Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of DC power transmission technology for photovoltaic power generation systems, and specifically to a multi-objective collaborative optimization method and system for DC voltage levels in photovoltaic systems. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic DC transmission technology has become a core development direction for large-scale grid-connected renewable energy due to its advantages such as high transmission efficiency, low loss, and simplified power conversion process. Among these advantages, the selection of the DC bus voltage level is a key design parameter affecting the overall performance of the photovoltaic DC system.

[0003] However, traditional voltage level selection methods have significant technical bottlenecks that restrict the improvement of overall system performance: First, traditional methods generally use voltage sequence standards for AC transmission systems, relying on empirical formulas and static lookup tables, which cannot adapt to complex engineering scenarios with multivariate coupling and dynamic constraints, and are difficult to accurately determine voltage levels for specific scenarios; Second, existing methods have a single evaluation dimension, neither systematically quantifying the economic costs of the entire life cycle of equipment investment, operation and maintenance, and replacement, nor ignoring the carbon emission impact throughout the entire process of equipment production, transportation, and decommissioning. Differences in voltage levels can indirectly change the total carbon emissions by affecting equipment demand and energy consumption. This separation of technical, economic, and environmental assessments makes it difficult to support low-carbon design; Third, existing optimization algorithms are prone to getting trapped in local optima in multi-objective high-dimensional spaces. Cross-cutting algorithms have significant advantages in balancing global exploration and local development, but have not yet been applied in this field.

The following is a detailed explanation of each step.

[0061] S1, Define the optimization variables:

[0062] This invention relates to the DC bus voltage level of a photovoltaic DC power generation system. Cable cross-sectional area and transmission distance As an optimization variable in multi-objective collaborative optimization; among them, the DC bus voltage level of the photovoltaic DC power generation system. and cable cross-sectional area It should be selected from the standard discrete values ​​within the medium voltage range; transmission distance This represents the distance from the DC bus to the grid connection point, and its value is continuous.

[0063] S2, Construct a multi-objective optimization function:

[0064] In S2, the three-dimensional model includes a photovoltaic system transmission loss model, a photovoltaic system full-cycle economic cost model, and a photovoltaic system full-cycle carbon emission model.

[0065] The magnitude of transmission losses directly impacts energy transmission efficiency, requiring sophisticated modeling to capture this dynamic relationship. Lifecycle economic costs encompass expenditures throughout the entire lifecycle, from equipment investment to operation, maintenance, and replacement, as well as land costs. Different voltage levels and equipment selection and scale lead to significant differences in cost structures, necessitating a systematic analysis of cost composition at each stage. Lifecycle carbon emissions span the entire process of equipment production, transportation, and decommissioning; differences in voltage levels indirectly alter total carbon emissions by influencing energy consumption and equipment demand. Therefore, quantitative models for these three dimensions need to be constructed separately to provide a scientific basis for the optimal selection of voltage levels.

[0066] (1) Constructing a photovoltaic system transmission loss model:

[0067] Transmission losses mainly originate from cable resistance losses, which are affected by DC bus voltage, cable cross-sectional area, transmission distance, and installed capacity. The temperature correction effect on resistance must be considered. The photovoltaic system transmission loss model is expressed as follows:

[0068] ;

[0069] in, This refers to the transmission loss of a photovoltaic system (which takes temperature correction into account, and is therefore also called the temperature-corrected transmission loss of a photovoltaic system). For the installed capacity of photovoltaic systems, The DC bus voltage level, The resistivity of the cable. For the transmission distance, The cross-sectional area of ​​the cable is [value missing]. This is a temperature correction factor, and Represented as:

[0071] in, The temperature coefficient of cable resistance. This refers to the actual operating temperature.

[0072] The objective optimization function derived from the photovoltaic system transmission loss model is the photovoltaic system transmission loss objective function, which is expressed as:

[0073] .

[0074] (2) Constructing a full-cycle economic cost model for photovoltaic systems:

[0075] The total lifecycle economic cost includes equipment investment cost, operation and maintenance cost, and replacement cost. This model is calculated based on the present value of all components. The cost components are calculated as follows:

[0076] Equipment investment cost:

[0079] in, For equipment investment costs; For the cost of photovoltaic modules, For the cost of DC cables, For converter cost; Cost per unit capacity of photovoltaic power For the installed capacity of photovoltaic systems; Cost per unit length and unit cross-sectional area of ​​cable For the transmission distance, The cross-sectional area of ​​the cable; Cost per unit capacity converter.

[0080] Operation and maintenance costs:

[0081] Operation and maintenance costs are the expenses incurred throughout the entire lifecycle of operation and maintenance. They are calculated as a fixed percentage of the initial investment and discounted to present value. The specific formula is as follows:

[0082] ;

[0083] in, For maintenance costs, The annual operation and maintenance fee rate for photovoltaic power generation. The annual maintenance rate for the cable. The annual maintenance cost of the converter, For the entire project lifecycle, The discount rate is... This refers to the rate of return on investment.

