Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power distribution automation technology, specifically relating to a method and system for regulating resources that integrate photovoltaic, energy storage, and charging piles. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is characterized by significant intermittency and volatility. Its large-scale, high-proportion integration into traditional distribution networks poses a severe challenge to the operation and control of existing power grids. Taking some areas as an example, the installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power has exceeded 100% of the local load demand, leading to frequent problems such as distribution transformers being severely overloaded due to reverse power flow and voltage exceeding limits at distribution nodes during peak photovoltaic power generation periods. These issues seriously threaten the safe and stable operation of the power grid and power quality. This phenomenon profoundly exposes the limitations of traditional distribution networks in planning, design, and operation control: they lack the ability to effectively aggregate, accurately sense, and coordinate the massive, dispersed, and heterogeneous flexible resources (such as photovoltaics, energy storage, and charging piles) on the low-voltage side of distribution areas.
[0003] Currently, common solutions to the aforementioned problems often focus on the independent regulation of single-type resources or rely on local control strategies with delayed responses and a lack of coordination. For example, simply limiting photovoltaic output will reduce the utilization rate of new energy sources, resulting in "curtailment"; while independently adjusting energy storage or charging piles can alleviate some pressure, it is difficult to achieve system-level global optimization. Microgrid technology is considered a key path to solving resource coordination, its core being the integration of previously independently operating resources such as photovoltaics, energy storage, and charging piles into a controllable whole. However, how to achieve efficient aggregation and multi-timescale coordinated optimization of these heterogeneous resources, especially under the premise of meeting the safety operation constraints of the distribution area (such as transformers not being overloaded and voltage not exceeding limits), while simultaneously improving the local photovoltaic absorption rate and the economic efficiency of user electricity consumption, remains a challenge for current technology. Existing technologies lack a coordinated regulation method that can balance global optimization and real-time response, as well as safety constraints and economic goals. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0035] 1) Addressing the urgent need for safe and stable operation of distribution substations with high photovoltaic (PV) integration, this invention achieves precise perception and collaborative control of massive distributed resources. Through a "cloud-edge-device" collaborative architecture, it aggregates previously disordered and difficult-to-manage rooftop PV, user-side energy storage, and electric vehicle charging piles into a unified virtual scheduling system. This effectively solves problems such as reverse overload of distribution transformers and node voltage exceeding limits caused by power backfeeding, significantly improving the safety carrying capacity and operational stability of the distribution network.
[0036] 2) A coordinated regulation method based on multi-timescale optimization and model predictive control (MPC) is proposed to improve the local consumption rate of new energy and the economic efficiency of user electricity consumption. This method dynamically adjusts the charging plan of charging piles and the charging and discharging strategy of energy storage through day-ahead planning, intraday rolling, and real-time correction, and only applies flexible power curtailment to photovoltaic power when necessary, prioritizing load matching and power generation. This ensures that most of the surplus photovoltaic power is consumed locally within the distribution area, effectively reducing the phenomenon of "curtailment" and lowering the overall electricity cost for users.
[0037] 3) A cloud-edge collaborative closed-loop control architecture was constructed, improving the real-time performance and reliability of system control. By placing complex global optimization calculations in the cloud and fast-response real-time control at the edge, this invention utilizes the powerful computing capabilities of the cloud while ensuring autonomous closed-loop control capabilities at the edge in extreme situations such as communication interruptions. This achieves millisecond-level response to changes in the state of the transformer area, ensuring the timeliness of regulation and the robustness of the system.
[0038] 4) A dynamic adjustment priority mechanism with safety as its core is introduced to optimize the utilization efficiency of flexible resources. This invention establishes an adjustment sequence of "adjusting charging load first, then scheduling energy storage, and finally limiting photovoltaic power." This strategy, while ensuring grid security, respects users' electricity consumption intentions to the greatest extent, fully leverages the adjustment potential of flexible resources such as charging piles and energy storage, and achieves optimal safety control at the lowest economic cost.
[0039] 5) A closed-loop feedback-based continuous system performance evaluation and self-learning mechanism was established, enabling online evaluation and early warning of network security and operational efficiency. By continuously comparing optimization targets with actual operating results, the system can evaluate the effectiveness of the current control strategy in real time and use historical data for self-learning to correct the prediction model. When operational indicators deviate from safety thresholds or performance declines, the system can issue timely warnings and automatically adjust strategies, thereby ensuring the long-term efficient and stable operation of the aggregated control system.

