetration active distribution networks. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an innovative method for planning the secondary system that can deeply analyze the characteristics of each power supply area and formulate targeted differential fault handling configuration schemes and zonal deployment strategies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to make up for the deficiencies of the existing technology and provide a method for planning the secondary system of an active distribution network. It can optimize the timing coordination relationship of distribution network protection, safety automatic devices, new energy control, and distribution automation through a fault handling coordination cooperation scheme, and more precisely control the fault handling process through the coordination cooperation scheme of stage overcurrent protection and main transformer gap protection, reduce the interference to the power grid operation, and improve the adaptability of the power grid to the volatility of new energy.

[0024]

[0025] where: k = 1, 2,.., N, N is the number of sampling scenarios; i = 1, 2,.., T, T is the simulation duration; ΔT is the simulation step size; L i,k is the system load retention in the i-th simulation step under the k-th sampling scenario; L z is the total system load; L s,min,k is the minimum retention of important loads under the k-th sampling scenario; L s,z is the total amount of important loads in the system; R re,k is the recovery speed index under the k-th scenario; α is the weight of the recovery speed; Using a coefficient of 0.5 can control the resilience evaluation results within a certain range;

[0027]

[0028] where f(t) is the recovery rate function of time t. Assuming that the power grid has different recovery rates in different recovery stages, f(t) is estimated using a piecewise linear model. The formula is as follows:

[0029]

[0030] Among them, c1, c2... c n are different recovery rates at different recovery stages, and c1, c2... c n can be obtained through measurement;

[0031] The weight α can be adjusted according to the risk preference and strategy of the grid operator.

[0032] Furthermore, the formulation of the S200 differential fault handling configuration scheme proposes an overall configuration scheme and a differential design scheme for active distribution network fault handling according to the differences between the main and distribution networks to meet the specific needs of different power supply areas.

[0043] Furthermore, the active distribution secondary system is used for all technologies and equipment to achieve grid monitoring, control, protection, and automation functions, and the components included are:

[0044] Distribution network protection device: Used to detect grid faults and quickly act to isolate the fault area;

[0051] Furthermore, medium- and low-voltage lines should be equipped with circuit breakers, grid terminals and other equipment at the cable line main trunk line inlets and outlets, overhead line main trunk line sections and branches, user demarcation points, reactive power compensation and other positions according to the requirements of fault handling and dispatching control. The application of integrated primary and secondary pole-mounted switches is promoted for overhead lines. The S303 cluster analysis and function requirement matching uses clustering techniques for the function expansion and optimization path exploration of medium- and low-voltage terminals. The medium- and low-voltage terminals include main trunk line terminals, protection configuration terminals, branch terminals and user terminals. For the medium- and low-voltage terminal T, that is, T = {t1, t2, …, t n}, where each terminal t i is represented as a feature vector Xi = x i1 , x i2 , …, x im , where m is the number of features. For the set of application scenarios S = {s1, s2, …, s k}, each scenario s j has a corresponding weight W j . Define the distance i between the terminal t j and the scenario s D ij as the distance between the terminal t i and the scenario s j . Let w jl be the weight of the scenario s j for the feature l, and μ jl be the average value of the feature l in the scenario s j . Based on the distance metric, the objective function of the clustering problem is defined as Find C = {C1, C2, …, C k} such that j is minimized, where C j is the set of terminals belonging to the scenario s j . After completing the clustering, determine the function expansion direction and priority of each category according to the functional characteristics shared by the terminals in each category.

[0052] Further, the specific steps of S400 are as follows:

[0053] S401, Requirement collection and analysis: Collect detailed information on different power supply areas, including geographical distribution, load characteristics, network structure, and new energy access situation, and analyze the specific requirements for distribution terminals in these areas, including data acquisition frequency, communication bandwidth, and real-time control capabilities;

The strategies consider the type, quantity, location of the terminals and the design of the communication network. For commercial areas with high load density, use higher-performance terminals and stronger communication capabilities.

[0056] S404, Economic benefit evaluation: Conduct a cost-benefit analysis for each deployment strategy. The evaluation includes the total cost of terminal procurement cost, installation cost, operation and maintenance cost, and potential savings, that is, the total cost including reducing the fault recovery time and reducing energy waste. Through the life cycle cost evaluation model LCC, obtain the long-term economic benefits of each strategy;

[0058] S406, Implementation and Monitoring: Implement the finally determined differential zoning deployment strategy. During the implementation process, establish a monitoring mechanism, regularly collect terminal operation data, and evaluate the actual effect of the strategy to facilitate timely adjustment and optimization.

