TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of power system safety analysis, in particular to a main and distribution network power balance capability evaluation method and system for high-proportion new energy access. BACKGROUND
[0002] With large-scale access of high-proportion new energy such as wind power and photovoltaic power in a power system, the strong randomness and volatility of both the source and the load are significantly intensified, which poses a severe challenge to the power balance capability of the coordinated operation of the main network and the distribution network. The traditional power grid safety analysis method based on a deterministic model cannot effectively cope with such uncertainty, and although the existing research proposes to use demand side response and active distribution network technology to improve new energy consumption capacity, it is also subject to the uncertainty of user behavior, the limitation of prediction accuracy and high coordination cost.
[0003] The existing evaluation method often separately processes or simplifies the power interaction and constraints between different levels of power grids, resulting in a large deviation between the evaluation results and the actual operation conditions. In addition, in the face of the complexity and real-time requirements brought by the access of a large number of distributed resources to the distribution network, the traditional evaluation method that relies on fine models for long-time simulation cannot meet the urgent needs of speed and adaptability of dispatching decisions.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a method and system that can quickly and accurately evaluate the overall power balance capability of the main and distribution network under high-proportion new energy access, and provide efficient and reliable quantitative support for the safe and stable operation and optimized dispatching of the power grid. SUMMARY

The application discloses a main and distribution network power balance capability evaluation method and system for high-proportion new energy access.
[0006] Technical scheme
[0007] The application proposes a main and distribution network power balance capability evaluation method for high-proportion new energy access, which comprises the following steps:

[0043] Step 3: Perform a global feasibility assessment. If all key nodes meet the voltage upper and lower limit constraints and safety constraints in all typical scenarios, then the main network determines that the system has the ability to balance within the current robust feasible domain.
[0044] Furthermore, the security constraints include:

[0059] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the system of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0060] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0061] Example 1
[0062] The present invention provides a method for assessing the power balance capability of main and distribution networks for high-proportion renewable energy access, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0063] S1: Constructing a multi-timescale balancing capability analysis framework integrating primary and secondary systems.
[0064] To ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system under a high proportion of renewable energy access, this invention first constructs a multi-timescale balance capability analysis architecture integrating main and distribution systems.
[0065] The architecture fully considers the differences in time response of various types of controllable resources such as thermal power units, energy storage systems, and flexible loads in the main grid and distribution network, as well as the uncertainty and rapid fluctuation of the output of new energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics. The balance analysis is divided into two scales: day-ahead hour level and intraday 15-minute level.
[0066] In the current phase, each distribution network performs preliminary balancing capacity calculations on an hourly basis based on its own operating characteristics, and reports the analysis results and power adjustment range to the main grid. The main grid then integrates the information reported by all distribution networks, the adjustment capacity of its own large generating units, and safety constraints such as transmission section limits, to conduct a global optimization analysis, and issues power balance demand decisions for each time section for the next day.
[0067] During the intraday rolling phase, the distribution network side updates its boundary adjustable power range and corresponding robust feasible region in a rolling manner with a 15-minute cycle based on ultra-short-term forecast data.
[0068] Active power variables are injected into the boundaries of each distribution network at the main and distribution common coupling point. The adjustable power range for time period t is expressed as follows:
[0069]
[0070] in and These represent the lower and upper limits of the boundary power that distribution network k can absorb or send to the main grid at time t, respectively.
[0071] Meanwhile, when issuing decisions from the main network side, system power balance constraints must be met:
[0072]
[0073] in Power output from the main grid generator. Main network load, This architecture enables bidirectional interaction and collaborative balancing between the primary and distribution networks, moving from slow to fast speeds and from planned to real-time operations. This provides a framework for accurately assessing the overall system balance capability.
[0074] S2: Construct a multi-level coupled operation model of primary and secondary components.
