Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system planning and operation control technology, and in particular to a two-layer planning method for AC / DC hybrid distribution networks based on the collaboration of VSC and ESS. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing integration of renewable energy, DC loads, and energy storage devices into distribution networks, traditional AC distribution networks face higher demands in terms of network losses, voltage control, and renewable energy consumption. DC distribution technology offers advantages such as lower losses, reduced AC / DC conversion stages, easier integration of DC power sources and storage devices, and greater flexibility in control. Therefore, building a hybrid AC / DC distribution network on the existing AC distribution network has become an important development direction for improving the overall operational performance of distribution networks.
[0003] However, most existing studies on distribution network site selection and capacity planning are limited to the capacity configuration of a single distributed power source or independent energy storage, and rarely involve the AC / DC flexible transformation of the original AC distribution network, especially lacking in-depth discussions on the coordinated site selection and capacity planning of VSC (voltage source converter) and ESS (energy storage system).
[0004] Meanwhile, the limited planning methods often still use deterministic power flow models or single static scenarios, failing to establish high-precision scenario reduction models, making it difficult to effectively adapt to the strong temporal fluctuations and uncertainties on the source and load sides of hybrid distribution networks. In addition, existing planning mostly adopts single-layer optimization models, which cannot simultaneously take into account the refined coordination of investment allocation and scheduling operation, making it difficult to maximize the overall comprehensive benefits of the system under complex AC and DC power flow constraints.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a two-layer planning method for AC / DC hybrid distribution networks that takes into account the uncertainty of source-load timing and realizes the coordination of VSC and ESS, so as to significantly improve the economy and operational stability of the system. Summary of the Invention

[0085] Step 4: The upper-level planning model uses a genetic algorithm with an elite strategy to solve the problem, while the lower-level running model uses a second-order cone programming method to solve the optimal running schedule problem under the current configuration. The logical relationship diagram of the two-level planning is as follows: Figure 4 As shown; the optimal operating cost obtained from the lower layer is fed back to the upper layer and the individual fitness is calculated. Through collaborative optimization iteration between the upper and lower layers, the optimal AC / DC hybrid distribution network planning scheme with the lowest total system cost is finally obtained. The flowchart of the two-layer optimization model solution is shown below. Figure 5 As shown: Step ①: Input initial values for annual solar load dataset, network parameters, VSC, and ESS planning parameters; Step 2: Use a genetic algorithm with an elitist strategy to solve the upper-level planning problem.

If Then the node VSC is not installed there; if Then the node ESS is not installed at this location.
[0087] Step 3: Pass the configuration scheme of each individual in the upper-level population as a known constraint to the lower-level operating model. With the goal of minimizing the overall system operating cost, derive the optimal overall operating cost and operating state under this configuration scheme, and return the cost to the upper level to form the main problem objective function: For the first The first generation of the population individual Decode the VSC and ESS configuration schemes: (45); In the formula: Represents the individual decoding function; Indicates the first VSC installation location and capacity plan for each individual; Indicates the first The installation location, rated energy capacity, and rated power capacity scheme for each individual ESS.

[0090] Step 4: Calculate the fitness value of each individual in the population, rank the individuals in the population according to the calculated fitness value; use the elite retention strategy to enter the next generation with the best fitness of the current generation, and perform elite retention, crossover and mutation operations on the remaining population to generate a new offspring population. Since the upper-level planning model is a cost minimization problem, the first... The fitness of each individual is: (48); In the formula: Indicates the first The fitness of each individual; This represents the fitness correction parameter, used to avoid a denominator of 0.

[0094] Example 1: This invention uses a 10kV distribution network with IEEE 33 nodes as an example for analysis. The parameters of the VSC and ESS to be optimized are set. The genetic algorithm population size is 100, and the maximum number of iterations is 100. When the fitness remains unchanged, the iterations of the upper and lower layers end, and the planning results are output. Furthermore, to verify the superiority of the proposed model, three comparative scenarios are set up for analysis: Scenario 1 involves collaborative location and capacity determination of VSC and ESS, i.e., the model proposed in this example; Scenario 2 involves location and capacity determination of only VSC, without considering ESS collaboration; Scenario 3 involves location and capacity determination of only ESS, without considering VSC collaboration. Table 1 shows the planning results for VSC, Table 2 shows the running results for ESS planning, and Table 3 shows the running results for the planning schemes of the three models.

[0097]
[0098] The topology diagram of the IEEE 33-node example after planning using the method proposed in this example is as follows. Figure 6 As shown in Tables 1 to 3: The model proposed in this example has the best overall economic benefits. Although Model 3 has the lowest initial investment cost, it faces line overload during operation due to the lack of AC / DC flexible interconnection and power flow optimization support for VSC. Its power purchase cost, network loss cost, and curtailment cost all increase significantly.
[0099] Although Model 2 effectively improves the overall power flow distribution of the network through flexible interconnection, it lacks the role of energy storage resources in flexibly shaving peaks and filling valleys over time. To cope with extreme peak and valley conditions, it has to increase the rated transmission capacity of VSC compared to Model 1, resulting in a higher total investment cost and a higher overall cost than Model 1.
[0100] As can be seen, the planning model proposed in this example fully coordinates the spatial power flow regulation of VSC and the temporal peak shaving and valley filling of ESS, minimizing the network loss of the system and improving the renewable energy absorption capacity, thereby maximizing the overall benefits.
[0101] Figure 7 This is a comparison chart of voltage curves for an example of the present invention, provided by... Figure 7 It can be seen that: Scenario 3 has the lowest overall voltage level, especially with a significant voltage drop at the end of the AC feeder. This is due to the lack of AC / DC flexible interconnection and dynamic reactive power compensation of VSC. Relying solely on the active power charging and discharging of ESS is insufficient to fundamentally overcome the reactive power shortage and power flow transmission bottleneck of long-distance AC lines, resulting in weak voltage support capability at the end nodes.
[0102] In contrast, Scenario 2 introduces a VSC through AC / DC conversion, fully leveraging its reactive power support and active power transmission capabilities, resulting in a significant increase in the overall grid voltage level. However, due to the lack of ESS (Emerging Power Supply) for peak shaving and valley filling over time, relying solely on VSC regulation can easily lead to excessively high voltages at some feeder nodes when facing extreme source-load interaction conditions such as localized large-scale photovoltaic power generation, increasing the risk of localized overvoltages. Scenario 1, as presented in this invention, demonstrates the optimal voltage stabilization effect and steady-state control capability.
