AI Technical Summary
Traditional microgrid energy management methods struggle to balance long-term safety with short-term accuracy when faced with extreme weather and abnormal load shocks. Furthermore, the low system inertia and limited available energy prevent dynamic adjustment of safety boundaries, leading to premature depletion of reserve energy or failure to unlock deep discharge in a timely manner.
An event-driven adaptive time-domain energy management method is adopted. Through real-time monitoring and multi-source integrated event detection, the predicted time domain length is dynamically adjusted. Combined with dual-mode adaptive optimization and dynamic safety margin mechanism, an elastic energy storage scheduling model is constructed to realize rolling optimization and command issuance, thereby improving the system's self-immunity and recovery elasticity.
It effectively solves the "time domain paradox" problem, improves the system's resilience and energy supply level under extreme conditions, reduces the risk of low energy storage state of charge, and enhances the system's self-protection capability and response speed to extreme events.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of rail transit microgrids, new energy and energy storage optimization scheduling technology, and more specifically, to a flexible adaptive time-domain energy management method for hybrid energy storage in electrified railways that takes into account extreme conditions, particularly an energy management method based on event-driven adaptive time-domain model predictive control (ED-AH-MPC). Background Technology
[0002] Rail transit, exemplified by electrified railways, is key to achieving low-carbon development in the transportation sector. With the advancement of integrated transportation and energy development, the introduction of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics, hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) composed of supercapacitors and batteries, and railway power regulators (RPCs) to construct smart railway microgrids in traction power supply systems (TPSS) have become important solutions for improving energy utilization efficiency and power quality. The introduction of hybrid energy storage systems not only enhances the absorption of regenerative braking energy but also reduces overall operating costs.
[0003] However, with the increasing frequency of low-probability, high-impact (HILP) events such as extreme weather, the operational flexibility of traction power supply systems faces severe challenges. Extreme conditions can lead to a precipitous drop in photovoltaic output and a sharp surge in traction load. Traditional microgrid energy management methods based on model predictive control (MPC) typically employ a fixed prediction time domain. When facing real-world operating conditions with high randomness and abrupt changes, a fixed time domain inherently suffers from a "horizon paradox": if a shorter prediction time domain is used, the system has better computational speed and can reduce prediction errors, but it suffers from a serious "shortsightedness" problem, failing to anticipate and store energy for upcoming extreme weather or sustained load peaks; if a longer prediction time domain is used, although it provides a global perspective, it often leads to severe accumulation of prediction errors and a huge computational burden when encountering high-frequency load fluctuations, resulting in suboptimal dispatch commands.
[0004] Furthermore, due to the inherent characteristics of railway microgrid systems—low inertia and limited available energy—traditional fixed static state of charge (SOC) safety margin mechanisms and protection logic are too rigid. They cannot achieve dynamic and flexible responses to varying degrees of disturbance severity, and are prone to prematurely depleting reserve energy during small fluctuations or failing to unlock deep discharge limits in time during severe crises. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a highly flexible system energy management method that can automatically scale the optimization perspective based on the fluctuation conditions and external crisis events faced by the system, and dynamically adjust the system's safety boundaries. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problem that existing microgrid energy management strategies struggle to balance long-term safety and short-term accuracy in the face of extreme weather and abnormal load shocks, the present invention aims to provide a resilient adaptive time-domain energy management method for hybrid energy storage in electrified railways under extreme conditions, thereby improving the system's self-immunity and resilience.
[0006] This invention proposes a resilient event-driven adaptive temporal energy management method, which mainly includes the following steps:
[0007] (1) Operation status monitoring and multi-source integrated event detection: Real-time collection of grid status, traction load power, photovoltaic power generation power and energy storage charge status; based on statistical rules and rate of change characteristics, perform event scanning to determine whether high-frequency fluctuations, extreme load surges or extreme weather-induced source-load cliff drops are triggered.
[0008] (2) Dual-mode adaptive optimization time domain calculation: By parallel calculation of the comprehensive volatility index of traction load and photovoltaic power output fluctuation, the volatility-based "contraction mode" or the event detection-based "expansion mode" is driven to adaptively calculate the optimal prediction time domain length that best fits the current moment.
[0009] (3) Construct an energy storage scheduling optimization model with dynamic safety margin: take minimizing the grid-connected power purchase cost, energy storage loss and related penalty terms in a specific prediction time domain as the objective function, set equipment physical constraints and power balance constraints, and design an energy storage state of charge (SOC) safety margin management mechanism with "energy storage-release" dual-state switching.