[0075] To accurately predict the operation of the power system, this invention constructs a multi-level coupled operation model based on a multi-timescale balancing capacity analysis architecture integrating the main grid and distribution network. This model effectively reflects the interaction between the main grid and the distribution network. The model fully considers the topological differences between the main grid and the distribution network, the distribution and characteristics of adjustable resources within their respective jurisdictions, and the power transmission capacity of key transmission sections, among other key operational characteristics. Based on this, by accurately describing the bidirectional energy transmission relationship between the main grid and the distribution network at different time scales and levels, a unified and coordinated main-distribution collaborative optimization framework is formed.
[0076] Mainnet operation model:
[0077] As the backbone network of the power system, the main grid model aims to ensure the security and economy of large-scale power transmission, and mainly includes the following constraints:

[0113] Principal-partner coupling model:
[0114] The core of multi-level coupled operation of the main network and distribution networks lies in the consistency of boundary information. To achieve effective coordination between the main network sub-problems and the various distribution network sub-problems, the following coupling constraints need to be applied at their connecting boundary nodes:

[0117] S3: Propose a method for generating typical scenarios of source-charge uncertainty based on kernel density estimation and Copula function.
[0118] Probabilistic modeling is performed on the power output and load fluctuations of renewable energy sources on both the main grid and distribution grid sides. Due to the strong randomness and intermittency of renewable energy output and load, their probability distributions often do not conform to a standard normal distribution, making it difficult for traditional distribution models based on parameters (such as mean and variance) to accurately describe their actual statistical patterns. Therefore, this invention employs kernel density estimation (KDE) for nonparametric probability density estimation. KDE is a data-driven smoothing estimation method that approximates the true probability density function by placing a kernel function (such as a Gaussian kernel) at each historical data point and performing a weighted summation, without requiring prior assumptions about the distribution form. For a one-dimensional random variable X (such as the renewable energy output at a certain node), the kernel density estimation formula is:
[0119]
[0120] in For the point The probability density estimate at that location, For the number of historical samples, For the first Each sample value The bandwidth parameter controls the smoothness, and its value is determined through cross-validation to balance the bias and variance of the estimation. For the kernel function, this invention uses the Gaussian kernel function, that is:
[0121] .
[0122] To characterize the complex spatiotemporal correlations between multivariable source and load power in the main grid and distribution network, the Copula function is introduced. The Copula function is a tool that connects marginal distributions and joint distributions, capable of separating the marginal distributions of individual variables from the dependency structure between variables, flexibly describing nonlinear and asymmetric correlations. Let d-dimensional random variables... These represent the renewable energy output or load at different nodes in the main grid and distribution network, respectively, and their edge distribution functions are: Then the joint distribution function This can be represented by the Copula function C as follows:
[0123]
[0124] in For Copula functions, The parameter vector of a Copula can be fitted from historical data using maximum likelihood estimation. Maximum likelihood estimation is a commonly used parameter estimation method; its core idea is to find a set of parameter values that maximizes the probability of observing existing historical data. This invention selects an appropriate Copula type based on data characteristics; for example, Gaussian Copula is suitable for symmetric correlation structures, while t-Copula is suitable for scenarios with strong tail correlations.
[0125] Based on the above probability model, the steps for generating a typical operating scenario are as follows:
[0126] Step 1: Data Collection and Feature Extraction. Collect historical operational data from the main grid and distribution network, including renewable energy output (wind power, photovoltaic) and load data, covering different time segments (e.g., 96 points / day) and spatial nodes. Extract the temporal features of each variable and construct a feature vector containing spatiotemporal correlation information, such as the output values of multiple nodes at the same time and time lag correlation.
[0127] Step 2: Marginal Distribution Estimation. For each variable, such as grid wind farm output, distribution grid photovoltaic output, and load, kernel density estimation is applied to obtain its marginal probability density function. and cumulative distribution function ,in .
[0128] Step 3: Copula Modeling and Parameter Fitting. The marginal distribution values... Mapping to a uniformly distributed space yields Based on Given the sample data, select an appropriate Copula function form and estimate the parameters. This is used to capture the dependency structure between variables.
