Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photovoltaic district management, and mainly relates to a distributed photovoltaic district self-balancing load scheduling method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The large-scale access of distributed photovoltaics has changed the traditional passive distribution network into an active distribution network with bidirectional flow characteristics: during the day when the light is sufficient, the power generation of distributed photovoltaics may be much higher than the power load at that time, resulting in a large amount of excess power being transmitted to the upper-level power grid in reverse through the distribution transformer, that is, "reverse flow". This phenomenon not only causes the voltage of the district line to be too high and run out of limits, but may also trigger the action of the protection device and cause the off-grid accident. At the same time, as a flexible load with high power and high randomness, the centralized charging behavior of electric vehicles (usually occurring during the night peak load) is naturally out of phase with the photovoltaic power generation period, further exacerbating the peak-valley difference of the district load within a day, resulting in problems such as transformer overload and voltage drop. The above problems have caused serious load imbalance within the district.

[0003] To address the above challenges, the following technical means exist in the prior art: 1. Increase the capacity of the transformer and replace the line with a thicker cross section to improve the power supply capacity of the district. However, this method has a huge investment cost and is a global upgrade to solve the short-term peak load, resulting in low equipment utilization and poor economics, and is not an intelligent solution. 2. Deploy an energy storage system in the district to smooth the load curve through "low storage and high generation". However, existing applications are mostly limited to simple time sequence energy transfer and lack precise coordination with photovoltaic output and load characteristics. The control strategy is usually based on fixed thresholds or simple logic and cannot dynamically respond to the imbalance of some areas within the district. 3. Through time-of-use pricing or direct load control to guide user behavior. This method can shave the peak and fill the valley to some extent, but the regulation object is usually limited to the load side and cannot effectively link with the generation side (photovoltaic) and the energy storage side. 4. Install reactive power compensation devices or voltage regulating transformers at voltage limit nodes to stabilize the voltage. This method only compensates after the voltage problem occurs and does not solve the problem of load imbalance caused by the spatial mismatch between active power supply and demand.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can automatically balance the distribution of electrical energy within the district according to demand and on-site. SUMMARY
