Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of autonomous operation technology for distribution transformer areas / feeders, and more specifically, to a multi-objective optimization autonomous control method and system for the feeder layer of distribution transformer areas. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy, electric vehicles, and smart electrical equipment, the load patterns and operating characteristics at the end of the distribution network are undergoing profound changes. At the distribution substation / feeder level, a large number of flexible power resources, such as electric vehicle charging and discharging equipment and residential and commercial air conditioning, are being centrally connected, resulting in loads that are decentralized, highly volatile, and highly uncertain, posing new challenges to the operational safety, voltage quality, and economic operation of the substations.

[0003] On the one hand, new types of loads such as electric vehicles have characteristics such as adjustable power, flexible timing, and partial support for bidirectional energy interaction. Without proper guidance, they are prone to causing concentrated charging in certain periods, leading to problems such as overload of transformers or feeders and voltage exceeding limits. On the other hand, air conditioning loads, as typical comfort loads, directly affect user experience when they are in operation. When participating in regulation, they must simultaneously meet multiple restrictions such as power constraints, temperature comfort range, and start-stop frequency, which increases the complexity of regulation strategy design.

[0004] To address these issues, existing power distribution network operation and control technologies mostly employ centralized dispatching or single-objective optimization methods to manage loads uniformly or simply reduce them. However, these methods often focus on overall optimization at the system or regional level, making it difficult to fully characterize the differences in equipment type, control granularity, and user behavior among flexible resources at the end of the distribution area / feeder layer, and lacking rapid response and autonomous control capabilities for actual operating scenarios.

[0005] Meanwhile, with the gradual deployment of edge computing and smart terminals, the operation and control of distribution networks is evolving from traditional centralized dispatch to an autonomous operation mode of "local perception—autonomous decision-making—rapid execution". Against this backdrop, how to construct an autonomous control method at the transformer substation / feeder layer that can integrate multiple types of flexible power resources, balance operational safety, power quality, economy, and user comfort, and possess rolling optimization and closed-loop adaptive capabilities has become a pressing technical problem to be solved in the field of intelligent distribution network operation.

It performs refined modeling and collaborative regulation of resources, which can support the collaborative optimization and executable regulation of multiple types of flexible resources in autonomous operation scenarios at the substation level.

It is specifically designed to address the uncertainties in user behavior, comfort constraints, and differentiated execution logic of flexible loads such as electric vehicles and air conditioners, thereby meeting the actual needs of refined and autonomous regulation at the end of the distribution network.

[0034] Based on the same inventive concept, one embodiment of the present invention also provides a multi-objective optimization autonomous control system for the feeder layer of a distribution network area.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the multi-objective optimization autonomous control system for the feeder layer of a distribution network provided in this embodiment may include: The state awareness and prediction module is used to detect and predict the current control cycle Δ t Any adjustment moment within t A forecasting window is established based on the current operational data of flexible power resources. t , t + T pThe system models the state variables within the prediction window to obtain the prediction results of the current operating state; among which, flexible power resources include: electric vehicle charging and discharging resources and air conditioning load resources; The optimization decision module is used to construct a multi-objective optimization model.

[0036] It should be noted that the steps in the method provided by the present invention can be implemented using corresponding modules, devices, units, etc. in the system. Those skilled in the art can refer to the technical solution of the method to realize the composition of the system. That is, the embodiments in the method can be understood as preferred examples for building the system, and will not be elaborated here.

[0037] The design and working principles of the technical solutions provided in the above embodiments of the present invention will be further explained in detail below with reference to a specific application example.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the complete execution process of the multi-objective optimization autonomous control method for the feeder layer of the distribution network area under the rolling optimization mechanism is systematically demonstrated.

[0039] The key to achieving autonomous operation at the distribution transformer / feeder level lies in activating the numerous flexible regulation resources distributed at the end, enhancing their rapid response and regulation capabilities to the grid's operating status. Two typical terminal types—electric vehicles (EVs) and comfort loads such as variable frequency air conditioners—are characterized by wide distribution, controllable power, and high adjustability, constituting important control targets and supporting resources at the distribution transformer level. While their operating characteristics differ, they are complementary in timing and regulation direction, providing a foundation for establishing a multi-objective optimized regulation mechanism. This section, starting from the analysis of regulation characteristics, proposes a mutually supportive and coordinated response mechanism between charging / discharging resources and air conditioning loads, supporting the subsequent construction of optimization models and autonomous strategies.