[0129] Step 4: Joint Scene Generation. Using the fitted Copula model, a large number of correlated uniform random vectors are generated through Monte Carlo sampling. Monte Carlo sampling is a numerical computation method based on random numbers. Its core idea is to simulate the possible states of a complex system through repeated random sampling. In this method, a large number of samples are randomly drawn from a pre-constructed joint probability distribution, with each sample representing a possible source-load power combination. Then, an inverse marginal distribution transformation is applied. Restore the scene to its original power value to form an initial scene set. Each of the scenes It includes the source load power values of all nodes in the main grid and distribution network.
[0130] Step 5: Scenario Reduction and Key Scenario Selection. To improve computational efficiency, a net volatility intensity index is introduced to quantify the overall risk of each scenario:
[0131]
[0132] in Let be the net fluctuation intensity of scenario s. , These are weighting coefficients that reflect the degree to which fluctuations on the generation and load sides affect the system balance. The net power fluctuation value of the system under scenario s. Let the standard deviation of the load fluctuation in scenario s be defined. Set a threshold. ,in , For all scenarios The mean and standard deviation, The robustness coefficient is adjustable. Screening is performed to ensure compliance. The key scenarios are used for subsequent evaluation, which significantly reduces the computational scale.
[0133] The typical scenario set generated through the above process can not only accurately reflect the probabilistic characteristics of source-load uncertainty, but also effectively capture its spatiotemporal correlation, providing a targeted and highly representative input scenario for the assessment of the power balance capability of the main and distribution networks.
[0134] S4: Establish a distribution network balancing capacity analysis model
[0135] Based on the generated typical scenarios of uncertain source and load on the distribution network side, and considering the probability distribution of its new energy sources, a distribution network balancing capacity analysis model is constructed. This model aims to quantify the balancing capacity of the distribution network under uncertain conditions and report key boundary information to the main grid side for integrated analysis of the main and distribution networks.
[0136] Considering the power flow equations, voltage safety constraints, line capacity limitations, and distributed resource operation constraints of the distribution network, and linearizing the nonlinear constraints at the reference operating point, the voltage constraint linearization is as follows:
[0137]
[0138] The power balance constraint is linearized as follows:
[0139]
[0140] in , This is a node-branch association matrix. This represents the net change in power.
[0141] All constraints are represented in matrix form:
[0142]
[0143] in This is the state variable coefficient matrix, which includes linearization coefficients such as voltage sensitivity and power balance. The coefficient matrix of the control variables characterizes the ability of controllable resources to regulate the system state. The historical state correlation matrix describes the temporal coupling relationships. The coefficient matrix of the scenario variables quantifies the impact of uncertainty. To constrain the boundary vectors, various safety operation limits are included. Based on the above constraint system, a balancing capacity assessment and optimization problem is constructed to determine the feasible range of power interaction with the main grid.
[0144] (1) Calculate the minimum interaction power:
[0145]
[0146] in This refers to the net power at the connection point between the distribution network and the main grid. Let be the minimum interaction power in scenario s. For the current state variable, To control variables, and These are the feasible regions of state variables and control variables, respectively, and are composed of physical constraints such as power flow equations, voltage safety constraints, line capacity limits, and distributed generation regulation capabilities of the distribution network.
[0147] (2) Calculate the maximum interaction power:
[0148]
[0149] in This represents the maximum interaction power in scenario s.
[0150] During the day-ahead rolling phase, the photovoltaic system adjusts its power output based on short-term forecasts of load and renewable energy fluctuations. Through short-term forecasting, the photovoltaic system can respond in real-time to load and renewable energy fluctuations, thus providing timely power regulation support to the distribution network. During the day-ahead phase, on-load tap-changing transformers optimize voltage and power transmission by adjusting transformer taps.
