Currently, my country's installed capacity of new energy power generation exceeds 1.18 billion kilowatts, accounting for 38.4% of the total installed power generation capacity, making it the largest power source. However, distributed new energy power generation is highly random, intermittent, and volatile due to factors such as weather and uneven spatial and temporal distribution, leading to increased local imbalances in the distribution network and seriously threatening the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Voltage exceeding limits and distribution transformer overload are particularly prominent issues. For distributed photovoltaic energy storage systems, after grid connection, they may alter the flow direction of electricity in the grid, resulting in reverse flow; voltage exceeding limits can damage grid equipment, affect power quality, and cause power outages, disrupting socio-economic activities and residents' daily lives.

[0049] Figure 3 A flowchart is shown for an intelligent load management method for a distributed photovoltaic-energy storage system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0050] In the following, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings to enable those skilled in the art to readily implement them. Furthermore, for clarity, portions unrelated to the description of exemplary embodiments have been omitted from the drawings.

[0051] In this disclosure, it should be understood that terms such as “comprising” or “having” are intended to indicate the presence of features, figures, steps, behaviors, components, parts or combinations thereof disclosed in this specification, and are not intended to exclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, figures, steps, behaviors, components, parts or combinations thereof.

[0052] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other. This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0053] As mentioned earlier, distributed renewable energy generation is highly random, intermittent, and volatile due to factors such as weather and uneven spatial and temporal distribution. This exacerbates local imbalances in the distribution network, seriously threatening the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Among these issues, voltage exceeding limits and distribution transformer overload are particularly prominent. Specifically, after grid connection, distributed photovoltaic systems may alter the flow direction of electrical energy in the grid, resulting in reverse flow. Voltage exceeding limits can damage grid equipment, affect power quality, and even lead to power outages.

[0054] With the grid connection of distributed photovoltaic-energy storage systems, while bringing flexibility and power supply reliability, some significant drawbacks have also been introduced. For example, besides being greatly affected by weather and time factors, the limitations of energy storage technology (such as limited storage capacity, low efficiency, and limited lifespan of storage media) restrict the application and development of distributed photovoltaic-energy storage systems. The connection of distributed photovoltaic-energy storage systems can also impact grid operation and management, such as changing power flow direction and increasing the difficulty of reactive power balancing. The inventors have found that to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid, it is necessary to strengthen research and modification of grid adaptability.

[0055] This disclosure provides an intelligent load management and distribution system for a distributed photovoltaic-energy storage system. The distribution system includes a medium-voltage distribution network and multiple distribution transformers connected to the medium-voltage distribution network. The distribution transformers are connected to one or more low-voltage distribution networks. The low-voltage distribution network includes multiple distributed photovoltaic-energy storage systems, where one distributed photovoltaic-energy storage system is a master node and the remaining distributed photovoltaic-energy storage systems are non-master nodes.

[0056] For each of the plurality of distribution transformers, the medium-voltage distribution network acquires the output power of the distribution transformer. Based on the power limits of each of the plurality of low-voltage distribution networks connected to the distribution transformer and the output power, it calculates the active power regulation of each low-voltage distribution network. Then, based on the active power regulation of each low-voltage distribution network, it sends a control command to the master node in each low-voltage distribution network. For each low-voltage distribution network, upon receiving the control command, the master node iteratively updates its consistency variables based on the active power regulation of the low-voltage distribution network. Each of the plurality of non-master nodes calculates its adjacent nodes based on the network topology of the low-voltage distribution network. The state propagation coefficient of the non-master node is used as the basis for iteratively updating the consistency variables of the non-master node based on the state propagation coefficient and the updated consistency variables of the adjacent nodes. The master node and the multiple non-master nodes continuously iteratively update their corresponding consistency variables until the master node and all non-master nodes reach a system equilibrium state, wherein the adjacent nodes are the master node or other non-master nodes. For the low-voltage distribution network connected to the multiple distribution transformers, a one-time variable of the master node and all non-master nodes in the low-voltage distribution network is continuously iteratively updated until the master node and all non-master nodes in the low-voltage distribution network reach a system equilibrium state, thereby realizing intelligent load management of the distributed photovoltaic-energy storage system.

[0057] This disclosure achieves consistency between photovoltaic power generation fluctuations, the charging and discharging status of energy storage systems, and the grid connection requirements of the power grid. It also utilizes the collaborative control between multiple distributed photovoltaic-energy storage systems to avoid voltage overruns and distribution transformer overloads, thereby improving the stability of the power grid, realizing intelligent management and control of the power grid, and promoting the construction of a new type of power system.

[0058] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a smart load management and distribution system for a distributed photovoltaic-energy storage system is shown according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0059] The power distribution system includes: a medium-voltage power distribution network and multiple distribution transformers connected to the medium-voltage power distribution network. The distribution transformers are connected to one or more low-voltage power distribution networks. The low-voltage power distribution network includes multiple distributed photovoltaic-energy storage systems. One of the distributed photovoltaic-energy storage systems in the low-voltage power distribution network is a master node, and the remaining distributed photovoltaic-energy storage systems are non-master nodes.

