Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system planning technology, specifically relating to a multi-stage planning method for distribution network structure that considers the evolution and development of multiple types of source loads. Background Technology
[0002] The power distribution network is gradually transforming from a simple power network that receives and distributes electricity to users into a new type of power network that integrates and interacts with power sources, grids, loads, and storage, and flexibly couples with the upper-level grid. Its role in promoting the local consumption of distributed power sources and supporting new types of loads is increasingly important. Meanwhile, driven by the rapid development of distributed energy, energy storage, and diverse loads, the power distribution network's source-load structure is changing more significantly, and its construction and operation modes are becoming more flexible and diverse. This poses a significant challenge to its coordinated planning, necessitating adjustments to power distribution network planning schemes to adapt to the evolution of multiple types of source loads.
[0003] In current power distribution network planning practices, traditional methods typically employ a single-stage static planning model, simplifying the planning problem into an optimization decision under a specific year or scenario, neglecting the inherent temporal evolution characteristics of the power system. While some existing technologies have introduced multi-stage planning concepts, they often employ independent planning or simple interconnections between stages, failing to establish an intrinsic evolutionary correlation mechanism between planning stages. Particularly when facing complex environments with high proportions of distributed generation and rapidly changing load patterns, traditional planning methods struggle to guarantee the consistency and adaptability of the planning scheme over time, easily leading to the failure of early investments or the need for premature modifications, resulting in resource waste.
[0004] In terms of source-load forecasting technology, existing distribution network planning often uses a single forecasting model to process source-load data, or only considers the static distribution characteristics of source loads. It lacks differentiated modeling of the output characteristics of different types of distributed energy (such as wind power and photovoltaics), and a precise grasp of the evolution patterns of diverse loads from residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Furthermore, when dealing with the uncertainty of the spatiotemporal distribution of source loads, existing technologies often resort to simple methods such as increasing safety margins or setting extreme scenarios, failing to establish a highly adaptive planning decision-making mechanism at the level of source-load evolution mechanisms. This approach may not only lead to overly conservative planning schemes and increased unnecessary investment costs, but may also cause a significant decline in the technical and economic performance of the planning scheme when the actual evolution of source loads deviates from the forecast.
[0005] Furthermore, the evolutionary characteristics of distribution network topology have not been adequately considered in existing planning methods. Traditional methods often treat network structure adjustments between different planning stages as independent decision-making problems, neglecting the inheritance and evolutionary patterns of the power grid topology over time. In practical engineering applications, this disconnected planning approach easily leads to frequent and significant adjustments to the power grid structure, increasing construction and operation costs and potentially affecting power supply reliability. While complex network theory has been applied in power system analysis, effectively characterizing and utilizing the evolutionary characteristics of network topology within the framework of multi-stage distribution network planning, and establishing a planning model that balances technical economy and structural continuity, remains a pressing technical challenge.
[0006] Therefore, existing research on distribution network planning mainly focuses on the optimization planning of distribution networks under specific scenarios, often modifying and expanding specific lines based on the needs of the current development stage, without comprehensively considering the impact of the multi-stage evolution of sources and loads. Current technologies, when dealing with multi-stage planning problems, lack a systematic consideration of the evolutionary laws of the power grid topology and have failed to establish a planning decision-making mechanism adapted to the temporal characteristics of sources and loads, resulting in insufficient adaptability of planning schemes in the face of long-term evolutionary environments. Therefore, it is still necessary to comprehensively consider the resource endowments and future growth trends of various types of sources and loads, and to conduct research on multi-stage planning methods for distribution network architecture that consider the evolution of various types of sources and loads, providing technical support for the sustainable construction and development of distribution networks. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies, this invention provides a multi-stage planning method for distribution network architecture that considers the evolution and development of multiple types of source loads, thereby solving the problems that existing distribution network architecture planning does not adequately consider the multi-stage evolution and development of source loads and is difficult to adapt to the dynamic changes in source load morphology under new power systems.
[0008] This method first analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of various types of distributed power sources (including distributed photovoltaic and wind power) and various types of loads (including residential, commercial, and industrial loads) in conjunction with the current status of the distribution network in the area to be planned. It then establishes a prediction model for the evolution and development of various types of source and load using a combination of data-driven and trend analysis. The data-driven part extracts the temporal features of source and load by improving the long short-term memory neural network and introduces appropriate feature parameters or temporal features to optimize the classification and prediction accuracy by combining the characteristics of different types of source and load. The trend analysis part characterizes the evolution trend of source and load by combining grey prediction with multi-scenario analysis. It introduces correction coefficients that are dynamically adjusted with the planning period for three scenarios: baseline, high growth, and conservative. Finally, it generates typical source and load scenarios for multiple continuous planning stages.