[0040] Electric vehicles (EVs) are typical mobile distributed energy units. Once connected to the power distribution system, they not only act as electrical loads but also possess energy storage and regulation capabilities. With the continuous increase in EV penetration, user-side EV clusters have gradually formed virtual energy storage resource pools with considerable controllable value at the distribution transformer level. Their main characteristics are as follows: Privately owned electric vehicles typically have charging capacities ranging from 2 to 7 kW. Some models supporting V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) functionality can also discharge back into the grid, exhibiting bidirectional charging / discharging regulation capabilities. This characteristic allows them to participate in peak shaving operations during peak load periods and to charge and store energy during off-peak periods, achieving cross-period energy transfer and local load buffering, making them a typical adjustable energy storage resource. Furthermore, the adjustable periods for electric vehicles are relatively flexible. Most users' parking activities are concentrated after the evening peak and at night, providing ample time windows for their participation in nighttime control strategies and helping to improve the controllability of the distribution system's nighttime load.

[0041] In designing scheduling strategies, it is essential to fully consider users' travel needs and ensure that their State of Charge (SOC) before scheduled departure is not lower than the minimum travel guarantee threshold to avoid impacting user experience due to control operations. Furthermore, given the volatility and randomness of electric vehicle behavior characteristics such as access time, initial SOC, and dwell time, model construction typically requires incorporating historical statistical data or scenario sets to establish probabilistic constraints or uncertainty descriptions, thereby enhancing the robustness and feasibility of the control strategy.

[0042] Despite some behavioral uncertainties, electric vehicles exhibit relatively stable power changes during actual operation and possess good load predictability. Especially after being incorporated into the edge autonomy framework, their regulation behavior is more easily visualized and managed and rolled out, enabling the construction of an integrated control loop of "prediction-optimization-execution," which is of great value in enhancing the autonomous capabilities of the distribution area.

[0043] Air conditioning load, as a typical comfort load in power distribution network areas, is widely distributed in residential buildings, commercial buildings, and office spaces. It accounts for a high proportion of the load during the high-temperature summer months and is one of the main factors causing transformer overload and voltage fluctuations. From the perspective of adjustable characteristics, air conditioners can be divided into two categories: fixed-frequency and variable-frequency. Variable-frequency air conditioners have stronger continuous power regulation capabilities and are an important resource for building flexible autonomous response mechanisms. However, fixed-frequency air conditioners still exist in some areas and also possess certain regulation potential.

[0044] In terms of responsiveness, inverter air conditioners can achieve linear power control within a range of 30% to 100% through inverter compressors, providing rapid response and making them suitable for fine-grained adjustments. While fixed-frequency air conditioners can only control start-stop, they can participate in basic response through rotary or periodic adjustments. Regarding comfort constraints, air conditioner operation directly affects the user's temperature experience; therefore, control strategies must keep indoor temperature fluctuations within ±1°C while limiting frequent start-stop cycles to ensure equipment safety and user satisfaction.

[0045] In terms of temporal distribution, air conditioning load exhibits a clear peak concentration, especially during hot and sunny summers, when the load is mainly concentrated from daytime to evening, showing a large-scale synchronous start-up and shutdown characteristic, which can easily cause sudden load surges and voltage disturbances in local transformer areas. Regarding operational constraints, air conditioning equipment has limitations such as minimum start-up and shutdown times, minimum operating times, and power change rates. Control measures must balance response effectiveness with equipment protection to ensure stable operation.

[0046] Furthermore, air conditioning loads are widely distributed and commonly accessed on the user side, exhibiting good adaptability for edge deployment. Integration with local autonomous control systems is expected to enable rapid response, voltage optimization, and load balancing at the transformer / feeder level, providing crucial support for flexible control of the distribution network.

