Description

A method for characterizing the security domain of an active distribution network considering inertia and voltage support Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of active distribution network operation capability assessment and safety boundary analysis, specifically relating to a method for characterizing the safety domain of an active distribution network that considers inertia and voltage support. Background Technology

[0002] As the penetration rate of distributed photovoltaic and energy storage systems in distribution networks continues to increase, traditional distribution networks primarily relying on unidirectional power supply are gradually evolving into active distribution networks with source-load-storage coordinated control capabilities. Simultaneously, the replacement of synchronous rotating motors with a large number of power electronic interface devices has led to a decrease in the system's equivalent inertia level and a weakening of its frequency response capability. During power disturbances or power deficits, the system's frequency change rate may increase, potentially causing malfunctions or actuations of protection devices, thus threatening operational safety. It should be noted that in the context of power electronic distribution networks, the role provided by energy storage devices through virtual inertia control primarily manifests as the availability of inertia support capabilities. Its purpose is to meet the operational requirements and constraints for inertia support, rather than equating it with complete suppression or significant improvement of the frequency change rate.

[0003] The Proportional Qualifying (PQ) safety domain is used to characterize the feasible boundary for the exchange of active / reactive power between the root node of a distribution network and the upstream grid. It is an important tool for measuring the regulation capability and flexibility of a distribution network and can provide a basis for operation verification, boundary assessment, and control decisions. Existing PQ safety domain construction methods are mostly based on steady-state optimal power flow, mainly considering static safety constraints such as node voltage exceeding limits and line capacity exceeding limits. However, in actively managed distribution networks with a high proportion of power electronics, operational feasibility is not only affected by steady-state power flow constraints but also by frequency-related operational constraints such as the capacity to provide inertia support, as well as control characteristic constraints such as inverter voltage-reactive power droop control. If these constraints are ignored during the construction process, the resulting PQ safety domain may be difficult to achieve in actual operation due to insufficient inertia support configuration or limited control characteristics, thereby reducing the engineering applicability and reliability of the safety domain results.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a PQ security domain construction method that explicitly incorporates inertia support to provide capacity constraints and inverter droop control constraints on the basis of steady-state security constraints, so as to achieve a more accurate characterization of the interaction capability boundary between the active distribution network and the main grid, and to provide support for the evaluation of the operating boundary under different inertia support requirement levels. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Objective: The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a method for characterizing the safety domain of an active distribution network that considers inertia and voltage support, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies. This invention introduces virtual inertia demand constraints for energy storage and minimum system inertia demand constraints into the distribution network branch power flow model. Combined with photovoltaic inverter droop control constraints and photovoltaic capacity constraints, an adaptive piecewise linear reconfiguration algorithm is used to efficiently and accurately characterize the PQ feasible domain of the interaction between the root node and the main grid in the active distribution network. Furthermore, a PQ-inertia three-dimensional safety domain can be constructed.

[0006] Technical Solution: To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for characterizing the safety domain of an active distribution network considering inertia and voltage support. The method includes the following steps:

[0008] Step 2: Obtain the load demand and photovoltaic power output data of the distribution network, and establish a branch power flow model of the active distribution network. The model includes power balance constraints of the distribution network, node voltage and branch current constraints, voltage amplitude and line capacity constraints.

[0009] Step 3: Establish an energy storage system operation model that considers virtual inertia support capability. The model includes virtual inertia reserve constraints and system minimum inertia requirement constraints.

[0010] Step 4: Establish an operation model that considers the voltage-reactive power VQ droop control of the photovoltaic inverter. The model includes photovoltaic inverter droop control constraints and photovoltaic capacity constraints.

[0011] Step 5: Based on the mathematical model constructed in Steps 2 to 4, the active power P and reactive power Q exchanged between the substation root node of the distribution network and the main network are used as boundary variables. An adaptive piecewise linear reconstruction algorithm is used to solve for a series of (P,Q) boundary points. The boundary points are then enveloped using the convex hull algorithm to obtain the PQ security domain of the active distribution network. The above construction process is repeated for different minimum inertia requirements by hierarchical slicing to obtain the PQ security domain under different inertia support levels, and the PQ-inertia three-dimensional security domain is output.

[0134] Case Analysis

[0135] The following example illustrates the superiority of the active distribution network security domain characterization method considering inertia and voltage support described in this invention. This invention uses an improved IEEE 33-node distribution system as the test object, as shown in Figure 2. Five photovoltaic and energy storage devices are configured in the system. The photovoltaic system employs a voltage-reactive power (VQ) droop control strategy, while the energy storage provides virtual inertia support capabilities. In this example, this invention constructs the security domain through the GAMS optimization platform.

[0136] To demonstrate the impact of virtual inertia constraints on the power interaction boundary of the distribution network, this invention sets different minimum inertia demand levels and constructs the root node PQ safety domain boundary under each inertia slice using a hierarchical slicing method. Then, the slice results are superimposed along the inertia dimension to obtain the PQ-inertia three-dimensional safety domain surface, as shown in Figure 3. As can be seen from Figure 3, as the minimum inertia demand level gradually increases, the safety domain boundary of the exchangeable active and reactive power between the distribution network root node and the main grid generally shows a shrinking trend, and the P-Q safety domain area decreases. This is because when the inertia demand increases, it occupies the available power margin of the energy storage device, thus reducing the range of active power adjustment that can be exchanged between the distribution network root node and the main grid, hence the decrease in the P-Q safety domain area.

[0137] Furthermore, this invention employs an adaptive piecewise linear reconstruction method to construct the P–Q–inertia three-dimensional safety domain boundary. Compared with the traditional fixed-step radial point-by-point scanning method, this invention can significantly reduce the number of optimal power flow solutions and shorten the overall computation time while maintaining accuracy requirements. At the same time, a comparison of domain volume indices shows that the safety domain volume obtained by this invention is on the same order of magnitude as that of the fixed-step method with a small deviation, indicating that this method still has good three-dimensional safety domain approximation capability while improving efficiency, and is more suitable for rapid reconstruction and online evaluation applications under multi-inertia slice conditions.