[0009] Subsequently, based on typical source and load scenarios at each planning stage, multi-scenario operation analysis of the distribution network was carried out. Data such as node voltage, line transmission power, and network loss were obtained through power flow calculation tools. Combined with a multi-dimensional evaluation index set (including node-level, line-level, and regional-level indicators) divided according to the distribution network level, a multi-stage quantitative evaluation of the weak links of the distribution network was conducted: first, the indicators were standardized according to preset principles, and then the comprehensive weight of the indicators was determined by combining the analytic hierarchy process and the entropy weight method. The comprehensive scores of nodes, lines, and regions were calculated according to the weights and divided into multiple weak levels to form a multi-stage weak link evaluation result.
[0010] Finally, based on the above evaluation results, complex network theory is used to characterize the topology evolution process of the distribution network between different planning stages. Three types of evolutionary characteristic indicators that reflect the role of node hubs, the local clustering characteristics of the network, and the degree of topological similarity between adjacent stages are extracted. Then, a multi-stage planning model of the distribution network structure covering multiple objectives and multiple constraints is established: the optimization objectives are total planning cost, voltage deviation, and line load rate. The constraints include operational constraints based on the physical characteristics of the distribution network, network topology constraints to ensure the rationality of the network structure, and multi-stage collaborative constraints based on topology evolution characteristic indicators (used to limit structural abrupt changes in the planning scheme between consecutive stages). After solving the model, a multi-stage planning scheme for the distribution network structure is obtained, which can realize the scientific, rational, and orderly planning of the distribution network structure and provide technical support for the sustainable construction and development of the distribution network under the widespread access of multiple types of sources and loads.
[0011] The specific technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is as follows:
[0012] A multi-stage planning method for distribution network architecture that considers the evolution of multiple types of source loads includes:
[0013] Based on the source and load data of the area to be planned, the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of multiple types of distributed power sources and multiple types of loads are analyzed. A prediction model for the evolution and development of multiple types of source and loads is established by combining data-driven and trend analysis methods, and typical source and load scenarios for multiple consecutive planning years are generated.
[0014] Based on the typical source and load scenarios of each planning level year, the distribution network is analyzed in multiple scenarios. Combined with a multi-dimensional evaluation index set, the weak links of the distribution network in each planning level year are quantitatively evaluated, and the evaluation results of weak links in multiple stages are obtained.
[0015] Based on the assessment results of the multi-stage weak links, a multi-stage planning model of the distribution network is constructed and solved to obtain a multi-stage planning scheme for the distribution network.
[0016] The construction of the multi-stage planning model for the power distribution network includes:
[0017] Establish a multi-objective function with total planning cost, voltage deviation, and line load rate as optimization objectives;
[0018] The constraints are constructed, including operational constraints based on the physical characteristics of the distribution network, network topology constraints to ensure the rationality of the network structure, and multi-stage collaborative constraints to limit structural changes in the planning scheme during consecutive planning years.
[0019] The multi-stage collaborative constraints are constructed based on complex network theory. By extracting the evolutionary characteristic indicators of the distribution network topology in adjacent planning years and transforming them into constraints, the topological continuity and evolutionary rationality of the distribution network structure in multi-stage planning are realized.
[0020] Furthermore, in the data-driven and trend analysis combined approach, the data-driven part is implemented using an improved Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, specifically including:
[0021] The input, hidden, and output layer structures of the long short-term memory neural network are optimized and improved. A loss function is constructed by combining root mean square error with a regularization term to avoid overfitting of the prediction model. The loss function is associated with the true value, predicted value, and model weight parameters of the source load data samples.
[0022] To address the need for classification and forecasting of various types of source loads, and in combination with the output characteristics of wind power and photovoltaic power, as well as the electricity consumption characteristics of residential, commercial, and industrial loads, characteristic parameters or time-series characteristics adapted to each type of source load are introduced to improve the relevance and accuracy of classification and forecasting.
[0023] Furthermore, in the data-driven and trend analysis combined approach, the trend analysis portion is implemented using a combination of grey prediction and scenario analysis, specifically including:
[0024] The historical data of the source load are accumulated to generate an intermediate sequence. A linear differential equation containing the development coefficient and the gray action parameter is established based on the intermediate sequence, and the parameters are solved by the least squares method.
[0025] The predicted values of the intermediate sequence are obtained based on the solved differential equations, and then the predicted values of the original source load sequence are obtained by cumulative subtraction and restoration.