[0047] Charging and discharging resources (represented by electric vehicles) and air conditioning loads, as two typical flexible power resources at the end of distribution substations / feeders, exhibit significant differences in their operational characteristics: the former possesses bidirectional energy regulation capabilities and certain energy storage attributes, while the latter is characterized by a high proportion of purely energy-consuming loads constrained by user comfort. However, it is precisely this difference that provides the foundation for the coordinated response of the two types of resources in autonomous regulation, demonstrating good complementarity and coupling potential. A rationally designed regulation mechanism, treating both as a unified resource pool for coordinated scheduling, can not only improve local regulation capabilities and operational efficiency but also enhance the system's resilience to operational risks, creating a resource synergy benefit of "1+1>2".

[0048] Firstly, in terms of time, the two have a clear complementary adjustment timeline. Air conditioning load in summer is mainly concentrated during the high-temperature daytime hours, typically between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, constituting the main component of daytime peak load. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, are mostly connected to the grid after users return home, with their charging periods usually distributed from evening to night or even the early morning of the following day. This creates a natural peak-shaving effect between the adjustable time periods of EVs and the air conditioning load. Through reasonable time period division and response mechanism design, peak shaving control can be achieved during the day using methods such as air conditioning rotation control, while at night, the charging and discharging capacity of EVs can be fully utilized to achieve load balance, effectively alleviating load pressure at different times and improving the stability of the transformer substation operation.

[0049] Secondly, from the perspective of power direction complementarity, air conditioning, as a purely energy-consuming load, is typically regulated by load management based on reducing power demand. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, possess dual "source-load" attributes. They can participate in charging management as a load and also supply power to the distribution area via V2G, acting as a "virtual power source" in regulation. During peak load periods, EVs can appropriately release electricity to support local voltage and load; during off-peak electricity prices or periods of reduced air conditioning load, they can fill the load gap through charging. This two-way adjustment mechanism enables the two types of resources to form a dynamic complementary relationship during grid supply and demand fluctuations, constructing a stronger power regulation buffer and improving the operational flexibility and adaptability of the autonomous system.

[0050] Third, at the level of control objectives, the two share complementary and synergistic characteristics. The core of air conditioning regulation lies in controlling indoor temperature fluctuations to ensure user comfort; therefore, its adjustment strategy must strictly limit the range of temperature changes and the frequency of start-stop operations, with the primary control objective being minimizing user perception. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, focus more on economy and energy efficiency, such as guiding charging behavior through electricity price signals, participating in demand response, or obtaining incentives through peak shaving and valley filling. When participating in a multi-objective optimization model, these two types of resources can respond according to their weights: EVs primarily undertake the objectives of economy and power balance, while air conditioning assists in regulation while ensuring comfort is not compromised. By flexibly allocating strategy execution weights, a reasonable trade-off between multiple objectives can be achieved, ensuring the overall autonomous system achieves comprehensive optimization across four dimensions: safety, economy, quality, and user satisfaction.

[0051] Furthermore, EVs and air conditioners possess complementary spatial response capabilities. In a typical distribution area / feeder, air conditioners and electric vehicles are distributed across different user nodes, exhibiting high decentralization and controllable access. This spatial distribution characteristic allows for differentiated regulation based on node location, voltage status, and load size when local grid problems such as voltage exceedances or feeder overloads occur. For example, if the voltage at a node is too high, EVs can be prioritized for charging at that node to absorb electricity, or the air conditioner's operating power can be reduced to alleviate voltage rise; when there is a significant local power shortage, EVs at that node can be activated for discharge, or some air conditioner load can be appropriately shut down to achieve local voltage or load balancing. By constructing a resource response mechanism based on node status awareness, the spatial accuracy and emergency response capabilities of autonomous control are significantly improved.

[0052] Furthermore, the resource sharing mechanism can be enhanced with various strategies in practical deployments to improve its robustness. For example, in scenarios with large load forecasting errors or high uncertainty in user behavior, fault-tolerant scheduling methods can be adopted to dynamically assess resource availability and automatically switch the primary adjustment resources. When user participation is unstable, the stability of user-side resource response can be improved by setting comfort constraints and economic incentive mechanisms. Ultimately, forming a four-dimensional collaborative multi-resource control network of "time-power-target-space" is a key technical path to improve the autonomous operation quality of transformer substations / feeders.

