Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power distribution network planning technology, and more specifically, relates to a power distribution network resource planning method and system that takes into account the flexibility of distribution networks and data centers. Background Technology
[0002] With the transformation of the global energy structure and the advancement of digitalization, distributed generation and data centers are gradually becoming important components of modern power distribution networks. Distributed generation (DG), such as solar and wind power, has been widely used around the world due to its sustainability and environmentally friendly characteristics. However, while improving energy efficiency, distributed generation also brings new challenges to the stable operation of power distribution networks, particularly in terms of the instability and volatility of energy output. These issues lead to the overreach of power distribution network operations, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of power supply.
[0003] Meanwhile, with the rapid development of the internet and cloud computing, the scale and number of data centers have also increased dramatically. As modern information technology infrastructure, data centers have extremely high electricity demands and experience significant load fluctuations. Peak electricity demand from data centers typically occurs during periods of power shortage, which is highly correlated with the load demand of the power distribution network. Therefore, how to flexibly adjust the load of data centers and coordinate it with the load demand of the power distribution network has become an important direction for current power system optimization.
[0004] To address the above issues, recent research has focused on combining distributed energy storage with data center load regulation. This involves collaboratively planning energy storage configurations, load shifting schemes, and communication network topologies to address the limit-crossing problems caused by distributed generation integration into the distribution network. In particular, the power regulation and voltage regulation characteristics of distributed energy storage systems can effectively balance load fluctuations in the power grid. Meanwhile, data centers, through their potential for spatiotemporal load shifting, can adjust their power demand at different times, thereby avoiding excessive pressure on the power grid during peak load periods.
[0005] Currently, although some distribution network optimization methods involve energy storage systems and load dispatch, most methods are limited to single power load forecasting or energy storage unit configuration, and do not fully consider the combined effects of distributed generation and data center flexibility.

The initial optimization results of the energy storage capacity configuration and initial power output scheduling scheme in Step 2 and the transfer volume and target time period allocation of each data center in Step 3 are used as the initial solutions to solve the coordinating optimization model and obtain the final deployed coordinating scheduling scheme.
[0083] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, step 5 specifically includes: Step 5.1: Using energy storage output, energy storage capacity, and data center load transfer as joint decision variables, construct the main objective of the collaborative optimization model, expressed by the following formula:

[0087] Understandably, this formula allows the energy storage output and the data center transfer volume to work together on the node's net load, thereby achieving coordinated scheduling in the same optimization.
[0088] Step 5.3: Solve the objective function from Step 5.1 and the constraints from Step 5.2 together, and then apply the initial optimized output results of energy storage and data center load from Steps 2 and 3. and Substituting these values as initial inputs, we can obtain the joint optimization result, which is the output of energy storage and data center load. and .

Higher communication availability generally indicates better reliability. The closer to 1, the greater the reliance on online collaborative optimization instructions; when communication degrades, A value close to 0 indicates a greater adoption of local security strategies. This is the minimum communication reliability indicator, which can be set to 0.7 based on expert experience.

[0114] The present invention will now be further described with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0115] This embodiment uses an IEEE 33-node distribution network system as the experimental object, which includes multiple distributed generation units and several large-scale data centers. Based on this, simulation analysis of distribution network optimization scheduling was conducted to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method in a real-world scenario.
[0116] In this specific embodiment, the distribution network overview is as follows, and the topology is as follows: Figure 2 As shown: This power distribution network is located in an area of a city, covering a total of 33 distribution nodes, including multiple solar and wind power generation units. The load demand in this area exhibits significant spatiotemporal fluctuations, especially during peak summer and winter periods, when load fluctuations are substantial. Meanwhile, the three major data centers in the area have high power demands, and their load fluctuations vary depending on their business operations.
[0117] The optimal planning method for distribution network resources, which considers distributed generation and data center flexibility as described in Example 1, includes the following steps: Distributed generation forecasting and load analysis are performed according to step 1 of Example 1. Specifically, historical load data and meteorological data are used to predict distributed generation using a machine learning-based forecasting model. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm is used to predict the power generation of solar and wind power. After training on data from the past 5 years, the model can accurately predict hourly power generation fluctuations.
[0118] Following step 2 of Example 1, energy storage system scheduling and grid optimization are performed. Specifically, a distributed energy storage system is used to balance power fluctuations in the distribution network. Based on the power regulation characteristics of distributed energy storage, a power scheduling model for the energy storage system is designed. The scheduling of the energy storage system must not only meet the load demand of the distribution network but also consider the maximum output power and charging / discharging efficiency of the energy storage units. The optimization objective of energy storage power scheduling is to minimize power losses and ensure grid reliability.
[0119] According to step 3 of Example 1, data center load transfer and scheduling are carried out. Specifically, considering that the data center load fluctuates greatly, a load transfer algorithm is used to transfer the power demand of the data center in time and space. By analyzing the historical load data of the data center, the time and space pattern of its load fluctuation is determined, and then a suitable load transfer strategy is designed based on these patterns.
[0120] Following step 4 of Example 1, communication network topology optimization is performed. Specifically, real-time data transmission of the communication network is crucial during load scheduling in power distribution networks and data centers. Therefore, this example employs graph theory to optimize the communication network topology in the power distribution network. First, the optimal communication path for each node is calculated by real-time prediction of power demand and load changes. Then, based on these calculation results, the shortest path algorithm in graph theory is used to optimize the communication network topology, ensuring efficient data transmission and real-time scheduling.
[0121] Following step 5 of Example 1, collaborative optimization and overall scheduling are performed. Specifically, a collaborative optimization algorithm is used to jointly schedule all resources.