[0026] The grey prediction results are corrected by introducing scenario coefficients for the baseline scenario, high-growth scenario, and conservative scenario. Each scenario coefficient is dynamically adjusted according to the difference between the planning level year and the baseline year. The prediction value of each scenario is the product of the grey prediction result and the corresponding scenario coefficient.
[0027] Furthermore, the typical source-load scenario for multiple consecutive planning horizontal years is generated, specifically including:
[0028] Based on the multi-type source load evolution and development prediction model, hourly source load power curves are generated for the entire year of each planning level.
[0029] For each planning year, the hourly source load power curves are divided by season to form the initial source load scenario set for each season. Each initial scenario records the hourly power data of multiple types of source loads on a single day.
[0030] A quantitative method is used to characterize the difference between any two initial scenarios. Then, the initial source load scenario set for each season is reduced by a scenario reduction method to obtain the typical source load scenarios for each season in each planning year.
[0031] Furthermore, the multi-dimensional evaluation index set is divided into the following levels according to the distribution network: node-level indicators, line-level indicators, and regional-level indicators:
[0032] The node-level indicators are used to evaluate the structural rationality and load distribution balance of distribution network nodes, and are calculated based on the total number of nodes, the number of branch lines connected to each node, and node load data.
[0033] The line-level indicators are used to evaluate the load status and energy consumption level of distribution network lines, and are calculated based on line transmission power, rated transmission capacity and network loss data.
[0034] The regional indicators are used to evaluate the source-load matching degree and distributed power absorption capacity of a designated area of the distribution network, and are calculated based on the power output, load power and abandoned power data of the area.
[0035] Furthermore, a multi-stage quantitative assessment of weak links in the distribution network is conducted, specifically including:
[0036] The evaluation indicators are standardized according to the principle of "maximizing positive indicators and minimizing negative indicators", and the original indicator values are transformed into standardized values with a unified range of values.
[0037] The comprehensive weight of each evaluation indicator is determined by combining subjective weight and objective weight. The subjective weight is determined by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and the objective weight is calculated by the entropy weight method.
[0038] For distribution network nodes, lines, and designated areas, evaluation indicators of the corresponding levels are selected and weighted according to comprehensive weights to obtain a comprehensive score;
[0039] The weakness of distribution network nodes, lines and areas is divided into multiple levels based on the comprehensive score, and the level classification results constitute the multi-stage weakness assessment results.
[0040] Furthermore, the evolutionary characteristic indicators are extracted from the distribution network topology based on complex network theory and are divided into three categories according to function:
[0041] The first type of index characterizes the pivotal role of a node in the distribution network topology and is calculated based on the distribution characteristics of the shortest path between nodes.
[0042] The second type of index characterizes the local clustering characteristics of the distribution network topology and is calculated based on the connection relationship between node neighbors;
[0043] The third type of index characterizes the similarity of distribution network topologies in adjacent planning years and is used to determine the stationarity of topology evolution.
[0044] Furthermore, the topological evolution constraints in the multi-stage cooperative constraints include:
[0045] Node stability constraint: Limit the change in the hub function index of the same node in adjacent planning years to not exceed a preset threshold;
[0046] Clustering coefficient evolution constraint: restrict the local clustering characteristics of the distribution network in the current planning level year to be no less than the reasonable attenuation range of the previous planning level year;
[0047] Topology similarity constraint: The topology similarity between adjacent planning year distribution networks is limited to a preset lower limit to ensure topology continuity.
[0048] Furthermore, when conducting multi-scenario operation analysis of the distribution network, the node voltage, line transmission power, and network loss data of the distribution network under different source and load scenarios in each planning level year are obtained through power flow calculation tools, providing data support for subsequent quantitative assessment of weak links.
[0049] And a computer device including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the method described above.
[0050] A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method described above.
[0051] Compared with the prior art, the present invention and its preferred embodiments have at least the following beneficial effects:
[0052] It can more accurately adapt to the dynamic evolution characteristics of various types of loads, solving the problem that existing planning does not adequately consider the multi-stage development of loads. Through a prediction model that combines data-driven and trend analysis, it not only uses an improved long short-term memory neural network to capture the temporal patterns of loads, but also covers different evolution trends through multi-scenario grey prediction. Furthermore, it can introduce adaptive features to optimize prediction accuracy for wind power, photovoltaics, and various types of loads. The resulting multi-stage typical load scenarios are more in line with actual planning needs, providing a precise source load input basis for subsequent planning.
