Optimal Active Power Dispatching of Microgrid and Distribution Network Based on Model Predictive Control

First, a three-tier coordinated scheduling system consisting of a distribution network dispatch layer, a microgrid centralized control layer, and local control layer in the energy internet is proposed. The multi-time scale optimal scheduling of the microgrid based on Model Predictive Control（MPC） is then studied, and the optimized genetic algorithm and the microgrid multi-time rolling optimization strategy are used to optimize the datahead scheduling phase and the intra-day optimization phase. Next, based on the three-tier coordinated scheduling architecture, the operation loss model of the distribution network is solved using the improved branch current forward-generation method and the genetic algorithm. The optimal scheduling of the distribution network layer is then completed. Finally, the simulation examples are used to compare and verify the validity of the method.

A Two-Layer Active Power Optimization and Coordinated Control for Regional Power Grid Partitioning to Promote Distributed Renewable Energy Consumption

With the large-scale development and utilization of renewable energy,industrial flexible loads,as a kind of loadside resource with strong regulation ability,provide new opportunities for the research on renewable energy consumption problem in power systems.This paper proposes a two-layer active power optimization model based on industrial flexible loads for power grid partitioning,aiming at improving the line over-limit problem caused by renewable energy consumption in power grids with high proportion of renewable energy,and achieving the safe,stable and economical operation of power grids.Firstly,according to the evaluation index of renewable energy consumption characteristics of line active power,the power grid is divided into several partitions,and the interzone tie lines are taken as the optimization objects.Then,on the basis of partitioning,a two-layer active power optimization model considering the power constraints of industrial flexible loads is established.The upper-layer model optimizes the planned power of the inter-zone tie lines under the constraint of the minimum peak-valley difference within a day;the lower-layer model optimizes the regional source-load dispatching plan of each resource in each partition under the constraint of theminimumoperation cost of the partition,so as to reduce the line overlimit phenomenon caused by renewable energy consumption and save the electricity cost of industrial flexible loads.Finally,through simulation experiments,it is verified that the proposed model can effectively mobilize industrial flexible loads to participate in power grid operation and improve the economic stability of power grid.

Multi-period Two-stage Robust Optimization of Radial Distribution System with Cables Considering Time-of-use Price

In the existing multi-period robust optimization methods for the optimal power flow in radial distribution systems,the capability of distributed generators(DGs)to regulate the reactive power,the operation costs of the regulation equipment,and the current of the shunt capacitor of the cables are not considered.In this paper,a multi-period two-stage robust scheduling strategy that aims to minimize the total cost of the power supply is developed.This strategy considers the time-ofuse price,the capability of the DGs to regulate the active and reactive power,the action costs of the regulation equipment,and the current of the shunt capacitors of the cables in a radial distribution system.Furthermore,the numbers of variables and constraints in the first-stage model remain constant during the iteration to enhance the computation efficiency.To solve the second-stage model,only the model of each period needs to be solved.Then,their objective values are accumulated,revealing that the computation rate using the proposed method is much higher than that of existing methods.The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by actual 4-bus,IEEE 33-bus,and PG 69-bus distribution systems.