[0053] In summary, the multidimensional complementary relationship between charging and discharging resources and air conditioning loads in terms of operational characteristics lays a solid foundation for building an efficient, flexible, and reliable autonomous control mechanism for distribution substations. Through coordinated design of the two in dimensions such as adjustment timing, power direction, control objectives, and response space, not only can the potential of end-point resources be fully explored, but also refined management and dynamic adaptive control of the distribution system's operating status can be achieved, effectively supporting the intelligent transformation of future active distribution networks.

[0054] To achieve coordinated control of load resources at the transformer substation / feeder level and meet the comprehensive optimization needs of the distribution system in terms of operational safety, power quality, economy, and user experience, a multi-objective optimization model that can dynamically reflect the actual operating status, resource control characteristics, and constraint boundaries needs to be constructed. This model should possess the following functional characteristics: capable of making feasible local control decisions for multi-source heterogeneous flexible resources; possessing periodic rolling optimization capabilities for autonomous control scenarios; and supporting control trade-offs and weight configuration for multi-objective coordination. Therefore, this invention proposes a local multi-objective optimization model suitable for autonomous operation of transformer substations / feeders. The model covers key modules such as setting the control objective function, defining variables, constraints on adjustable resource characteristics, grid operation constraints, user preference constraints, and rolling mechanism design, forming a complete deployable optimization computation framework.

[0055] This invention constructs a multi-objective local optimization model aimed at solving the problem of coordinated regulation of typical flexible load resources at the distribution area / feeder level, thereby enhancing autonomous operation capabilities. The core resources addressed by the model include electric vehicle (EV) charging and discharging resources and terminal equipment with regulation potential, such as air conditioning loads. Considering typical problems in the operation of the distribution network's end points, such as large peak-valley load differences, frequent voltage fluctuations, and concentrated user behavior, the model's objective system covers four core dimensions: operational safety, power quality, economy, and user comfort. It strives to achieve a balance between local supply and demand, equipment operation boundary control, system power purchase cost optimization, and user experience assurance during the regulation process.

[0056] The time-related variables involved in the technical solution of this invention are defined as follows: tFor control moment or discrete time index, it represents any control moment (time point) on the discrete time axis. Δ t To control the step size or control period, it represents the time interval between two adjacent control moments, used for strategy execution; T The total optimization time domain represents the complete time range covered by a single solution of the multi-objective optimization model. T =[ t , t + T p ]; T p The prediction time domain length represents the prediction window. t , t + T p The length of time.

[0057] This model employs a rolling optimization mechanism for dynamic scheduling decisions. Specifically, at any given time... t In the future time domain T p To optimize the window, based on the current operating status information of the transformer area / feeder and the planned load curve, generate [ t , t + T p A flexible resource control strategy within the system; followed by a certain control step size. Periodic updates (e.g., every 15 minutes) enable continuous perception of operational status and dynamic adjustment of the control loop. This sliding window-style rolling optimization structure effectively addresses the uncertainties caused by changes in end-point load, improving the timeliness and stability of control response while ensuring strategy feasibility.

[0058] During the modeling process, typical behavioral constraints for electric vehicles and air conditioning loads were uniformly defined, such as minimum SOC requirements, start-stop restrictions, operating power boundaries, and adjustment time windows, ensuring the model's consistency and adaptability in controlling different resources. Simultaneously, the optimized model incorporates a multi-objective trade-off mechanism. Based on changes in demand under different operating scenarios, the weighting factors in the objective function can be adjusted to achieve flexible scheduling guided by either economy or comfort while ensuring safety, thus supporting the efficient implementation of autonomous strategies.

