Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of demand response, and specifically relates to a method and system for the coordinated optimization of cluster air conditioning and electric vehicles in a transformer substation. Background Technology

[0002] In power systems, distribution transformers (DVTs) are a crucial link in power distribution, and their energy utilization efficiency and load management effectiveness directly impact the stability and economy of the entire power system. In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and the growth of electric vehicle ownership, the proportion of air conditioning and electric vehicle loads in DVTs has gradually increased. Due to their time-sensitive and random characteristics, DVTs experience overload problems at certain times, leading to economic operational risks and posing challenges to load management. However, air conditioning and electric vehicles are also high-quality, adjustable resources, providing an important approach to solving DVT overload and economic operation problems.

[0003] Existing research generally uses ETP models for cluster air conditioning control, with the set temperature range as a constraint. However, the air conditioning load fluctuates significantly, which can easily cause load shocks to the transformer area. There is a lack of research on how to reduce air conditioning load fluctuations and effective smoothing control strategies. In addition, transformers may experience short-term power overruns due to load fluctuations within the transformer area, resulting in additional transformer economic losses. Existing research does not consider transformer overrun losses in economic costs, which deviates from actual operating requirements and should be taken into account during model optimization.

[0004] Furthermore, with the continuous maturation of the electricity market and the frequent fluctuations in external spot market prices, spot market price signals should be introduced into the load management at the distribution area level. By constructing a reasonable cluster air conditioning load control model and an electric vehicle charging and discharging model, a collaborative optimization method for cluster air conditioning and electric vehicles oriented towards the distribution area can be proposed, which has important practical significance and application value. Summary of the Invention

This method introduces a cluster air conditioning load control model and an electric vehicle charging and discharging model, and combines external spot price fluctuation factors to construct a coordinated optimization model for cluster air conditioning and electric vehicles with the goal of economic optimization. This model can meet the load regulation needs of power distribution areas while coordinating with electric vehicles to reduce electricity costs and improve the economic and stable operation of the power system.

[0154] Electric vehicle charging and discharging power such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in the early stages, when electric vehicles (EVs) are first connected to the grid, due to lower electricity prices and lower state of charge (SOC), EVs tend to choose charging mode. After about 5 hours of charging, around 11:00 AM, when electricity prices are higher, EVs switch to discharging mode, releasing energy back into the grid to reduce the load on the transformer in the distribution area, thereby lowering the area's electricity purchase cost and optimizing its power consumption structure. In subsequent periods, EVs flexibly adjust their charging and discharging strategies based on electricity price fluctuations: charging during periods of lower prices and continuing to discharge during periods of higher prices to achieve the economic operation goals of the distribution area.

[0156] The electricity purchase load of the distribution area is as follows Figure 1 As shown, during peak electricity consumption periods, the coordinated optimization mechanism of air conditioning and electric vehicles effectively reduced the amount of electricity purchased during peak hours, decreased the dependence of the distribution area on the power grid during peak hours, and reduced the demand for large amounts of high-priced electricity purchases, thereby effectively alleviating the pressure on transformers and achieving the goals of optimizing the power consumption structure and economical operation of the distribution area.
