Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power grid optimization operation technology, and in particular to a method, system, equipment and medium for comprehensive management of distributed resource distribution networks. Background Technology
[0002] Distributed renewable energy can generate electricity locally, reduce transmission losses, and effectively utilize idle spaces such as rooftops, thereby improving energy efficiency, ensuring power supply reliability, and promoting the consumption and development of renewable energy. Therefore, it has developed rapidly in recent years, with installed capacity growing rapidly, and in some regions it has surpassed the installed capacity of centralized renewable energy. At the same time, distributed resources such as distributed energy storage, micro-turbines, and electric vehicles are also being widely connected to the distribution network, leading to more frequent problems such as voltage exceeding limits, power flow exceeding limits, and equipment overload.
[0003] Traditional control methods are no longer fully adequate for the construction and development needs of new power systems, necessitating the exploration of new control methods within the system. By actively guiding and efficiently managing distributed resources within the distribution network, voltage management can be achieved without adding new physical equipment, thus reducing grid investment costs.
[0004] Current research on the comprehensive management of distribution networks with large-scale distributed resources mainly focuses on centralized or distributed optimal scheduling of distributed resources, modeling and scheduling of distributed resources under uncertain environments, aggregation optimization of distributed resources, and interactive iterative optimization of distributed resources and the distribution network. However, the above studies do not consider the participation willingness of distributed resources, nor the coupling relationship between active and reactive power. They assume that distributed resources are directly dispatchable resources of the distribution network and optimize the scheduling of active and reactive power separately, which has shortcomings such as discrepancies with actual scheduling effects and inability to fully and accurately utilize the regulation capabilities of distributed resources.
[0005] Therefore, how to provide a comprehensive management method, system, equipment, and medium for distributed resource distribution networks is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0042] Figure 1 An embodiment of a distributed resource distribution network integrated management method of the present invention is shown.
[0043] In this optional embodiment, the method for comprehensive management of distributed resource distribution networks includes:
[0044] Step S101: Based on the virtual power plant technology, a coordinated control mechanism for active and reactive power in the distribution network is established to construct an interaction mode between distributed resources in the distribution network and the virtual power plant.
[0045] Step S102: Aggregate multi-objective distributed resources, construct a heterogeneous resource aggregation model, and use the equivalent external characteristic approximation algorithm to transform the heterogeneous resource aggregation model into a standardized feasible region representation and cost function representation.
[0046] Step S103: Based on the interaction mode of distributed resources and virtual power plants in the distribution network and the standardized feasible domain representation and cost function representation, construct a collaborative control model, and use the collaborative control model to comprehensively control multi-objective distributed resources, output the optimal scheduling command, so as to realize the multi-objective comprehensive governance of the distribution network.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a collaborative control mechanism for active and reactive power in distribution networks based on virtual power plant technology is proposed, establishing the interaction mode between distributed resources and the distribution network. Based on virtual power plant technology, multiple distributed resources are aggregated, and an approximation method for the equivalent external characteristics of virtual power plants is proposed. Finally, a collaborative control model for active and reactive power in distribution networks adapted to multiple virtual power plants is proposed, enabling efficient control of distributed resources and achieving multi-objective comprehensive management of the distribution network.
[0048] In this optional embodiment, the active and reactive power coordinated control mechanism of the distribution network based on virtual power plant technology, which constructs the interaction mode between the distributed resources of the distribution network and the virtual power plant, includes: using the virtual power plant to aggregate distributed resources and establishing a two-way information interaction mechanism with the distribution network operator; using the virtual power plant as the basic unit participating in the operation of the distribution network, responsible for providing regulation capabilities and regulation costs to the distribution network operator, so as to achieve efficient aggregation and control of distributed resources.