[0059] To meet the diverse operational needs of distribution network substations / feeders in autonomous scenarios, a multi-objective optimization function is constructed, comprising four categories of key performance indicators, corresponding to the system's operational safety, voltage qualification rate, economic operation, and user comfort control objectives, respectively. This objective function is expressed in a weighted summation form. By adjusting the weight coefficients of each sub-objective, flexible objective preference configuration can be achieved under different operational scenarios to meet practical engineering requirements. The overall optimization objective function is as follows: in: , , and The weighting factors for each optimization objective satisfy... ; For feeder or transformer load rate targets; Penalty for node voltage deviation; To achieve the target for electricity purchase cost; For the purpose of user comfort.

[0060] 1. Operational security objectives Overload operation of transformers or feeders not only increases the risk of equipment failure but also affects the power supply reliability of the entire distribution area. The safety objective function, primarily used to constrain the system's maximum load rate, is defined as: in, Discrete time interval after regulation t The actual power of the transformer or feeder. The rated capacity of the transformer or feeder aims to suppress peak values ​​and reduce the risk of exceeding operating limits.

[0061] 2. Voltage qualification rate target Voltage quality is a crucial indicator of the power supply capacity of a power distribution system. Control measures must ensure voltage stability at transformer substations / feeder nodes. Maintain within the allowable range Inside. The definition is as follows: This approach penalizes voltage deviations beyond the limit at each time point, encouraging the strategy to maintain voltage stability while ensuring the control effect.

[0062] 3. Economic Operation Objectives This objective focuses on reducing the electricity purchase cost for distribution transformer areas through peak shaving and valley filling, and responding to price signals during load regulation. It is defined as follows: in, For electricity price, carve tThe power output of electricity purchased by the distribution area from the main grid. This target can guide electric vehicles to charge during off-peak electricity prices and discharge appropriately during peak electricity prices, thus optimizing the electricity consumption structure.

[0063] 4. User comfort goals To ensure that the user experience is not significantly affected when the air conditioner is involved in regulation, a temperature offset is introduced. and start / stop frequency As constraints, construct the following objective: in and This represents the relative weights of different sub-objectives within the comfort dimension. This function constrains indoor temperature fluctuations within a set range (e.g., ±1°C) while suppressing energy consumption increases and equipment wear caused by frequent start-stop cycles.

[0064] The aforementioned multi-objective optimization function constructs a universal and scalable objective system by systematically modeling four key indicators: operational safety, voltage quality, economy, and user comfort. This system can cover the core control requirements of autonomous operation of distribution areas / feeders. In practical applications, the model can flexibly adjust the weighting factors to adapt to different operating scenarios and strategy preferences, supporting multiple operating modes such as safety-first, economy-first, or comfort-first. Simultaneously, this objective function provides a unified evaluation criterion and optimization direction for subsequent flexible resource modeling, rolling optimization mechanisms, and strategy execution logic, laying the foundation for achieving efficient closed-loop control of autonomous control strategies.

[0065] To achieve coordinated and optimized control of flexible loads in transformer substations / feeder layers, this multi-objective optimization model needs to define the temporal behavioral variables of various resources as inputs for decision-making during the optimization process. Let the total optimization time domain be... T , T= [ t , t + T p To control the cycle. The control step size (discrete time step) is divided into: 1 time step; contains a total of 1 time step; Electric vehicle resources and Air conditioning load resources. Considering the different physical control mechanisms and operating states of the two types of resources, this invention constructs the following optimization decision variable system: 1. Decision variables for electric vehicles For any electric vehicle At any moment Its main decision variables are , for the first i electric vehicles t The charging and discharging power at any given time, measured in kW.

[0066] like >0 indicates the first i electric vehicles t The time indicates that it is in a charging state; if <0 indicates that the first i electric vehicles t Discharge continuously (e.g., if V2G functionality is supported); if =0, indicating the first i electric vehicles t The time frame is not involved in regulation. This variable is affected by the maximum / minimum charge / discharge power limits of electric vehicles and their battery state of charge (SOC) constraints.

[0067] 2. Decision variables for air conditioning load For any air conditioner Arbitrary control time t Consider the following core regulatory variables , and .

