Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of smart distribution network, distributed energy management and energy internet technology, and in particular, it is a method and system for mutual regulation and control of microgrids in distribution areas that considers flexible interconnection devices and topological flexibility. Background Technology
[0002] The high proportion of distributed renewable energy (such as photovoltaic and wind power) is gradually becoming the norm for distribution network operation. At the same time, the rapid development of power electronics and information technology, as well as the large-scale integration of new loads such as electric vehicles and distributed energy storage, have significantly changed the operating characteristics of distribution network areas, and their uncertainty, dynamism, and complexity are constantly increasing.
[0003] On the one hand, the volatility and unpredictability of distributed energy significantly increase the operational risks of the distribution network. Photovoltaic output is severely affected by weather conditions, easily leading to problems such as voltage exceeding limits and power flow reversal; at the same time, the accumulation of renewable energy output prediction errors makes it difficult for traditional scheduling modes based on deterministic plans to guarantee real-time performance and reliability. The operation of the power grid under high-proportion renewable energy integration exhibits complex characteristics of multi-timescale coupling and multi-source randomness superposition.
[0004] On the other hand, while the types of flexible resources at the distribution substation level are abundant, their utilization efficiency is low. Typical resources include battery energy storage systems (BESS), electric vehicles (EVs), and interruptible loads on the user side. Energy storage has rapid adjustment capabilities, but under isolated operation conditions in a single distribution substation, its charging and discharging behavior is limited by local load and electricity price changes, making system-level coordinated optimization impossible. Electric vehicles, as mobile energy storage units, have increased load fluctuations due to their random charging characteristics and the uncertainty of travel behavior. While building loads such as HVAC systems are adjustable, they struggle to participate in rapid dynamic response while ensuring comfort. Overall, the potential flexibility of various resources within a distribution substation has not been fully explored, and the mechanism for cross-distribution substation collaborative optimization remains imperfect.
[0005] Furthermore, existing distribution network dispatching methods generally suffer from fixed topology structures and limited optimization strategies. Traditional dispatching is primarily based on centralized optimization models, requiring modeling and unified solutions for the entire system, resulting in high computational complexity, heavy communication load, and poor real-time performance. While heuristic or rule-based dispatching methods offer fast computation speeds, they lack adaptability and coordination, making it difficult to balance economy and security. In operating environments with high renewable energy penetration, frequent power flow reversals, and significant voltage limit exceedance risks, relying solely on static distribution network structures and isolated dispatching methods is insufficient to meet the demands for flexible operation.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for a collaborative scheduling method that integrates the power flow regulation capabilities of flexible interconnected devices (SOPs) with topology flexibility reconfiguration mechanisms. This method would enable active energy sharing and dynamic structural optimization between distribution substations, synergistically leveraging the comprehensive regulation capabilities of energy storage and distributed energy sources. Ultimately, this would allow for the economical, efficient, and clean operation of the distribution network while ensuring power quality and network security. Summary of the Invention

Through this constraint, the distribution network power flow calculation and SOP coordinated control are coupled, enabling the SOP adjustment behavior to affect the power flow, voltage, and distributed photovoltaic absorption capacity in real time. This is a core step in constructing a new distribution network power flow model with multi-terminal interconnection of power electronics.
[0105] Topology flexibility constraints
[0106] (3.4)
[0107]
[0108] The above constraints are used to ensure that the distribution network containing flexible interconnection devices forms a uniquely connected, loop-free, reconfigurable radial structure at every moment. Among them, For a moment t On the line The virtual commodity flow variables are used to establish a unified topological logic judgment mechanism; For a moment t Virtual branch The open / closed state is a binary variable, with a value of 1 indicating that the line is closed and 0 indicating that it is open. Represents the root node (Usually chosen as the substation busbar) Injected into the system Unit virtual traffic; formula Ensure that each node except the root node consumes 1 unit of virtual traffic, thereby ensuring that all nodes are connected to the main network; This forces virtual flows to pass only through closed loops, thus binding the virtual flow to the actual topology; Set the number of closed branches as This ensures that the system forms only one spanning tree. Defines the actual switching state of the line. With virtual topology state The logical relationship between them, among which This indicates that the circuit is actually closed. This indicates that the switch is open. This constraint requires that the actual switch state cannot violate the virtual feasible topology, i.e., if... If so, the corresponding line must be disconnected; Then, the line can be closed based on the scheduling strategy. In other words, The representation theory allows for feasible topological spaces, while Select the final actual operating topology within the allowed operating range so that network reconstruction does not disrupt the radiation structure.
[0109] This set of constraints enables simultaneous energy storage scheduling, flexible interconnected power flow configuration, and dynamic distribution network topology optimization during scheduling optimization. This fully leverages the energy routing capabilities and distributed resource utilization potential of the SOP, achieving proactive reconfiguration and inter-distribution operation of the distribution network with power electronic interfaces.