[0049] Specifically, a standardized interaction mode between distributed resources and the distribution network is constructed. In this mechanism, the virtual power plant, as the basic unit participating in the operation of the distribution network, is responsible for providing the distribution network operator with information on its regulation capacity and regulation costs to support system-level optimization scheduling and control decisions. In the distribution network active and reactive power coordinated control system based on the virtual power plant, the virtual power plant, as an integrated unit aggregating distributed resources, establishes a two-way information interaction mechanism with the distribution network operator. To ensure the efficiency and reliability of system operation, this patent establishes a standardized and regulated information interaction framework. Specifically, the virtual power plant needs to provide the operator with two types of key information: regulation capacity information and regulation cost information. All information is associated with specific moments and grid nodes to ensure its spatiotemporal accuracy. A distribution network active and reactive power coordinated control mechanism based on virtual power plant technology is proposed, establishing an interaction mode between distributed resources and the distribution network. The virtual power plant, as the smallest unit participating in the operation of the distribution network, provides the distribution network operator with its regulation capacity and regulation costs.
[0050] In the active and reactive power coordinated control system of distribution networks based on virtual power plants, the virtual power plant, as an aggregator of distributed resources, has frequent and complex two-way information exchanges with the distribution network operator. Establishing a standardized and regulated information exchange mode is the foundation and prerequisite for the efficient and reliable operation of this patent mechanism. Therefore, this invention explicitly stipulates that the virtual power plant must provide the distribution network operator with two types of standardized information: regulation capacity and regulation cost, and all information is based on a specific time and a specific grid node to ensure the spatiotemporal accuracy of the information.
[0051] In this optional embodiment, the virtual power plant, as a basic unit participating in the operation of the distribution network, is responsible for providing regulation capabilities and regulation costs to the distribution network operator to achieve efficient aggregation and control of distributed resources. This includes: in terms of regulation capabilities, the virtual power plant needs to provide four types of core descriptive quantities to the distribution network operator to comprehensively characterize its regulation capabilities; the four types of core descriptive quantities include: upper and lower limits of active and reactive power to characterize the power regulation range that the virtual power plant can provide at the current moment; active and reactive power joint power constraints to reflect the coupling relationship between active and reactive output caused by the physical limits of the power electronic converter; upper and lower limits of energy state to characterize the continuous regulation capability of the virtual power plant with energy storage over a longer time scale; and upper and lower limits of the ramp rate of the virtual power plant's power output change capability per unit time. In terms of regulation costs, the regulation cost of the virtual power plant is defined as a bivariate function related to both active and reactive power to accurately characterize the impact of reactive power regulation on converter losses and the economic efficiency of active power output. Through the standardized interaction of regulation capabilities and regulation costs, efficient aggregation and control of distributed resources can be achieved.
[0052] Specifically, the regulation capability information is used to describe the physical power boundary of a virtual power plant that can be dispatched and controlled at a specific access point at a given time. This patent selects four core descriptive quantities to comprehensively characterize its regulation capability: First, the upper and lower limits of active and reactive power, representing the power regulation range that the virtual power plant can provide at the current time. Active power directly affects system frequency stability and power balance, while reactive power plays a crucial role in node voltage levels. The upper and lower limits of the virtual power plant's power are the algebraic superposition of the adjustable ranges of all aggregated distributed resources at that time. Second, the joint active and reactive power constraint, reflecting the coupling relationship between active and reactive power outputs caused by the physical limits of power electronic converters. Ignoring this constraint will lead to dispatch commands potentially exceeding the actual operating capacity of the equipment, resulting in command execution failure. Therefore, this constraint is crucial to ensuring dispatch feasibility and safe operation of the equipment. Third, the upper and lower limits of energy state, mainly used to characterize the continuous regulation capability of a virtual power plant containing energy storage over a longer time scale. Energy state information reflects its remaining charging and discharging capacity, which is crucial for assessing the continuity of power support during multi-period dispatching processes and avoiding operational risks caused by energy depletion. Fourth, the upper and lower limits of the ramp rate describe the limits of the virtual power plant's ability to change power output per unit time. This constraint ensures the smoothness and controllability of the power regulation process, avoids the impact of sudden power changes on the power grid, and provides a time-scale constraint for dynamic optimization control. Regarding regulation costs, the regulation cost of the virtual power plant is defined as a bivariate function related to both active and reactive power. Since reactive power regulation often leads to increased converter losses and affects the economics of active power output, traditional linear cost superposition models cannot accurately characterize its coupled economic characteristics. Therefore, this patent stipulates that the regulation cost must be expressed as a bivariate function to more realistically reflect the economic behavior in actual operation.
