Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system distribution network planning and operation technology, and particularly relates to a method and system for calculating the segmented equivalent load moment of a medium-voltage distribution network based on fault probability. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening of the construction of new power systems, the penetration rate of distributed renewable energy in distribution networks is constantly increasing, and load distribution exhibits high spatiotemporal imbalance and uncertainty, posing unprecedented challenges to power supply reliability. Traditional distribution network planning methods mainly use power supply distance as the standard for judging the rationality of the network structure. This method is effective to a certain extent in grids with simple structures and uniform load distribution. However, in today's complex distribution network environment, considering only distance while ignoring factors such as line fault probability, load dynamic characteristics, and automation level, its limitations are becoming increasingly apparent, making it difficult to accurately identify the true weak links in the grid.
[0003] Load moment (the product of load and distance) is a classic indicator in distribution network planning, traditionally widely used for quickly assessing line voltage quality, determining economical power supply radius, and making preliminary comparisons of grid structures. However, the traditional load moment is a static indicator that only reflects the electrical stress of the power grid under normal operating conditions and cannot quantify the dynamic impact of fault risk on power supply reliability. For two lines with the same load moment, if one has a higher probability of failure due to environmental factors, equipment aging, etc., its actual operational reliability risk is obviously higher, but the traditional load moment indicator cannot reflect this difference.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a new indicator and calculation method that can integrate electrical load and fault risk, so as to achieve a more scientific and accurate evaluation of the distribution network planning and provide data support for differentiated planning, precise investment and operation optimization. Summary of the Invention
