The application belongs to the technical field of power systems, and provides a Monte Carlo-based reliability evaluation method for an IES-containing distribution network, comprising: firstly, generating a
system fault
state sequence covering three scenarios of a comprehensive
energy system, a distribution network and simultaneous faults of both by using
Markov chain Monte Carlo
simulation combined with
Gibbs sampling; secondly, constructing a differentiated load reduction model with tie-line power as a
coupling variable for different fault types, and iteratively solving an optimal reduction scheme by using a hierarchical distributed optimization strategy and a target
cascade analysis method; thirdly, aggregating and calculating expected power supply shortage, average power outage frequency and average power outage duration based on the scheme results to obtain three reliability indexes; and finally, judging the indexes by using a variance coefficient as a convergence criterion, outputting an
evaluation result if the accuracy is met, or continuing iteration until convergence. The application significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the reliability evaluation of the IES-containing distribution network, and provides direct
technical support for
system configuration and dispatching strategy optimization.