[0053] Through the aforementioned mechanism, this patent constructs a transparent, accurate, and feasible active and reactive power coordinated control system, providing a technical foundation for the safe, stable, and economical operation of distribution networks with a high proportion of distributed energy access. Regulation capability defines the range of physical power that a virtual power plant can provide to the distribution network operator for dispatch control at a given time and at a given access point. This patent selects upper and lower limits of active / reactive power, joint active and reactive power constraints, upper and lower limits of energy state, and upper and lower limits of ramp rate as core descriptive quantities.
[0054] (1) The formulas for the upper and lower limits of active power and reactive power are as follows:
[0055]
[0056]
[0057] In the formula, and These represent the active and reactive power outputs of the virtual power plant at node i during time period t, respectively. and These represent the upper and lower limits of the active and reactive power output of the virtual power plant at node i during that time period.
[0058] (2) The formula for the combined active and reactive power constraint is:
[0059]
[0060] In the formula, and R represents the active and reactive power output of the virtual power plant at node i during time period t; 2 Represents a two-dimensional vector space; Ω i,t This represents the coupling constraint relationship satisfied by the active and reactive power output of the virtual power plant; this constraint originates from the physical limits of the power electronic converter. Whether it's a photovoltaic inverter or an energy storage converter, its maximum apparent power output capability is limited by its power devices and heat dissipation conditions. This means that there is a coupling relationship between its active and reactive power output, making it impossible to simultaneously reach the theoretical maximum values of both active and reactive power.
[0061] (3) The formulas for the upper and lower limits of energy are:
[0062]
[0063] In the formula, This indicates the remaining charge status of the aggregated energy storage units; and These represent the upper and lower limits of energy. They represent the continuous regulation capability of a virtual power plant over a long timescale. For example, if the SOC of an energy storage system is close to the lower limit, its ability to continuously generate active power is about to be exhausted; conversely, if the SOC is close to the upper limit, its ability to absorb active power is limited.
[0064] (4) The formulas for the upper and lower limits of the climbing slope are:
[0065]
[0066] In the formula, This represents the ramp-up capability of the virtual power plant at node i during time period t; and These represent the upper and lower limits of its ramp-up capability. This constraint indicates the virtual power plant's ability to adjust its output power per unit time, characterizing the limit of the rate of change of the virtual power plant's output power. The cost of the virtual power plant is the result of the combined effects of active and reactive power regulation. For example, generating reactive power will lead to increased converter losses, thus affecting its ability and cost to generate active power. A simple linear summation function C(P) + C(Q) cannot characterize this coupled economy. Here, it is stipulated that the regulation cost of the virtual power plant is a bivariate function related to its active and reactive power in that time period. The standard form of the regulation cost formula is as follows:
[0067]
[0068] In the formula, C VPP The regulation cost of the virtual power plant is represented by f(·,·); f(·,·) represents a bivariate function of the independent variable within the parentheses. This represents the ramp-up capability of the virtual power plant at node i during time period t; This represents the reactive power output of the virtual power plant at node i during time period t.