[0060] In this disclosure, the master node is the distributed photovoltaic-energy storage system closest to the distribution transformer connected to the low-voltage distribution network. The node closest to the distribution transformer (the distributed photovoltaic-energy storage system) is chosen as the master node because this node facilitates communication, making grid monitoring and control more convenient.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, assuming the medium-voltage distribution network is connected to m distribution transformers, and each distribution transformer is connected to j low-voltage distribution networks, where m > 1 and j ≥ 1; then, when j = 1, the distribution transformer is connected to one low-voltage distribution network, and when j > 1, the distribution transformer is connected to multiple low-voltage distribution networks. The number of low-voltage distribution networks connected to each distribution transformer can be the same or different. For example, for the first distribution transformer, j = 10, for the second distribution transformer, j = 20, and so on. Those skilled in the art will understand that the values ​​of m and j are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure.

[0062] According to embodiments of this disclosure, for each of the plurality of distribution transformers, the medium-voltage distribution network acquires the output power of the distribution transformer, calculates the active power regulation of each low-voltage distribution network based on the power limit of each low-voltage distribution network connected to the distribution transformer and the output power, and then sends control commands to the master nodes in each low-voltage distribution network based on the active power regulation of each low-voltage distribution network.

[0063] The medium-voltage distribution network sends control commands only to the distributed photovoltaic-energy storage system (PV-energy storage system), which acts as the master node, based on the active power regulation required by each low-voltage distribution network. The master node then updates its own consistency variables according to these commands and distributes the control commands (regulation schemes) to other nodes (distributed PV-energy storage systems) through a consensus algorithm. This control method reduces reliance on communication, simplifies intelligent load management, and improves processing speed.

[0064] Specifically, for each low-voltage distribution network, the medium-voltage distribution network calculates the active power regulation of the low-voltage distribution network based on the maximum and minimum active power of the low-voltage distribution network and the output power of the distribution transformer connected to the low-voltage distribution network. Specifically, the active power regulation is calculated using the following formula:

[0065]

[0066] Among them, the The active power regulation of the j-th low-voltage distribution network is... The output power of the distribution transformer connected to the j-th low-voltage distribution network is... The maximum active power of the j-th low-voltage distribution network is... Let be the minimum active power of the j-th low-voltage distribution network.

[0067] From the above formula, we can see that:

[0068] In the At that time, the j-th low-voltage distribution network absorbs power relative to the medium-voltage distribution network;

[0069] In the At that time, the j-th low-voltage distribution network outputs power relative to the medium-voltage distribution network;

[0070] In the At that time, the j-th low-voltage distribution network is in a system balance state.

[0071] According to embodiments of this disclosure, in the j-th low-voltage distribution network, or At that time, the medium-voltage distribution network sends a control command to the master node in the j-th low-voltage distribution network, wherein the control command includes an active power adjustment command.

[0072] That is, the medium-voltage distribution network sends control commands to the master node in the j-th low-voltage distribution network only when the j-th low-voltage distribution network is absorbing or outputting power relative to the medium-voltage distribution network. When the j-th low-voltage distribution network is in a system balance state, no control commands are sent. In other words, at this time, it is not necessary to regulate the active power of the master node in the low-voltage distribution network.

[0073] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the system further includes a power measuring device; the power measuring device is disposed between the medium-voltage distribution network and the distribution transformer, thereby measuring the output power of the distribution transformer. The power measuring device may be a power meter, a power quality analyzer, etc.

[0074] According to embodiments of this disclosure, for each low-voltage distribution network, after receiving the control command, the master node iteratively updates its consistency variables based on the active power adjustment of the low-voltage distribution network. The master node continuously iterates and updates its consistency variables until it reaches a system equilibrium state.

[0075] The master node iteratively updates its consistency variables based on the active power regulation of the low-voltage distribution network, including:

[0076] The master node performs the k1-th iteration update of its consistency variables based on the consistency variables of the master node that have undergone k1-1 iteration updates and the active power regulation of the low-voltage distribution network. Specifically, the k1-th iteration update of the master node's consistency variables is performed according to the following formula:

[0077]

[0078] Among them, the The consistency variables that were updated for the master node in the k1th iteration, The consistency variable of the master node has been updated k1-1 times. a is a convergence control parameter, 1≤k1≤K, where K is the preset maximum number of iterations, and t represents the dynamic change of the consistency variable's iterative update over time.

[0079] Furthermore, the convergence control parameters can be set according to the response characteristics of the distributed photovoltaic-energy storage system, the accuracy requirements of the control target, and the communication cost of the power grid.

[0080] According to embodiments of this disclosure, for each low-voltage distribution network, after receiving the control command, each of the plurality of non-master nodes calculates the state transfer coefficient from the adjacent node to the non-master node based on the network topology of the low-voltage distribution network. Based on the state transfer coefficient and the updated consistency variables of the adjacent nodes, the consistency variables of the non-master nodes are iteratively updated. The plurality of non-master nodes continuously iteratively update the corresponding consistency variables until all non-master nodes reach a system equilibrium state. The adjacent nodes are the master node or other non-master nodes.

