Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traffic electrification and tunnel lighting energy-saving control technology, specifically a Monte Carlo simulation system and method for the impact of electric vehicle tunnel lighting load. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid growth of electric vehicles, electric vehicle travel has a significant impact on the power load of transportation infrastructure. Tunnel lighting systems are the main energy-consuming equipment in highway tunnels, with power reaching tens or even hundreds of kilowatts.
[0003] Traditional tunnel lighting control mainly relies on fixed timing or simple traffic flow detection, failing to consider the dynamic impact of fluctuations in the number of electric vehicles and the distribution of travel times. The specific problems are as follows: (1) Due to factors such as policies, subsidies, and technological updates, electric vehicles are experiencing explosive growth, and the actual number of vehicles passing through each day fluctuates greatly. Traditional lighting control strategies based on fixed traffic flow prediction are difficult to adapt to this high randomness, which can easily lead to insufficient lighting or energy waste.
[0004] (2) Electric vehicles return home to charge after the evening rush hour, and their charging load may overlap with the tunnel's basic nighttime lighting load in time, causing double pressure on the regional power grid.
[0005] (3) To take advantage of off-peak electricity prices at night or to meet commuting needs, drivers' travel time is more concentrated during morning and evening rush hours. This concentration effect leads to a rapid increase in tunnel traffic in a short period of time, which in turn triggers the lighting more frequently and for longer periods, thereby increasing the instantaneous peak load.
[0006] Furthermore, existing technologies lack comprehensive modeling of multiple factors such as the seasonal variations of electric vehicles and the intensity of natural light, resulting in low accuracy in tunnel lighting load prediction and difficulty in supporting power grid dispatching and tunnel energy-saving retrofits. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simulation method that can scientifically assess the impact of electric vehicles on tunnel lighting load, providing a basis for decision-making in intelligent tunnel lighting control.

S3. Calculate the normalized natural light intensity outside the tunnel, and calculate the natural light intensity factor based on the normalized natural light intensity outside the tunnel; S4. Divide the tunnel to be evaluated into three sections: the entrance section, the transition section, and the exit section. Set the baseline threshold for the minimum traffic flow required to turn on the enhanced lighting at night and the coefficient for each section. Calculate the dynamic threshold for lighting control in each section. S5. Set the base traffic flow when there are no electric vehicles in the tunnel, add the total number of electric vehicles obtained in S2, and calculate the total traffic flow in the tunnel. Use the ratio of the total traffic flow to the dynamic threshold for lighting control obtained in S4 as the traffic flow ratio, and make a dimming level decision based on the traffic flow ratio. S6. Set the total power of basic tunnel lighting and calculate the power of enhanced lighting in each section. Add the power of enhanced lighting in each section to the total power of basic lighting to obtain the total power of tunnel lighting. Combine the total power of tunnel lighting for each hour to form a load curve and calculate the daily electricity consumption, daily peak load and peak-valley difference. S7. Repeat steps S1-S6, and use Monte Carlo simulation to collect and statistically analyze the daily electricity consumption, daily peak load and peak-valley difference samples of the tunnel.

The formula is: In the formula, the (Unit: vehicles / hour), indicating the number of vehicles / hour. The number of times each hour occurs. This process uses a "lottery" method (multiple distribution) to distribute the daily number of electric vehicle trips calculated by S1 to the 24 hours of the day according to the probability of morning and evening peak hours.

[0037] Based on the calculation of normalized natural light intensity outside the tunnel, the natural light intensity factor is used. : .
[0038] S4. Calculation of Lighting Control Thresholds The tunnel to be evaluated is divided into three sections along the direction of traffic: the entrance section, the transition section, and the exit section. The entrance section is the section at the tunnel entrance that adapts to changes in external brightness; the transition section is the section connecting to the entrance section and whose brightness gradually decreases; and the exit section is the section at the tunnel exit that adapts to changes in external brightness. The specific division methods are based on distance or proportion to the tunnel length. (1) Based on distance: the inlet section is 50-100m inward from the entrance end; the transition section connects to the inlet section and is 100-200m in length; the outlet section is 50-100m inward from the outlet end into the tunnel. (2) Based on the proportion of tunnel length: the entrance section accounts for 10%~15% of the total tunnel length; the transition section accounts for 20%~30% of the total tunnel length; the exit section accounts for 10%~15% of the total tunnel length, and the rest is the basic lighting section. The basic lighting section does not participate in the dynamic dimming of enhanced lighting.

