Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system operation and control technology, specifically relating to a method and system for improving the distributed photovoltaic absorption capacity based on power flow calculation. Background Technology
[0002] The contradictions between the surge in installed capacity and the insufficient adaptation of the distribution network, the imperfect market mechanism, and the lagging development of energy storage are becoming increasingly prominent. The phenomenon of "curtailment" in some areas has become the core bottleneck restricting its sustainable development. Furthermore, the output of distributed photovoltaic power is highly intermittent and volatile, and is significantly affected by natural factors such as light intensity, temperature, and weather. This has led to challenges to the stable operation of the power grid after its large-scale grid connection, and the problem of insufficient photovoltaic absorption capacity is becoming increasingly prominent.
[0003] Currently, distributed photovoltaic (PV) power consumption faces the following main problems: First, PV output fluctuates greatly, making it difficult for the distribution network to balance active power in real time. Second, the distribution network has limited regulation capabilities. The topology and equipment parameter design of traditional distribution networks do not fully consider the situation of large-scale distributed PV access. The active power generated by distributed PV cannot be consumed at the same level, leading to problems such as voltage exceeding limits and backflow in some areas. During backflow, the copper loss of the main transformer increases, causing certain losses. At peak backflow, in order to ensure grid frequency security, light and wind curtailment occurs, resulting in a large loss of distributed PV power generation. Third, there is insufficient source-load coordination. There is a lack of effective coordination mechanism between user-side electricity load and PV output, making it impossible to fully utilize user-side flexibility resources to smooth out PV fluctuations. Summary of the Invention

It provides a method and system for improving the distributed photovoltaic power absorption capacity, which can realize intelligent power flow calculation, intuitively display power flow direction, and assist regulators in optimizing grid operation mode. This enables effective regulation of distributed photovoltaic power output and optimized allocation of grid resources, thereby improving the absorption level of distributed photovoltaic power.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for improving the distributed photovoltaic (PV) grid integration capacity based on power flow calculation, comprising the following steps: S1.

Based on the system diagram model of the power grid construction, a colored topology map of the line system is generated, with red representing load absorption and green representing the power flow of distributed photovoltaic power generation, to determine the direction of power flow in the line system. The collected data and calculation results are displayed in the corresponding power flow direction position in the colored topology map of the line system using the corresponding color. S3. With the goal of maximizing distributed photovoltaic (PV) absorption and minimizing grid losses, considering system node voltage upper and lower limits, line power flow limits, reverse overload capacity constraints, and adjustable load adjustment range constraints, an optimized scheduling model for distributed PV, grid interconnection lines, and grid operation modes is obtained.

[0027] Figure 3The diagram shows the 66kV system busbars of a 220kV substation. Substation 1 is connected to both 66kV busbars I and II, with two main transformers absorbing loads of 3.0MW and 2.0MW respectively. Substation 2 is connected to 66kV busbar II, absorbing 2.0MW of load. Substation 3 is connected to 66kV busbar I, absorbing 3.0MW of load. Photovoltaic power stations 1 and 2 are connected to 66kV busbar II, generating 3.0MW and 8MW respectively. The power flow indicator is green when distributed photovoltaic power generation is in operation, red when load is absorbed, and purple when distributed photovoltaic power is fed back. Since the power generation of photovoltaic power station 2 exceeds the load absorbed by substation 2, 6.0MW of distributed photovoltaic power is fed back to the 66kV busbar II. Additionally, photovoltaic power station 1 generates 3.0MW, which can be absorbed by the #2 main transformer of substation 1. Therefore, the 66kV busbar II will feed back 7.0MW of power to the main transformer. At this point, priority is given to distributed photovoltaic (PV) consumption within the system. By adjusting the grid operation mode at the receiving end of the substation, the power supply line of substation 3 is converted to receive PV power from substation 2 for distributed PV consumption. If the PV output is still greater than the load demand, then the PV power supply of substation 2 is converted to the 66 kV system of the 220 kV substation. If there are no other power supply lines, then distributed PV consumption is further achieved by controlling the closing of the 66 kV bus tie switch.