[0068] in, For the first j air conditioner t Operating power at any given time (unit: kW). For inverter air conditioners, this value is a continuous variable, typically measured in [time range]. Adjustable within a specified range. For fixed-frequency air conditioners, this value is a fixed value during start-stop operation. Or 0; The first under air conditioning control j The indoor temperature (in °C) for each user is used to reflect the impact of air conditioning control on user comfort. This variable is constrained by a dynamic indoor temperature change model.

[0069] In addition, to represent the start-stop behavior of a fixed-frequency air conditioner, the following binary control variables need to be introduced. , indicating the first j air conditioner t The start / stop status at any given time. For fixed-frequency air conditioners, if... This indicates that the air conditioner is running. = ;like This indicates that the air conditioner is off. =0. This state variable can also be used to describe operational constraints such as start / stop frequency and minimum running time.

[0070] 3. Scheduling Vector Construction Combining the above variables, defined at time... t The overall scheduling vector is: The above scheduling vector The moment-to-moment behavioral characteristics of all key control resources form the core variable foundation for subsequent optimization problems. For different types of air conditioning equipment, the model can adjust the variables based on whether continuous power regulation is supported. or binary state variable The control mode enhances the model's adaptability.

[0071] To ensure the feasibility and effectiveness of the optimization model under realistic conditions, system constraint modeling is required for the operating boundaries of the transformer substation / feeder system, the behavioral characteristics of flexible load resources, and user experience. The constraints are mainly divided into three categories: grid operation constraints, electric vehicle operation constraints, and air conditioning operation constraints, as detailed below: 1. Power grid operation constraints a. Node voltage constraints The voltage at each node in the transformer substation / feeder system should be maintained within the allowable operating range to avoid undervoltage or overvoltage conditions. For any node... n and time t ,have: in, For nodes n At any moment t The voltage; and The minimum and maximum voltages specified by the system (typically 0.9–1.1 pu).

[0072] b. Feeder / Transformer load rate constraints To prevent equipment from operating under overload, the maximum load level of feeders or transformers must be limited. For a moment t The actual load, Given the rated capacity of the equipment, the feeder / unit variable load rate constraint is shown in equation (5-8).

[0073] 2. Electric vehicle operation constraints To ensure that the adjustment does not affect users' travel and maintains the safe operation of the battery, the following constraints need to be set: a. Discharge power boundary constraints For any electric vehicle i At any control moment t Within this range, its charging and discharging power should be within the permissible range: If the vehicle supports V2G, then Indicates the maximum discharge power; This indicates the maximum charging power.

[0074] b. SOC energy balance constraint The state of charge of a vehicle changes over time and must be described using the energy balance formula: in, For a moment t Battery state of charge; For charge and discharge efficiency; Rated battery capacity (unit: kWh); To control the step size, such as 15 minutes.

[0075] c. SOC Limit Constraints To ensure the battery is not overcharged or over-discharged, the state of charge should meet the following requirements: Generally, it can be set. =0.2, =0.9.

[0076] d. Adjustable time window constraint Electric vehicle resources can participate in regulation only during the time users connect their vehicles to the power grid. If the vehicle... i In time period If we stay, then: In addition, to meet travel needs, you must ensure the following before leaving the station: in, The minimum state of charge value set for the end of the stay for electric vehicle users.

[0077] 3. Air conditioning operation constraints As a typical comfort load, air conditioning requires constraint modeling that considers its operating mechanism, thermodynamic characteristics, and user comfort requirements. a. Power adjustment range constraints For inverter air conditioners, continuous adjustment capability is required, and their operating power is limited by minimum / maximum values: For fixed-frequency air conditioners, their power is either a fixed value (in operating state) or 0 (in off state), determined by a 0-1 variable. To limit: b. Dynamic model of room temperature The indoor temperature changes dynamically with the operation of the air conditioner and the change in the outside temperature. An approximate linear model is as follows: in, For the first j Current room temperature for each user; To unify the external temperature, These are the building's thermal inertia parameters; This is the coefficient of performance (negative value).

[0078] c. Temperature comfort range constraints Air conditioning should be used to maintain room temperature within a comfortable range. Within this range, it is generally ±1°C of the set temperature. For example, when the temperature is set to 26°C, the comfort zone is [25, 27]°C.

