Background Technology
[0002] With the large-scale integration of photovoltaic, energy storage, and charging microgrids and the rapid development of flexible distribution network technology, traditional distribution network capacity configuration methods face severe challenges. Existing technologies mainly suffer from the following drawbacks: Traditional capacity configuration methods employ a static design concept, determining equipment capacity based on historical maximum loads, which cannot adapt to the dynamic and uncertain characteristics of photovoltaic, energy storage, and charging microgrid output. This method often leads to over-configuration of equipment capacity, resulting in high investment costs, while simultaneously potentially causing capacity shortages under extreme operating conditions.
[0003] Existing reliability assessment methods primarily target traditional distribution network designs, lacking in-depth analysis of the reliability characteristics of new equipment such as flexible interconnect devices, energy storage systems, and electric vehicle charging facilities. Traditional N-1 criteria and average outage time are insufficient to comprehensively reflect the reliability level of flexible distribution networks, especially their system resilience under multiple fault modes and extreme weather conditions.
[0004] Current capacity optimization methods mostly employ deterministic optimization models, lacking effective handling of uncertainties. Factors such as the intermittency of photovoltaic power generation, the state dependence of energy storage systems, and the stochastic nature of electric vehicle charging make it difficult for traditional optimization methods to find the true optimal solution. Furthermore, existing methods lack quantitative analysis tools for balancing economic efficiency and reliability, failing to provide a scientific basis for investment decisions.

The system continuously monitors these actual operating parameters, and once any parameter exceeds its preset safety threshold, the capacity adjustment process is immediately triggered.
[0059] In another optional embodiment, the capacity adjustment trigger mechanism can also be configured for periodic verification. Specifically, a fixed time interval (such as every 24 hours or weekly) is set to periodically evaluate the system configuration. At the end of each time period, regardless of the current operating state of the system, a capacity optimization calculation is forcibly initiated, and an adjustment is determined based on the result.