[0084] Replacement cost:

[0085] When the equipment lifespan is shorter than the project cycle, replacement costs need to be calculated. Photovoltaic modules and DC cables typically have a lifespan consistent with the project cycle and do not require replacement. Therefore, during their service life, the primary consideration is the replacement cost of the converter, as detailed below:

[0086] The full-cycle economic cost model of the photovoltaic system is expressed as follows:

[0087] ;

[0088] in, Cost of replacing the converter; For converter lifespan, For the number of converter replacements, and Represented as:

[0089] ;

[0090] Land costs:

[0091] In addition to the three costs mentioned above, land costs must also be considered. Land resources are scarce in short-distance areas, and the costs of land acquisition and leasing increase non-linearly as distance decreases, as detailed below:

[0092] ;

[0093] in, For land costs, As the reference distance, Baseline distance The corresponding land cost benchmark value, These are nonlinear coefficients. This is an adjustment item for installed capacity.

[0094] In summary, considering the four types of costs, the full-cycle economic cost model for a photovoltaic system is expressed as follows:

[0095] ;

[0096] in, The economic cost of the entire lifecycle of a photovoltaic system.

[0097] The objective function derived from the full-cycle economic cost model of a photovoltaic system is the objective function for the full-cycle economic cost of a photovoltaic system, which is expressed as follows:

[0098] .

Carbon emission factor per unit of electricity For the first The power consumption per unit of each process For the first Influencing factors of each process This represents the total number of production processes.

[0108] The carbon emissions from the production of DC cables are directly related to the amount of materials used, as shown in the following formula:

[0112] ;

[0113] in, Carbon emissions per unit power of the converter This is the voltage influence coefficient. The DC bus voltage level is specified.

[0114] Carbon emissions during transportation:

[0115] The transport vehicles use gasoline and diesel fuel, and calculating their carbon emissions requires calculating the emissions of CO2, CH4, and N2O. CH4 and N2O can be converted into CO2 equivalents for carbon emission calculations, using the following formulas:

[0116] ;

[0117] in, For total carbon emissions from transportation, For transportation distance, This refers to the total weight of the transported goods. For the first The global warming potential of these greenhouse gases For the first The conversion coefficient of a gas to CO2 equivalent, Fuel consumption intensity, The greenhouse gas emission factor for fuel.

[0118] Carbon emissions during the decommissioning phase:

[0119] The carbon emissions from decommissioning here mainly refer to those generated by incineration, as shown in the following formula:

[0120] ;

[0121] in, To address the total carbon emissions from decommissioning, The total carbon content of decommissioned equipment. 44 / 12 represents the carbon incineration conversion rate in the waste, and 44 / 12 is the molar mass ratio of carbon dioxide to carbon.

[0122] Based on the three stages of carbon emissions, the full-cycle carbon emission model for photovoltaic systems can be expressed as follows:

[0123] ;

[0124] in, For the entire life cycle carbon emissions of photovoltaic systems

[0125] The objective optimization function derived from the full-cycle carbon emission model of the photovoltaic system is the objective function for the full-cycle carbon emission of the photovoltaic system, which is expressed as:

This is the set of standard discrete values ​​for cable cross-sectional area; For the transmission distance, To minimize the transmission distance, This represents the maximum transmission distance. For cable current carrying capacity, For the corresponding cross-sectional area The maximum current carrying capacity of the cable; It is the minimum value in the standard discrete value set of DC bus voltage levels. For the installed capacity of photovoltaic systems, The resistivity of the cable. For the transmission distance, To allow for voltage drop.

[0135] (2) Multi-objective optimization based on the cross-sectional optimization algorithm:

[0136] Before performing multi-objective optimization based on the cross-sectional crossover optimization algorithm, it is necessary to set the algorithm parameters, including: population size N, total number of objective functions M, maximum number of iterations Maxgen, and lateral crossover rate. and vertical cross rate In this embodiment, the population size N is 100, the total number of objective functions M is 3, the maximum number of iterations Maxgen is 200, and the lateral crossover rate is...

[0151] Specifically, in the process of vertically crossing each particle in the parent population along each dimension, every particle in the current parent population is traversed, and each dimension U, S, L of the particle is normalized. After updating the particle with the vertical crossover algorithm, inverse normalization is performed to generate the vertically crossed offspring population. .

When the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements the multi-objective collaborative optimization method for DC voltage levels of a photovoltaic system as described above.

[0162] A multi-objective collaborative optimization method and system for DC voltage levels in photovoltaic systems breaks through the limitations of traditional static parameter selection by constructing a three-dimensional optimization framework of DC bus voltage level, cable cross-sectional area, and transmission distance. It captures the correlation between multiple variables through multi-dimensional coupled modeling, adapting to complex constraints in different scenarios. Simultaneously, it establishes a multi-objective quantitative model for transmission loss, life-cycle economic cost, and carbon emissions, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of the system's overall performance. Furthermore, it employs a cross-optimization algorithm, combining horizontal global exploration and vertical local development with Pareto non-dominated sorting and congestion distance filtering, to address the problems of low convergence accuracy and insufficient solution diversity in multi-dimensional, multi-objective optimization. The resulting solution outputs a collaborative optimal solution set composed of DC bus voltage level, cable cross-sectional area, and transmission distance. This invention is applicable to various photovoltaic system scenarios with different installed capacities, significantly improving the system's overall performance in terms of energy efficiency, economy, and environmental protection.