Set the section coefficient for each zone. , The entry section, transition section, and exit section are respectively , and : Each section in The dynamic threshold for lighting control at any given time is The calculation formula is: The unit is The dynamic threshold represents the traffic flow threshold that triggers enhanced lighting for each hour and each section. , and The corresponding calculated dynamic thresholds for lighting control are as follows: , and ; for , The value range is 0.4-1. The value is 1 at night and less than 1 during the day, with a minimum value of 0.4.
[0040] S5, Dimming Level Decision Set basic traffic volume The unit is pcu / h, representing the background traffic flow in the tunnel each hour when there are no electric vehicles. This is set based on historical statistical data. Total traffic volume at any time for: In the formula, The number of new electric vehicle trips per hour is calculated for S2.
[0041] Calculate the traffic flow ratio The formula is: , and The corresponding traffic flow ratios are as follows: , and .
[0042] according to Make dimming level decisions: Dimming level 0 indicates that the enhanced lighting is off, dimming level 0.5 indicates that the enhanced lighting fixtures operate at 50% of their rated power (e.g., through pulse width modulation dimming or grouped intermittent lighting), and dimming level 1 indicates that the enhanced lighting fixtures are fully on at 100% of their rated power.
[0043] pass , and Calculated They are respectively , and The values of 0.7 and 1.2 in this step, and in S4... The value is an empirical parameter set according to the tunnel lighting design specifications and typical operating data.
[0044] S6, Load Curve Synthesis Set the total power of basic lighting The unit is kW, and this power is maintained at all times. Set the rated power of the enhanced lighting for each zone. , These correspond to the inlet section, transition section, and outlet section, respectively, with units of kW. The total power of the tunnel lighting at all times is: In hours The x-axis is the calculated value. Using the vertical axis as the ordinate, connect sequentially The daily tunnel lighting load curve is obtained by taking discrete points of the total tunnel lighting power at each time point. Based on the load curve, the following three characteristic quantities are calculated: Calculate daily electricity consumption The formula is: Calculate daily peak load The formula is: Calculate peak-valley difference The formula is: Electricity consumption of the day The unit is kWh, daily electricity consumption. This represents the area enclosed by the load curve and the time axis. Daily peak load. Peak-valley difference The units are all kW. Daily peak load The maximum value of the load curve, the peak-to-valley difference Reflects the magnitude of load fluctuations. for .
[0045] This step transforms the "control decision" into the "energy consumption result". S4 determines whether to enhance lighting, and S5 determines the dimming level (which determines how to turn on the lights). This step calculates how much electricity will be consumed and what the load curve looks like.

The calculation of the above three statistics represents an improvement from "single simulation" to "reliable conclusions." Through the law of large numbers and statistical methods, scientifically credible assessment results are obtained, showing how much more electricity will be used on average each day, the maximum possible surge, and that the reliability of the conclusions is 95%.
[0047] The present invention also provides a Monte Carlo simulation system for the impact of electric vehicles on tunnel lighting load to implement the above method, comprising: an electric vehicle quantity generation module (for executing step S1), a travel time allocation module (for executing step S2), a natural light calculation module (for executing step S3), a lighting threshold calculation module (for executing step S4), a dimming level decision module (for executing step S5), and a load synthesis and statistics module (for executing steps S6 and S7). Based on the above technical solution, the present invention will be further illustrated by the following embodiments: Example 1 This embodiment takes a two-way four-lane highway tunnel as the object and uses the method of the present invention to simulate and evaluate the impact of electric vehicles on the tunnel lighting load.

[0058] In this embodiment, the relationship curve between the natural light intensity factor and time is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The horizontal axis represents hours. (0~23), the vertical axis represents the basic natural light intensity factor. The value ranges from 0.4 to 1. The curve remains at 1 at night (6 PM to 6 AM the next day), gradually decreases from 6 AM, reaches its lowest point of 0.4 at 12 PM, and then gradually rises back to 1 at 6 PM. This curve reflects the dynamic adjustment of the tunnel lighting control threshold with the intensity of natural light: the threshold decreases during the day (more intense lighting makes it easier to trigger), and the threshold increases at night (more intense lighting makes it harder to trigger), thus achieving energy saving.

[0065] but: Repeat the calculation for all t=0-23 periods to obtain the complete daily load curve. Calculate daily indicators: Daily electricity consumption (Example calculated value is 1865kWh).
[0066] Daily peak load (Example appears at t=18, 117.1kW).
[0067] Peak-valley difference (Minimum power in the early morning was 32.8kW, resulting in 84.3kW).
[0068] S7, Monte Carlo Simulation and Statistics Repeat steps 1-6 for a total of Each time, a random number is generated independently.

[0071] Peak-valley difference Expected value = 84.1kW, Standard deviation = 3.2kW, 95% confidence interval kW.
[0072] Comparison of the impact of different numbers of electric vehicles on the daily load curve: Under the same basic traffic flow, the annual average daily basic number of electric vehicles was set separately. The average daily traffic volume was calculated using Monte Carlo simulations with values of 0, 125, 250, and 375 vehicles per day (corresponding to 0, 162.5, 325, and 487.5 vehicles per day after the July adjustment factor of 1.3). The average daily load curve was obtained as follows: Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The horizontal axis represents hours (0-23), and the vertical axis represents the total power of tunnel lighting (kW). The graph shows four curves, each corresponding to the average daily number of electric vehicle bases per year. The average daily load curves are for 0 vehicles / day (no electric vehicles), 125 vehicles / day, 250 vehicles / day, and 375 vehicles / day. (From...) Figure 3 It is evident that with the increase in the number of electric vehicles, the lighting power during morning and evening peak hours (7-9 am and 5-7 pm) rises significantly, while the changes are not significant at night and at noon. This result indicates that the concentrated effect of electric vehicle travel significantly increases the peak load and peak-valley difference of tunnel lighting, providing a quantitative basis for energy-saving retrofitting of tunnel lighting.

[0075] The rest is the same as in Example 1.
[0076] Example 3 This embodiment introduces a coupling analysis of electric vehicle charging load and lighting load. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the calculation in step S6 of Embodiment 1...
