Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of distribution network dispatching and energy management technology, and in particular to a method for characterizing the convex hull economic dispatch domain of a distribution network connection section. Background Technology
[0002] To achieve the goal of "carbon neutrality," the penetration rate of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power in the power system has increased significantly. However, their intermittency and uncertainty pose significant challenges to distribution network dispatch. As a core component for accommodating distributed energy resources, the distribution network's flexibility can support the operation of the upstream main grid. Quantifying this flexibility and balancing dispatch security and economy have become key issues in distribution network energy management.
[0003] Existing research often employs methods such as two-stage robust optimization and adjustable robust optimization to address uncertainties in distribution networks, but these methods have significant shortcomings: First, they focus on system operational safety, and the feasible regions they delineate include a large number of extreme and uneconomical scheduling schemes, making them difficult to apply in practical engineering. Second, traditional optimization models are prone to iterative oscillations and non-convergence problems when dealing with decision-dependent uncertainties, failing to meet the requirements of online scheduling. Third, they do not incorporate scheduling costs into the regional delineation objectives, thus failing to provide the upper-level main grid with a scheduling boundary reference that combines safety and economy.
[0004] With the increasing demand for coordinated dispatching of power transmission and distribution networks, there is an urgent need for an optimization method that can accurately quantify the economic dispatching area of the distribution network connection section and solve stably, in order to solve the problems of conservatism, lack of economy and solution efficiency of existing technologies, as well as the problems of "emphasizing safety while ignoring economy" and "easy oscillation and non-convergence in the current research on the dispatching area of distribution networks. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Step 4: Using normalization reconstruction technology, the decision-dependent two-stage robust optimization scheduling model in Step 3 is transformed into a decision-independent two-stage robust optimization scheduling model.

[0083] Compared with the prior art, the present invention, employing the above technical solution, has the following technical effects:
[0084] (1) Distributed energy access enables the distribution network to have scheduling flexibility, and its coordinated operation with the main grid depends on the quantification of the scheduling capability of the grid-connected line interface. Existing research on distribution network scheduling areas mostly focuses on operational safety, and the constructed feasible domains contain a large number of extreme uneconomical schemes. They have problems such as strong conservatism, poor economic efficiency and weak engineering practicality. Moreover, when dealing with decision-making that depends on uncertainty, the algorithm is prone to non-convergence, making it difficult to meet the main grid's precise requirements for the economic scheduling boundary of the distribution network.
[0085] (2) This method proposes a two-stage robust optimization model to delineate the convex hull economic dispatch region of the grid-connected line interface. On the one hand, under the premise of satisfying safety constraints, it eliminates uneconomical dispatch schemes, avoids excessive conservatism in the feasible region, and clarifies the economic dispatch range of the distribution network to the main grid. On the other hand, it transforms decision-dependent uncertainty into decision-independent uncertainty through normalization reconstruction technology, solves the oscillation and non-convergence problems of traditional column constraint generation algorithms, and ensures solution efficiency. At the same time, this region can provide a clear basis for the automatic cruise dispatch of the main grid and the economic evaluation of distribution network operation, ensuring the economic operation of the power grid under strong uncertainty and improving the engineering practicality and economy of distribution network dispatch.