[0059] Furthermore, the S401 economic benefit evaluation is used to analyze and optimize the function expansion and deployment strategy of medium and low voltage terminals, identify the plan that minimizes the total cost, and consider economic benefits and return on investment. Including the total cost C, total revenue B, and economic benefit E, then C includes the terminal procurement cost C p and the installation cost C i and the operation and maintenance cost C o ; B includes the potential savings brought by terminal deployment, that is, reducing the fault recovery time B f and reducing energy waste B e , the specific costs and revenues are: C = C p + C i + C o , B = B f + B e . Introduce the index I of the increased revenue ratio brought by unit cost. R j is the potential revenue of the j-th area, S j is the power supply importance weight of the j-th area, which can be determined according to factors such as load density and user satisfaction. C j is the deployment cost of the j-th area. Combining with the increased revenue ratio index I, its economic benefit evaluation is E innovative = I × E. Accurately estimate the cost of each function expansion plan through calculation, including direct costs such as hardware procurement and software development, and indirect costs such as training and maintenance. Comprehensively evaluate the economic benefits that the expanded terminal can bring, so as to determine the most ideal expansion strategy.

[0061] Compared with the prior art, the method for planning the secondary system of an active distribution network has the following beneficial effects:

[0062] First, through a detailed analysis of the impact of new energy access, the present invention designs targeted protection logics and coordinated control strategies, which can accurately identify and quickly isolate the fault area under different positions and types of loads, avoid the spread of faults, and reduce the power outage time of users in non-fault areas;

[0064] Third, by defining differential resilience indicators to quantitatively calculate the fault handling capabilities of each region, the evaluation results are more objective and accurate, can analyze the specific conditions of each region in more detail, and comprehensively consider multiple factors such as system load retention, minimum retention of important loads, and restoration speed during calculation, introduce the weight of the restoration speed, increase the flexibility and accuracy of the evaluation, and can guide the optimal allocation of resources in different regions through the evaluation results, improve the resilience and reliability of the overall system, better prepare for and respond to possible emergencies, and reduce the impact of faults on the system;

[0065] Fourth, through a detailed in-depth analysis of regional characteristics, the present invention accurately evaluates the requirements of each power supply area for fault handling capabilities, and accordingly formulates a differential fault handling configuration plan. This method avoids the one-size-fits-all configuration method in all regions, but flexibly adjusts the protection settings and optimizes the equipment layout according to the characteristics of different regions, ensuring the effective utilization of resources;

[0066] V. The present invention comprehensively considers multiple dimensions such as the terminal procurement cost, installation cost, operation and maintenance cost, and potential savings, accurately calculates the long-term economic benefits of each deployment strategy, helps to select the plan with the highest cost-effectiveness ratio, improves the resource utilization efficiency, reduces the overall cost, increases the economic benefits of the power company, and at the same time provides more cost-effective services for users.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0072] Embodiment 1

Based on the collected data, deeply analyze the fault characteristics of different power supply areas, covering aspects such as fault types, occurrence frequencies, and durations. At the same time, deeply explore the performance bottlenecks and adaptability of existing fault handling equipment. According to the unique characteristics of the power supply area, creatively design exclusive fault handling configuration plans, such as flexibly adjusting protection settings, scientifically optimizing equipment layouts, and reasonably adding intelligent control units. Comprehensively evaluate the economic efficiency and feasibility of different configuration plans, and carefully formulate a complete emergency response plan, including accurate fault early warning, efficient rapid isolation, and intelligent automatic recovery strategies. Steadily implement the differential fault handling configuration plan in the selected power supply area, conduct rigorous simulation tests and on-site experiments, and comprehensively verify the effectiveness and safety of the plan. Precisely adjust the plan according to the test results to effectively ensure the ability to handle various complex fault situations in actual operation.

For areas with a high load rate, the configuration of standby power supply equipment can be increased, and protection settings can be optimized to improve the response speed. Simulation tests can simulate various extreme fault situations, such as the occurrence of multiple faults simultaneously or the situation when the new energy output fluctuates greatly, to test the reliability of the plan.