[0079] d. Start-stop frequency limitation (fixed-frequency air conditioner) Frequent start-stop cycles may affect equipment lifespan and energy efficiency; therefore, a minimum start-stop interval must be set. Input binary variable This indicates the air conditioner's on / off status.

[0080] Based on this, the start-stop change quantity is further defined: The total number of start-stop operations per day shall not exceed The constraints are as follows: The interval between consecutive start-stop operations must not be less than The constraints are as follows, and can be expressed through state constraints or logical judgments as follows: .

[0081] The above constraint system comprehensively covers the operational boundaries and behavioral limitations of various typical resources in the transformer / feeder layer, providing a reliable guarantee for solving subsequent optimization models and implementing practical strategies. In engineering deployment, constraint parameters (such as capacity, voltage limits, and comfort zones) can be customized based on equipment models and user preferences, thereby achieving scenario adaptation of the model and precise response control.

[0082] With the widespread access of distributed control resources and the highly diversified user behaviors, traditional centralized control models are struggling to meet the growing demand for localized autonomous operation at the distribution network / feeder level. Therefore, there is an urgent need to construct an autonomous control strategy system with hierarchical management, real-time response, and self-correction capabilities to support the efficient and coordinated scheduling of flexible resources at the end of the distribution network.

[0083] Based on the aforementioned multi-objective optimization model, this invention proposes a control strategy architecture and hierarchical execution mechanism suitable for autonomous operation scenarios of transformer substations / feeders, and further introduces a rolling optimization control mechanism to improve the dynamic adaptability and continuous effectiveness of the control strategy.

[0084] The autonomous control strategy for transformer substations / feeders revolves around a core objective: to achieve near-optimal system performance across multiple operational dimensions, including safety, voltage compliance, economy, and user comfort, through continuous optimization and real-time feedback, given limited local information. To achieve this objective, the overall strategy system is divided into three functional parts, forming a closed-loop control logic.

[0085] The first part is the state perception and prediction section. This section is responsible for collecting real-time operational data of the transformer substations / feeders, including node voltage, electric vehicle access status, air conditioning operation status, electricity price curves, and outdoor temperature. It then uses time series analysis methods to predict and model the state variables for a short-term forecast period. This prediction result will serve as the core input variable for the optimization model, determining the timeliness and foresight of the control strategy.

[0086] Secondly, there is the optimization decision-making section. This section takes the predicted state as input and calls the multi-objective optimization model established earlier to solve for the optimal control scheme for the flexible load in the current prediction time domain. The optimization objectives cover four dimensions: operational safety, voltage stability, economical operation, and user comfort. A weight adjustment mechanism supports strategy adaptation under various operating scenarios. This module is the intelligent hub of autonomous control, undertaking the core functions of resource coordination and objective balancing.

[0087] Finally, the strategy execution and feedback section transforms the optimization results into control commands recognizable by the equipment side, which are then sent to terminals such as EV charging facilities and air conditioning control units. Simultaneously, it records the state changes after strategy execution, forming an operation log and performance feedback, serving as an important reference for the next round of optimization. These three modules work together to form a continuous closed-loop control system of "prediction-optimization-execution-feedback".

[0088] To address the challenges of rapid load fluctuations, frequent electricity price changes, and high uncertainty in user behavior within the operating environment of distribution areas / feeders, this strategy introduces a rolling optimization mechanism (Model Predictive Control, MPC) as the control backbone to construct a high-frequency, short-cycle dynamic control process.

[0089] The basic process of rolling optimization is as follows: In each control cycle Δ t The system collects the current operating status and constructs a prediction window. t , t + T pThe system models variables such as load, electricity price, and temperature during the forecast period, inputs them into a multi-objective optimization model for solution, and outputs the optimal control strategy for that time domain; subsequently, only the first time step is executed. t , t +Δ t Based on the control results, the status is re-collected and the strategy is updated in the next control cycle to achieve a continuous rolling and self-correcting operating logic.

