Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microgrid operation and control technology, and particularly relates to a method and system for reactive power coordinated control of wind, solar and hydropower microgrids. Background Technology
[0002] The output of new energy sources is characterized by significant randomness, volatility, and intermittency. The high proportion of new energy access changes the unidirectional flow characteristics of power flow in microgrids, which can easily lead to frequent, rapid, and severe voltage fluctuations, especially at the end of the feeder, where voltage over-limit problems are particularly prominent.
[0003] In traditional microgrids, capacitor banks (CBs) and on-load tap changers (OLTCs), as discrete operating devices, cannot be continuously adjusted to adapt to rapid changes in renewable energy output. When the output of distributed photovoltaic, small hydropower, and other power sources fluctuates, voltage exceeding limits triggers the automatic voltage control system to frequently adjust OLTC taps and switch capacitor banks. This not only increases the number of equipment operations, causing mechanical losses and electrical wear, and shortening equipment lifespan, but may also cause unbalanced reactive power distribution, further exacerbating voltage fluctuations and creating a vicious cycle.
[0004] Small-scale pumped-storage hydroelectric units (PSHs) are characterized by fast response, wide adjustment range, and bidirectional power regulation. They can operate in both power generation and pumping modes, providing active power support while also offering reactive power support through excitation system regulation. This makes them an ideal resource for addressing voltage fluctuations in microgrids. However, existing research largely focuses on the peak-shaving and valley-filling functions of PSHs, neglecting to explore their role in reactive power and voltage regulation. There is a lack of comprehensive methods for synergistically optimizing PSHs with wind, solar, and hydropower resources to simultaneously suppress voltage fluctuations and minimize system operating losses.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-objective coordinated control method for microgrids that can synergistically optimize pumped storage units and wind, solar and hydropower resources. This method can smooth out fluctuations in renewable energy output, improve voltage quality, reduce network losses and equipment operating costs, decrease the number of operations of traditional reactive power regulation equipment, and extend equipment lifespan. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a multi-objective coordinated control method and system for wind, solar, and hydropower microgrids. The core concept of this invention is as follows: A multi-objective optimization framework is adopted, using the enhanced Epsilon constraint method to transform the two conflicting objectives of minimizing the equivalent load fluctuation of the power grid and minimizing the overall system operating loss into a series of single-objective problems. These problems are then solved using mixed-integer linear programming to obtain the Pareto front. Based on fuzzy membership functions, the optimal compromise solution is selected from the Pareto front, achieving coordinated optimization of the pumped-storage unit's power generation / pumping power curves, on-load tap changer tap positions, and capacitor bank switching schemes. By constructing a complete microgrid mathematical model, the power flow constraints of the distribution network, renewable energy output constraints, discrete reactive power compensation equipment constraints, and pumped-storage unit operating constraints are incorporated into the optimization framework. This ensures the feasibility and safety of the control strategy, thereby smoothing renewable energy output fluctuations, improving voltage quality, reducing network losses and equipment operating costs, decreasing the number of operations of traditional reactive power regulation equipment, and extending equipment lifespan.

[0019] This application presents a reactive power coordinated control method and system for wind-solar-hydro microgrids. By constructing a four-layer coordinated control architecture of "multi-objective optimization - enhanced Epsilon constraints - MILP solution - fuzzy decision-making," it achieves efficient coordinated optimization of discrete-continuous mixed variables in microgrids. First, by establishing a complete microgrid mathematical model, it incorporates DistFlow power flow constraints, renewable energy output characteristics, OLTC and CB discrete regulation constraints, and pumped-storage unit operation constraints into a unified framework, ensuring the physical feasibility of the optimization strategy. Second, with the objectives of minimizing equivalent load fluctuation and minimizing overall system operating losses, the enhanced Epsilon constraint method transforms the multi-objective problem into a series of single-objective sub-problems. Combined with mixed-integer linear programming, this method can fully obtain the Pareto front, avoiding the subjectivity and loss of non-convex fronts inherent in traditional weighted methods. Furthermore, based on fuzzy membership functions, it selects the optimal compromise solution from the Pareto front, balancing grid security and operational economy, and achieving a scientific trade-off among multiple objectives. Ultimately, the organic integration of the above architecture, while ensuring overall optimization quality, simultaneously improves the voltage stability, renewable energy absorption capacity, and pumped storage operation economy of the microgrid. It significantly reduces the number of OLTC and capacitor operations, reduces losses caused by frequent start-ups and shutdowns of pumped storage units, and extends equipment lifespan, providing an effective solution for the safe, stable, and economical operation of the microgrid.

With the objective functions of minimizing comprehensive economic losses and minimizing grid equivalent load fluctuations, and considering hydraulic constraints, operating condition transition constraints, and system power balance constraints of the pumped storage units, a multi-objective optimization scheduling model is established. The enhanced Epsilon constraint method is used to transform the multi-objective problem into a single-objective problem. The Pareto front is obtained through mixed-integer linear programming, and the optimal compromise solution is selected based on fuzzy membership functions to determine the power generation / pumping power and reactive power output plan of the pumped storage units, as well as the switching scheme for discrete reactive power equipment. Through the synergistic optimization of pumped storage units and wind, solar, and hydropower resources, while smoothing out renewable energy output fluctuations and improving voltage quality, the method effectively reduces network losses and equipment operation losses, decreases the number of operations of traditional reactive power regulation equipment, extends equipment lifespan, and achieves safe and economical operation of the microgrid.