[0151] Ultimately, the adjustable power range reported by the distribution network to the main grid under each scenario s is obtained as follows: Upper limit and lower limit This range refers to the robust feasible region within which the distribution network can operate safely and interact with the main grid under current renewable energy output and load conditions. The main grid will then use this range, following the multi-timescale balancing capacity analysis architecture constructed in S1, to conduct a global balancing capacity assessment and decision-making process.
[0152] S5: Integrated Analysis Model and Solution for Main-Support Balance Capability Based on Robust Feasible Domain
[0153] For typical uncertain scenarios generated on the main grid side, considering the information interaction and energy transmission on the distribution network side, the upper and lower limits of the balancing capacity provided by the distribution network side to the main grid side are characterized by affine functions. Then, by integrating affine mathematics and the linearized voltage-power mapping model, an integrated analysis model of the main grid balancing capacity based on the robust feasible region is proposed.
[0154] The integrated analysis model of main and auxiliary power supply balancing capability is the core method for achieving the ultimate goal of this invention. The final evaluation result is determined based on whether power balance is satisfied under all disturbance conditions; the evaluation result indicates either balancing capability or non-balancing capability. The judgment steps of the integrated analysis model of main and auxiliary power supply balancing capability are as follows:
[0155] Step 1: Distribution network side reports robust feasible region. Based on the balance capacity analysis model described in S4, each distribution network calculates the power adjustable range under each typical scenario s and reports it to the main grid side in affine form.
[0156] The main power grid and multiple distribution networks exchange power through connection points. The uncertainty of power exchange at these connection points is mathematically characterized, and the connection points between the distribution networks and the main grid are referred to as boundary nodes. The feasible range of interactive power corresponding to each typical scenario s reported by the distribution network is mapped to boundary nodes. The affine form of the net injected power. For scene s, the boundary nodes... Active injection It can be represented as:
[0157]
[0158] in This is the center value of power injection, i.e., the expected power exchange point in this scenario. This is the amplitude coefficient for power fluctuations. It is an independent noise element with a value range of [−1,1], used to characterize the power fluctuation caused by the uncertainty of new energy sources and load in this specific scenario.
[0159] Assuming the active distribution network operates in a certain state (p0, q0, V0, θ0), when a disturbance occurs in the injected power at a node, its operating state changes accordingly, and the changed operating state becomes (p, q, V, θ). Then, the following holds:
[0160]
[0161] Where p, q, V, θ represent the active power injection vector, reactive power injection vector, voltage magnitude vector, and voltage phase angle vector at the node, respectively, and Δp, Δq, ΔV, Δθ represent the changes in the active power injection vector, reactive power injection vector, voltage magnitude vector, and voltage phase angle vector at the node, respectively.
[0162] Step 2: Perform robust security verification on the main network side. After receiving the affine power expressions reported by each distribution network, the main network side calculates the voltage sensitivity coefficient for each scenario s and each critical node r to evaluate the degree of response of voltage changes to power fluctuations and verify whether the upper and lower voltage limits are met.
[0163] The corrected equations based on the Newton-Raphson power flow calculations are shown below:
[0164]
[0165] By performing an equivalent transformation on the above equation, we can obtain:
[0166]
[0167]
[0168] Where J represents the Jacobian matrix, S p θ S represents the "voltage phase angle - nodal active power injection" sensitivity matrix. q θ S represents the "voltage phase angle - nodal reactive power injection" sensitivity matrix. p V S represents the "voltage amplitude - nodal active power injection" sensitivity matrix. q V This represents the sensitivity matrix of "voltage amplitude - nodal reactive power injection".
[0169] For node r in the main network that needs to be monitored for safe operation, its voltage amplitude Change relative to the reference operating point Approximately expressed as:
[0170]
[0171] in and These are the sensitivity coefficients of voltage to active and reactive power, respectively. Since the sensitivity relationship is linear, the voltage deviation at node r... The affine form that inherits power injection is represented as:
[0172]
[0173]
[0174] Therefore, the voltage affine expression for node r is obtained as follows:
[0175]
[0176] in Let be the initial voltage of node r.