[0053] This approach enables multi-dimensional and multi-stage quantitative assessment of weak links in the distribution network, avoiding the limitations of existing assessment methods that are singular or static. Through a hierarchical set of assessment indicators at the node, line, and regional levels, combined with a weighted calculation method that integrates subjective and objective factors, it comprehensively covers dimensions such as the rationality of the distribution network structure, power supply quality, operational balance, and economy. Furthermore, it dynamically assesses and classifies weaknesses according to planning stages, accurately pinpointing network shortcomings at different stages and providing targeted optimization directions for the planning model.
[0054] To ensure the continuity and rational evolution of the distribution network structure in multi-stage planning, and to overcome the shortcomings of insufficient connection between existing planning stages and the susceptibility to structural abrupt changes, this study utilizes complex network theory to extract evolutionary characteristic indicators reflecting the hub role of nodes, network aggregation characteristics, and topological similarity. These indicators are then transformed into multi-stage collaborative constraints, effectively limiting drastic changes in the planning scheme between consecutive stages. This ensures a smooth transition of the network structure with the evolution of source loads, reducing the cost waste and power outage risks caused by frequent modifications.
[0055] The constructed multi-objective programming model balances economy and security, and is more in line with the actual construction needs of distribution networks than existing single-objective programming models. The model uses total planning cost, voltage deviation, and line load rate as optimization objectives, while incorporating distribution network physical operation constraints and network topology constraints. It can control construction and operation and maintenance costs while ensuring stable power supply voltage and balanced line load, thus achieving scientific planning of the distribution network.
[0056] In summary, this invention forms a complete technical chain of source load prediction, weakness assessment, topology constraints, and multi-stage modeling, which can provide a sustainable planning solution for new distribution networks with wide access to multiple types of source loads and provide technical support for the orderly construction of distribution networks under the new power system.

[0063] To address the problem that existing distribution network planning does not adequately consider the multi-stage evolution of source loads, this invention proposes a multi-stage planning method for distribution network that considers the evolution of multiple types of source loads.
[0064] To achieve the multi-stage planning scheme for the distribution network that considers the evolution and development of multiple types of source loads in this embodiment, its core multi-type source load evolution and development prediction process is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0065] First, based on the current status of the power distribution network in the area to be planned, we analyze the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of various types of distributed power sources (including distributed photovoltaic and wind power) and various types of loads (including residential, commercial and industrial loads), and extract the key characteristics (including time characteristics, meteorological characteristics and socio-economic characteristics) that affect the growth and evolution of power sources and loads.
[0066] Next, a prediction model combining data-driven and trend analysis is constructed. The data-driven part extracts the temporal features of source loads by improving the long short-term memory neural network, and introduces adaptive parameters or features to optimize the prediction accuracy by combining the characteristics of different types of source loads. The trend analysis part generates the basic trend of source load evolution through gray prediction, and introduces dynamic correction coefficients for three scenarios: baseline, high growth, and conservative.
[0067] The two types of prediction results are then merged according to preset weights to obtain a comprehensive prediction result for multiple types of source loads.
[0068] Finally, based on the comprehensive forecast results, typical source-load scenarios for each stage of the distribution network in terms of seasons are generated for the short-term, medium-term and long-term planning stages, providing basic input for subsequent multi-scenario power flow analysis and weak link assessment of the distribution network.

[0150] Based on the technical solutions provided by the above embodiments of the present invention, the problem of insufficient consideration of the impact of the multi-stage evolution of source loads in the current distribution network planning can be effectively solved:
[0151] First, a multi-type source-load evolution prediction model is established based on data-driven and trend analysis methods, generating typical source-load scenarios for the short-term, medium-term, and long-term planning stages of the distribution network. Second, Matpower is used to conduct multi-scenario power flow analysis of the distribution network, and a multi-dimensional evaluation index set is constructed to quantitatively evaluate the weak links of the distribution network in multiple stages. Then, complex network theory is used to characterize the distribution network topology evolution process between different stages, thereby establishing a multi-stage planning model for the distribution network structure that covers multiple objectives and constraints, and solving for the multi-stage planning scheme of the distribution network structure. This invention can overcome the shortcomings of traditional distribution network structure planning, which focuses on specific scenarios and development stages and fails to fully consider the multi-stage evolution of source loads. It provides a scheme reference for the planning and construction of distribution networks with widespread access to multiple types of source loads, realizing the scientific, rational, and orderly planning of the distribution network structure (e.g., through multi-stage collaborative constraints, the topological similarity between adjacent stages is significantly improved, avoiding planning scheme jumps), and providing technical support for the sustainable construction and development of new distribution systems.