[0069] In this optional embodiment, the aggregation of multi-objective distributed resources based on the interaction mode of distributed network resources and virtual power plants to construct a heterogeneous resource aggregation model, and the transformation of the heterogeneous resource aggregation model into a standardized feasible region representation and cost function representation using an equivalent external characteristic approximation algorithm, includes: aggregating distributed photovoltaics, energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging stations, and flexible loads based on the interaction mode of distributed network resources and virtual power plants to construct a heterogeneous resource aggregation model; reducing the complexity of the heterogeneous resource aggregation model using an equivalent external characteristic approximation algorithm, and meeting the standardized and unified representation requirements of the interaction mode for the heterogeneous resource aggregation model based on the mathematical method of Zonotope; sampling the heterogeneous resource aggregation model within a preset range of active and reactive power, and using backpropagation (Back) The Propagation neural network fits the nonlinear relationship between active power, reactive power and virtual power plant operating costs to obtain a discretized power-cost correspondence, thereby simplifying the model and improving computational efficiency. Through geometric approximation and artificial intelligence technology, the heterogeneous resource model is transformed into a standardized feasible domain representation and cost function representation based on the standardized representation requirements and the discretized power-cost correspondence.
[0070] Specifically, this invention proposes an approximate characterization method for the operating characteristics of a virtual power plant, aiming to reduce the complexity of its internal heterogeneous resource aggregation model and meet the unified and standardized characterization requirements of the distribution network interaction mechanism for the virtual power plant model. A virtual power plant typically contains various types of distributed resources, such as distributed photovoltaic systems, energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging stations, and flexible loads, each with unique operating constraints and cost characteristics.
[0071] For distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems, their operational characteristics mainly include the predicted and actual values of active power output, the actual and upper limits of reactive power output, and the active-reactive power coupling relationship constrained by the apparent power limit of the equipment. Operating costs comprehensively consider both power generation revenue and curtailment penalties. Energy storage systems require consideration of independent upper and lower limits for charging and discharging power, reactive power support capacity, apparent power constraints, the state of stored electricity, and energy losses during charging and discharging. Their cost models are typically linked to the grid's electricity purchase and sale price. Electric vehicle charging station operations involve the adjustment range of the original load and actual power consumption, reactive power output capacity, active power interaction with the grid and its limitations, and costs encompass electricity purchase costs and reactive power compensation revenue. The characteristics of flexible loads mainly include the deviation between the original load and the adjusted actual load, active and reactive power adjustment capacity and their upper limits, and costs are related to the magnitude of load adjustment.
[0072] To integrate the aforementioned heterogeneous resources, this patent constructs a heterogeneous resource aggregation model for a virtual power plant. This model aggregates all distributed resources connected to the same distribution network node, and its total cost is the sum of the costs of all types of resources, while the total output is the total active and reactive power injected into the distribution network node.
[0073] To simplify and standardize the interaction of complex internal models, this patent employs a mathematical method based on Zonotopes to characterize the feasible operating domain of the virtual power plant. This method represents the feasible domain as a geometric structure extending along multiple directional vectors with a center point as the reference, its extension length constrained by preset maximum values. The design of these directional vectors encompasses key operational limitations such as single-time-period power upper and lower limits, active and reactive power coupling constraints, and power summation and difference constraints across multiple time periods. By summing multiple directional vectors, the overall regulation capability of the virtual power plant across multiple time periods is comprehensively described.
[0074] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in terms of cost characterization, this patent obtains a discrete power-cost correspondence by systematically sampling within a preset range of active and reactive power. Then, a backpropagation neural network is used to construct a nonlinear mapping model with active and reactive power as input and operating cost as output. This network structure has two neurons in the input layer and one neuron in the output layer, and preferably a three-layer hidden layer structure. The number of neurons is optimized using combinatorial mathematics to ensure high-precision fitting of complex cost characteristics with limited training samples.
[0075] This method uses geometric approximation and artificial intelligence to transform the complex heterogeneous resource model inside the virtual power plant into a standardized feasible region and cost function representation, which significantly reduces the model complexity and computational burden. At the same time, it ensures the accuracy and reliability of the information exchanged with the distribution network operator, providing key technical support for the participation of large-scale distributed resources in the coordinated regulation of the power grid.