[0081] Specifically, the non-master node continuously iterates and updates its consistency variables according to the control instructions assigned by the master node based on the consensus algorithm.

[0082] The general expression for the consensus algorithm is: x i (k+1)=∑ j∈v d i,j x j (k); where x j (k) represents the state variable of node i; k is the iteration number, predetermined by the experiment; d i,j Let be the state transfer coefficient from node i to node j.

[0083] The step of calculating the state transfer coefficient from the adjacent node to the non-master node based on the network topology of the low-voltage distribution network includes: the non-master node i+n calculates the state transfer coefficient from the adjacent node i to the non-master node i+n based on the total number of communication messages received by the non-master node i+n. Specifically, the state transfer coefficient from the adjacent node i to the non-master node i+n is calculated according to the following formula:

[0084]

[0085] Wherein, the d i,i+n The state transfer coefficients from the adjacent node i to the non-master node i+n are... is the total number of communication messages received by the non-master node i+n, and b is the communication line in the low-voltage distribution network.

[0086] Furthermore, the adjacent node i is a node directly connected to the non-master node i+n in the communication network, and the distance of the adjacent node i to the master node is closer than the distance of the non-master node i+n to the master node. When n=0, the adjacent node i is the master node; since the total number of communication messages received by different nodes in the communication network is different, the state transfer coefficients between different non-master nodes i+n and adjacent nodes i are different.

[0087] The total amount of communication information includes power regulation commands, voltage levels, frequency, or other signals related to grid operation. By calculating the state transfer coefficient between adjacent nodes based on the total amount of communication information, each node can coordinate its behavior to respond to the global needs of the grid without centralized control.

[0088] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the topology of a master node in a low-voltage distribution network according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0089] like Figure 2 As shown, if the non-master node i+1 and non-master node i+2 have the same neighbor node i, then when calculating the state transfer coefficient from neighbor node i to non-master node i+1, it is necessary to calculate based on the total number of communication messages received by non-master node i+1. Similarly, when calculating the state transfer coefficient from neighbor node i to non-master node i+2, it is necessary to calculate based on the total number of communication messages received by non-master node i+2.

[0090] Furthermore, the iterative update of the consistency variables of the non-master nodes based on the state transit coefficients and the updated consistency variables of the neighboring nodes includes performing the k2-th iteration update of the consistency variables of the non-master nodes according to the following formula:

[0091] u i+n,t (k2)=∑ i+n∈c d i,i+n u i,t (k2-1);

[0092] Wherein, the u i+n,t (k2) represents the consistency variable after the k2th iteration update of non-master node i+n, where u i,t (k2-1) is the consistency variable after k2-1 iterations of the neighboring node i, where c is the set of nodes in the low-voltage distribution network, 1≤k2≤K, and K is the preset maximum number of iterations.

[0093] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the consistency variables of the master node and / or non-master node are related to the charging and discharging states of the corresponding master node and / or non-master node, the output power of photovoltaic power generation, and changes in grid power demand.

[0094] For each of the primary and / or non-primary nodes:

[0095] The charge / discharge state is represented by the ratio of the node's energy storage power to its installed capacity, specifically... Among them, P PCC,i Let S be the energy storage power of node i. PV,i Let be the installed capacity of node i.

[0096] The output power of photovoltaic power generation is affected not only by the charging and discharging state of the energy storage system, but also by factors such as the installation angle of the photovoltaic system, its topological location in the power system, and the intensity of solar irradiance. The output power of photovoltaic power generation under the influence of these multiple factors is also a significant and undeniable factor affecting the consistency variables of the master node and / or non-master nodes.

[0097] The change in grid power demand is defined as the ratio of the power exchanged between a node and the grid to the node's rated power within the time interval between two adjacent iterations. Among them, P ESS,i Let S be the grid-connected power of node i, Δt be the time interval between two adjacent iterations, and S be the grid-connected power of node i. ESS,i Let be the rated power of node i.

[0098] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the master node and all non-master nodes have reached a system balance state, including:

[0099] For any of the master node and / or non-master nodes, calculate the active power adjustment amount of the node in the k-th iteration update. When the active power adjustment amount in the k-th iteration update is 0 or less than a set threshold, the node reaches the system balance state. Wherein, when the node is a master node, k = k1, and when the node is a non-master node, k = k2.

[0100] Specifically, for any of the master node and / or non-master nodes, the active power adjustment of any node i in the k-th iteration is calculated according to the following formula:

[0101]

[0108] In step S302, for each low-voltage distribution network, after receiving the control command, the master node iteratively updates its consistency variables based on the active power adjustment of the low-voltage distribution network; each of the plurality of non-master nodes calculates the state transfer coefficient from the adjacent node to the non-master node according to the network topology of the low-voltage distribution network, and iteratively updates the consistency variables of the non-master node based on the state transfer coefficient and the updated consistency variables of the adjacent node; the master node and the plurality of non-master nodes continuously iteratively update their corresponding consistency variables until the master node and all non-master nodes reach a system equilibrium state, wherein the adjacent node is the master node or other non-master nodes.
