The invention discloses a locating and
sizing method and device for an intelligent
soft switch in a power distribution area,
terminal equipment and a storage medium, and belongs to the field of power distribution network optimization. The method comprises the following steps: constructing a bilevel planning model, a power distribution network operation constraint and an
energy storage equipment constraint according to electrical parameters, distributed energy parameters,
energy storage parameters and cost data; by taking the minimum total operation cost of the
system as a target, repeatedly executing a locating and
sizing optimization operation on the bilevel
programming model until a preset number of iterations is reached, and obtaining the installation position and the installation capacity of the intelligent
soft switch; the optimization operation comprises solving the current installation position and capacity of an upper-layer intelligent optimization model of the bilevel planning model; if the preset number of iterations is reached, the final installation position and capacity are determined; and if not, inputting into a lower-layer
operation scheduling model to construct intelligent
soft switch operation constraints, solving the lower-layer model under the three constraints, and updating the total operation cost of the current
system. According to the invention, the problem of multi-zone-area multi-intelligent soft switch collaborative optimization in the prior art is solved.