[0177] Step 3: Perform a global feasibility assessment. If all critical nodes meet the above constraints in all typical scenarios, the main network determines that the system has balancing capabilities within the current robust feasible domain, and the power adjustment range reported by the distribution network can be accepted by the main network.
[0178] The robust feasible region requirement for the mainnet is that for each reported typical scenario s, when the boundary interaction power fluctuates arbitrarily within the interval described by its affine form, i.e., the noise element... When ∈[−1,1], the voltage amplitude of all critical nodes in the main network must always meet the upper and lower limits of safe operation constraints:
[0179]
[0180] in , These represent the lower and upper limits of the node voltage amplitude, respectively.
[0181] To ensure this robustness constraint holds, the voltage deviation under worst-case conditions must be considered. According to the interval operation rules of affine arithmetic, the above constraints can be transformed into a set of deterministic inequality constraints without uncertain variables. For the upper voltage limit constraint:
[0182]
[0183] Since the expression is linear, the maximum value is at the endpoints. Therefore, it is equivalent to:
[0184]
[0185] Similarly, for the lower voltage limit constraint:
[0186]
[0187] The integrated analysis model of main grid balancing capacity can be expressed as a main grid optimization problem considering multiple scenarios. The objective function can be to maximize the main grid's capacity to accommodate new energy sources, minimize total operating costs, or maximize system balance margin, etc.
[0188] For each typical scenario *s*, the main grid node voltage must meet safety constraints to ensure system operational feasibility under that scenario. The linearized relationship between voltage and power injection is as follows:
[0189]
[0190] in Let be the voltage value of node r at time t in scenario s. Let be the voltage value of node r at time t under the baseline state. Let be the partial derivative of the voltage at node r with respect to the power injected into the distribution network at node k. Let be the planned power injection into the distribution network k at time t under baseline conditions. Voltage safety constraints require that the voltage remain within safe limits for all typical scenarios s:
[0191]
[0192] in Let be the lower limit of the voltage safety for node r at time t. Let be the upper limit of the safe voltage of node r at time t.
[0193] Substituting the voltage expression into the safety constraints, we get:

[0201] The initialization module is used to collect data on the structure and equipment parameters of the main power distribution network, providing basic support for the rapid assessment of subsequent power balance capabilities.
[0202] The main and distribution integrated multi-timescale balancing capacity analysis architecture construction module is used to build a main and distribution collaborative analysis framework with dual timescales of day-ahead hourly level and intraday 15-minute level. It fully considers the time response differences of various types of controllable resources such as thermal power units, energy storage systems, and flexible loads, and realizes two-way interaction and collaborative balancing from slow to fast and from planned to real-time, providing a time-series basis for subsequent accurate assessment.

It also achieves effective coordination between the main and distribution networks through boundary coupling constraints, forming a unified main and distribution collaborative optimization framework.
[0204] The module for generating typical scenarios of source-load uncertainty is used to perform probabilistic modeling of the output of new energy sources and load fluctuations in the main grid and distribution network using kernel density estimation and Copula function. It generates a set of typical scenarios that reflect spatiotemporal correlations and selects key scenarios through net fluctuation intensity index, providing a structured quantitative method and probabilistic basis for uncertainty in the assessment of the power balance capability of the main grid and distribution network.
[0205] The distribution network balancing capacity analysis module is used to verify the operational feasibility based on typical scenarios. By solving an optimization problem with the goal of maximizing slack variables, it quantifies the balancing capacity of the distribution network under uncertain environments, calculates the feasible range of power interaction with the main grid, and reports key boundary information to the main grid side.
[0206] The integrated analysis module for main and distribution network balancing capacity based on robust feasible region is used to characterize the upper and lower limits of balancing capacity reported by the distribution network side using affine functions. It integrates affine mathematics and linearized voltage-power mapping model to construct a robust feasible region evaluation model for main and distribution network coordination, ensuring that key operating parameters of the main network meet safety constraints under uncertain fluctuations in boundary interactive power.