[0090] To ensure the real-time performance and convergence of the rolling mechanism, the key parameters are set as follows: [The following parameters are used to control the period Δ]. t As the rolling time step, i.e., the control step size, this control step size Δ t It is recommended to set it to 15 minutes; optimize the prediction window. T p The forecast window is typically between 1 and 2 hours; the forecast of load and external temperature uses time series modeling based on historical operating data, employs a moving average method to characterize the changing trend, and introduces a disturbance correction mechanism to correct for short-term random fluctuations in order to obtain the forecast window. t , t + T p The load and temperature prediction results within the prediction window are presented. To address the uncertainties in the arrival time, dwell time, and initial state of charge of electric vehicles, a scenario-based modeling approach is introduced when constructing the optimization model within the prediction window. This approach discretizes different possible electric vehicle arrival and departure behaviors and dynamically selects or updates representative scenarios during the rolling optimization process to improve the adaptability and robustness of the control strategy to fluctuations in user behavior.

[0091] This mechanism not only improves the real-time response capability of the strategy, but also solves the problems of strategy lag and rigidity in centralized scheduling. It is particularly suitable for transformer / feeder scenarios with frequent load changes and dense flexible resources, providing solid support for autonomous control capabilities.

[0092] The decision variables output by the optimization model need to be transformed into actual executable control commands, which will then be applied to the two flexible resources: electric vehicles and air conditioning load. Considering the diversity and functional boundaries of the resource control interfaces, the strategy execution logic is divided into the following two parts: Regarding the electric vehicle control logic, if the device supports bidirectional V2G functionality, the optimized output charging and discharging power can be directly mapped to actual power commands (in kW) and sent to the charging pile, which then controls the vehicle's power behavior. If the device only supports unidirectional charging, negative power values ​​will be automatically reset to zero, retaining only the charging strategy. Simultaneously, control commands can be issued according to set time periods or power curves, facilitating flexible scheduling configuration. If a vehicle is not connected, is about to leave the station, or has insufficient SOC, the system will determine that the vehicle is uncontrollable and automatically disable commands.

[0093] In the air conditioning load control logic, if the air conditioning unit is an inverter model, the optimization result is a continuous power quantity, which the system can convert into an air conditioning temperature setting command according to a set ratio (e.g., 70% power corresponds to 27°C). If the air conditioning unit is a fixed-frequency type, the optimization result is an on / off state (0 / 1). Before execution, a delay judgment needs to be made in conjunction with the on / off frequency constraint to avoid frequent start-stop of the equipment. To improve the fault tolerance of the strategy, the strategy execution logic also embeds a basic exception handling mechanism. For example, if the equipment communication fails, the control command is abnormal, or the user manually withdraws from participation, the system will automatically adjust its control weight or remove the equipment in the next round of rolling optimization.

[0094] The overall strategy execution process not only demonstrates a high degree of adaptability to equipment differences, but also possesses automatic fault tolerance, state awareness, and response adjustment capabilities, laying the foundation for the deployment of the strategy in actual engineering projects.

[0095] An effective control strategy lies not only in the accuracy of the one-time optimization result, but also in its ability to continuously self-evolve. To this end, a complete strategy feedback and self-correction mechanism is proposed to achieve closed-loop execution and dynamic updating of the strategy.

[0096] The first step is strategy feedback collection, including actual EV charging and discharging behavior, air conditioning operation curves, node voltage deviations, and total load response. This data is transmitted back through intelligent devices to form a complete strategy execution profile. The second step is strategy effectiveness evaluation. The system compares and analyzes the execution results with the model predictions to identify the sources of prediction and execution deviations, such as whether voltage limits are exceeded, whether peak-shaving pricing is implemented, and whether power quality has improved.

[0097] Based on this, model parameters are corrected, including correcting thermal inertia parameters for temperature change curve deviations, correcting access probability distributions for sudden changes in electric vehicle departure behavior, and updating sliding prediction weights for sudden changes in load curves. Simultaneously, the objective function weighting factors can be fine-tuned based on strategy effectiveness and user feedback. For example, the weight of the temperature offset penalty term can be appropriately increased when comfort deviations are too large, and the weight of the economic objective can be strengthened when electricity price response is not significant.