[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments.
[0042] To address the refined regulation needs of distribution substations in the context of new power systems, which require high-proportion photovoltaic integration and diversified load growth, "cloud-edge-device" collaborative control with real-time sensing, intelligent decision-making, and collaborative execution capabilities has become crucial. This system demands extremely high security in terms of data real-time performance, control reliability, and policy adaptability. Unlike traditional independent, decentralized, and slow-responding local control methods, this approach requires unified aggregation and dynamic optimization of massive heterogeneous terminals, placing specific demands on low latency, high reliability of communication networks, and the computing power of edge nodes.

It consists of a cloud-based aggregation control platform, intelligent gateway controllers installed in the distribution transformer areas, and widely distributed photovoltaic inverters, energy storage converters, and smart charging piles. Through resource virtualization and collaborative optimization technologies, it aggregates dispersed source-storage-load resources into a controllable and scalable whole, effectively solving the problems of voltage exceeding limits, transformer overload, and photovoltaic power consumption in distribution transformer areas.

This controller needs to have multiple power data acquisition ports, strong edge computing capabilities, and at least two communication modules (such as 4G / 5G, fiber optic Ethernet, power line carrier communication HPLC, or low-power wireless).
[0047] Terminal equipment upgrade and connection: Connect the photovoltaic inverters, energy storage converters, and smart charging piles in the transformer substation to the smart gateway via the communication network.

[0066] Ultra-short-term forecasting: The cloud platform performs rolling ultra-short-term forecasts of photovoltaic power generation (15 minutes to 4 hours in the future) based on historical data, real-time meteorological information (irradiance, cloud cover) and machine learning algorithms. At the same time, it forecasts charging load based on historical charging behavior data and real-time requests.
[0067] 3. Multi-timescale optimization and model predictive control strategies
[0068] Daily / Intraday Optimization (Cloud-based): Based on forecast data, the aggregated control platform establishes an optimization model with a 24-hour or several-hours-forward cycle and multiple objectives, prioritizing transformer area safety, maximizing photovoltaic (PV) consumption, and minimizing user electricity costs. This model solves for the optimal reference operating plan for each resource, with the core adjustment priority being: first, adjust charging load → second, dispatch energy storage → finally, limit PV output. This plan is then distributed to the transformer area's smart gateway as the execution benchmark.
[0069] Real-time rolling optimization (edge): Based on a reference plan distributed from the cloud and combined with locally collected real-time data, the intelligent gateway controller uses the Model Predictive Control (MPC) method to perform rolling optimization every 5-15 minutes. The MPC controller solves a finite-time optimal control problem and dynamically adjusts the power setpoints of each resource to cope with prediction errors and unexpected situations, achieving precise real-time control.

[0073] For energy storage systems: Generate charge / discharge power commands (e.g., charge at 20kW for 2 hours).
[0074] For photovoltaic inverters: In extreme cases, generate maximum output limit commands (such as limiting output power to 80% of rated capacity).
[0075] Security Verification and Command Issuance: Before executing a command, the smart gateway performs a local security verification to prevent command conflicts or devices exceeding their limits. After successful verification, the command is issued to each terminal device for execution within milliseconds via a reliable communication channel.
[0076] 5. Closed-loop feedback and adaptive optimization
[0077] Performance monitoring: The smart gateway continuously monitors the actual status changes in the command execution background area, such as whether the transformer load has returned to a safe range, whether the voltage is stable, and the actual photovoltaic absorption rate.
[0078] Feedback and Correction: This real-time performance data is fed back to the cloud platform. The platform compares the actual operating status with the optimization expectations. If there is a significant deviation, it triggers the self-tuning of the optimization algorithm's parameters or starts a new cycle of optimization calculations.
[0079] Adaptive learning: The system accumulates data through long-term operation and uses machine learning algorithms to continuously correct prediction models and optimize strategies, thereby improving adaptability and control accuracy for future scenarios.