[0010] (4) Introducing rolling optimization solution and issuing instructions: In the current prediction time domain, the above model is solved periodically using the mixed integer linear programming (MILP) method, and the optimal hybrid energy storage action instruction of the current time step is issued and executed.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0012] 1. An innovative event-driven dual-mode time-domain adaptive mechanism (ED-AH-MPC) was proposed, which solved the "time-domain paradox" problem. It actively shrinks the time domain to filter noise and accumulate errors during high-frequency oscillations and actively extends the time domain to capture extreme interference before a crisis occurs, which greatly improves the system resilience under extreme events.
[0013] 2. A dynamic SOC safety margin mechanism is introduced to build a protective barrier when facing high uncertainty in daily life, raising the lower limit of availability; when a certain extreme event occurs, the barrier is automatically broken to unlock deep discharge capacity, effectively reducing the duration of low SOC risk of the system and improving the system's elastic energy supply level.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific steps.
[0021] Step 1: Real-time monitoring of operational status and detection of extreme events. Establish a multi-source event detection mechanism to scan the data stream of the track microgrid.
[0022] Calculate the mean traction load distribution with standard deviation and in the auxiliary time window ( Perform radar-style look-ahead scanning to define trigger signals for abnormal peak load surge events. The judgment logic is: when the condition is satisfied When an abnormal event signal is triggered, that is... It is not triggered under other circumstances, i.e., $F_{load}(t)=0$.
[0023] Monitor changes in the moving average of photovoltaic power sequences, and flag extreme weather events when forecasted photovoltaic power falls below a critical threshold. That is, when When the trigger value is 1, the trigger value is 1.
[0024] Step 2: Calculation of the Dual-Mode Adaptive Horizon prediction mechanism. The optimal model prediction time domain for the next decision step is calculated. .
[0025] First, quantify the combined volatility index of traction load and photovoltaic fluctuations. :
[0026] Calculate traction load fluctuation rate and photovoltaic volatility ;
[0027] The composite volatility index takes the maximum of the two: .
[0028] Based on this volatility, the market enters the "contraction and benchmark determination phase." When excessively high volatility is detected... When this occurs, the "shrinkage mode" is triggered, defining an intermediate time domain. To filter out predicted noise.
[0029] Then determine if there are extreme events in the detection window. or This triggers the "Radar Extended Mode," adding event compensation time-domain increments. :
[0030]
[0031] in, To quantify the severity of the crisis, and These are the basic expansion coefficient and the cooperative fluctuation adjustment coefficient, respectively. The final prediction time domain length is then limited to:
[0032]
[0033] This method ensures that the energy storage system has a sufficiently long control field of view to perform deep pre-charging in critical situations.
[0034] Step 3: Establish a resilient model for prediction and a mixed-integer optimization problem (containing dynamic energy storage safety margin constraints).
[0035] In the adaptively determined future time period Internally, the objective function is to maximize economic efficiency and operational stability. The specific objective function is... This includes the cost of purchasing electricity from the main grid, the cost of energy storage degradation and loss, and the costs of corresponding peak shaving and valley filling mechanisms, whether as penalties or rewards.
[0036]
[0037] In addition to satisfying the basic power conservation constraints of the microgrid system, the constraints under the above objectives also include:
[0038]
[0039] The key is to establish a dynamic system state of charge (SOC) safety margin mechanism constraint based on a "storage-release" dual-state approach, breaking through the traditional rigid protection boundary:
[0040] Mode A: When no extreme events are triggered under normal conditions (hold mode), the lower limit of the deep discharge threshold of the battery system is increased based on the comprehensive volatility and prediction error coefficient.
[0041]
[0042] This model, as a preparatory phase, can proactively store usable energy for future unobserved uncertainties (i.e., reserve a "yellow defense line").
[0043] Mode B: When an extreme weather or high load alarm signal is triggered (release mode), the protection threshold is automatically released, allowing the protection to drop to extreme boundaries (e.g., It performs deep crisis power supply discharge to release all the energy of the system.
[0044] Step 4: Rolling solution and execution of energy management instructions.
[0045] The updated initial system state is fed into the adaptive predictive control model constructed above, and a commercial optimization algorithm (such as a mixed-integer programming solver) is used to solve the problem. The solution length is... The internal variable column for step size only includes the first time step control plan (i.e., the execution window) in the generation strategy. The corresponding operation is delegated to the bidirectional energy storage converter composed of supercapacitors and batteries. The clock step advances to the next time segment, receives the actual measurement feedback from the system again, performs a new round of comprehensive mutation and fluctuation characteristic calculation, triggers time-domain scaling reconstruction and rolling optimization process, and achieves flexible closed-loop control of extreme fluctuations of electrified railways.