[0085] This embodiment covers all aspects of the secondary system planning of the active distribution network, from fault handling coordination to terminal function expansion and deployment strategy formulation, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the distribution network. Through detailed analysis, testing, and evaluation, this method can effectively address the challenges brought by the high penetration of new energy, improve the system response speed and processing efficiency, and at the same time maximize economic benefits.

[0086] Embodiment 2

[0087] This embodiment aims to describe in detail a method for secondary system planning of an active distribution network. By clustering and analyzing the characteristics of different power supply areas, achieve refined management of fault handling strategies, quickly and accurately identify and isolate power grid faults, and use economic benefit assessment to optimize resource allocation, improving the economy and reliability of power grid operation.

[0088] In the specific implementation, first, analyze the impact of new energy access on the fault characteristics of the distribution network, including aspects such as the change in fault current and the diversity of fault types, comprehensively evaluate the weak points and risk areas of the power grid after new energy access, and carefully design the timing logic between the distribution network protection device and the safety automatic device to ensure that faults can be quickly isolated and power supply can be restored. At the same time, analyze the characteristics of different power supply areas, covering key parameters such as short-circuit capacity and power supply radius, and formulate differentiated fault handling configuration plans based on regional characteristics to optimize protection settings and equipment layout.

[0089] Taking the typical grid structure of medium-voltage distribution network overhead lines as an example, the substation outlet intervals CX1 and CX2 are usually equipped with perfect protection functions and primary equipment, that is, integrated protection and measurement devices, and no upgrade and transformation work is required; the main line section intervals include FD1, FD2, FD, FD3, FD4, and integrated primary and secondary pole-mounted switches (including FTU, circuit breaker, voltage transformer, current transformer, etc.) should be installed according to the protection configuration requirements. If there is no protection configuration requirement, the status quo can be maintained; the branch intervals include Branch 2, Branch 3, Branch 6, Sub-branch 1, Sub-branch 2, Sub-branch 3, and integrated primary and secondary pole-mounted switches should be installed according to the protection configuration requirements. If there is no protection configuration requirement, the status quo can be maintained; for the user demarcation intervals, including PB1, PB4, PB5, PB2, PB3, PB6, integrated primary and secondary pole-mounted switches should be configured and installed; for the shunt-type reactive power compensation intervals, integrated primary and secondary pole-mounted switches should be configured and installed; the fault indicators should be selected and installed at appropriate positions in combination with the requirements of accurate fault location;

[0090] Urban cable lines mainly use ring main units to realize the connection of cable inlets and outlets, that is, the substation outgoing cable line is connected to the branch switch of the ring main unit, and all user load cable lines are connected from the branch switch of the ring main unit. The outgoing cable line and the user load cable line converge to the busbar of the ring main unit, and the ring main units are connected through the outgoing cable line (liaison line). Taking this grid structure as an example, the substation outlet intervals CX1 and CX2 are usually equipped with perfect protection functions and primary equipment, and no upgrade and transformation work is required; the main line incoming intervals include HW11, HW12, HW21, HW22, HW31, HW32, and circuit breakers and DTUs (with protection functions) should be installed according to the protection configuration requirements. If there is no protection configuration requirement, the status quo can be maintained; the outgoing intervals include hw11, hw12, hw13, hw21, hw22, hw23, hw31, hw32, hw33, and circuit breakers and DTUs (with protection functions) should be installed according to the protection configuration requirements. If there is no protection configuration requirement, the status quo can be maintained; for the user demarcation intervals, integrated primary and secondary pole-mounted switches should be configured and installed.

[0091] Then, deeply analyze the functions of existing medium and low-voltage terminals and IoT agents, evaluate their performance indicators, and based on the whole life cycle theory, conduct cluster analysis, collect relevant data of medium and low-voltage terminals, including characteristics such as computing power, deployment cost, communication requirements, and maintainability, select and construct feature vectors to accurately represent the key attributes of the terminals. For the medium and low-voltage terminal T, that is, T = {t1, t2, …, t n}, where each terminal t i is represented as a feature vector X i = [x i1 , x i2 , …, x im, where m is the number of features. For the set of application scenarios S = {s1, s2, …, s k}, each scenario s j has a corresponding weight W j . Define the distance i between the terminal t j and the scenario s as D ij . D i is the distance between the terminal t j and the scenario s jl . w j is the weight of the scenario s jl for the feature l, μ j is the average value of the feature l in the scenario s .
