Abstract

With the continuous increase in the grid-connected capacity of distributed photovoltaics in rural distribution networks, it has become extremely urgent to achieve the flexible transformation of distributed photovoltaics, enabling them to be measurable, adjustable, and controllable. Based on this backdrop, this paper proposes a rolling approximate dynamic programming (ADP) model for rural distribution networks under the process of distributed photovoltaic flexible transformation. Firstly, taking into account the process of distributed photovoltaic flexible transformation, based on the concept of “multi-stage planning and first-stage implementation”, a rolling multi-stage stochastic programming (MSSP) model for rural distribution networks is established. The MSSP model comprehensively considers various factors such as the construction progress of distributed photovoltaics and the dynamic changes in power demand in rural areas at different stages. Secondly, using the ADP algorithm based on the Markov decision process (MDP) as the core, a rolling ADP algorithm is developed. This algorithm can iteratively optimize the decision-making process in each stage, thereby realizing the rolling solution of the proposed planning model. Through this approach, the model can adapt to the changing scenarios in the process of rural distribution network planning and distributed photovoltaic development. Finally, the improved IEEE 33-bus typical system is employed to validate the proposed model and algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model can effectively address the challenges in the process of distributed photovoltaic flexible transformation in rural distribution networks. It can obtain an optimal configuration plan that not only offers better economic benefits but also exhibits a stronger ability to handle the continuously emerging long-term uncertainties.

Abstract
针对风光储场站中新能源出力波动及负荷扰动导致系统功率和频率变化的问题,提出多场景下混合储能协调控制策略。首先,针对混合储能过度充放的问题,提出混合储能功率分配策略,该策略通过模糊控制对低通滤波器的时间常数进行自适应调整,基于超级电容的荷电状态(state of charge, SOC)分为5个区域,每个区域根据SOC的变化实时调整时间常数,一定程度上保证了超级电容充放电的合理性;其次,针对混合储能主动支撑风光储场站频率问题,对混合储能逆变器采用虚拟同步机(virtual synchronous generator, VSG)控制,并对转动惯量和阻尼系数进行自适应调整,降低系统因功率扰动造成的频率最大偏差;最后,在PSCAD/EMTDC中搭建风光储场站的仿真模型,通过设置多个场景验证所提策略的有效性。

To address the problem of power and frequency changes caused by fluctuations in new energy output and load disturbances in wind and solar storage stations, a hybrid energy-storage (HES)-coordinated control strategy is proposed for multiple scenarios. First, a strategy for the power distribution of HES was proposed in response to the problem of excessive charging and discharging. This strategy adaptively adjusts the time constant of the low-pass filter using fuzzy control. Based on the state-of-charge (SOC) of the supercapacitor, it is divided into five regions, and each region adjusts the time constant in real-time based on the changes in SOC, ensuring the rationality of the charging and discharging of the supercapacitor to some extent. Second, to address the frequency issue of HES that actively supports wind-solar storage stations, virtual synchronous generator control is adopted for the HES inverter, and adaptive adjustments are made to the moment of inertia and damping coefficient to reduce the maximum frequency deviation caused by power disturbances in the system. Finally, a simulation model of the wind and solar storage station is built in PSCAD/EMTDC, and the effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified by setting up multiple scenarios.

Under the dual carbon background, a key task of the planning department of the local power supply company is to carry out energy storage planning in conjunction with distributed photovoltaic planning. This paper presents a practical model and solution method for energy storage location and capacity determination for distributed photovoltaic consumption in medium-voltage distribution networks. First, production simulation is used to analyze the impact of distributed photovoltaic grid connection on the distribution network. Second, a scenario reduction method is proposed based on a robust idea, whereby the scenario with the most serious impact on distributed photovoltaic consumption in a distribution network is selected. Finally, a linear optimization model is proposed for the location and capacity of the medium-voltage distribution network. With the goal of minimizing the maximum charging and discharging power (electricity) per hour of energy storage, the line overload and out-of-limit node voltage constraints are expressed as a linear function of the charging and discharging power of energy storage, using the sensitivity coefficient method. The case study of the improved IEEE33 bus system shows that the solution method proposed in this paper reduces the complexity of the problem by simplifying the two-layer optimization problem into a single-layer, thereby reducing the number of constraints by narrowing the scenarios for linear optimization to quickly and effectively determine the location and capacity of energy storage.

Little has been done in the study of these intriguing questions, and I do not wish to give the impression that any extensive set of ideas exists that could be called a "theory." What is quite surprising, as far as the histories of science and philosophy are concerned, is that the major impetus for the fantastic growth of interest in brain processes, both psychological and physiological, has come from a device, a machine, the digital computer. In dealing with a human being and a human society, we enjoy the luxury of being irrational, illogical, inconsistent, and incomplete, and yet of coping. In operating a computer, we must meet the rigorous requirements for detailed instructions and absolute precision. If we understood the ability of the human mind to make effective decisions when confronted by complexity, uncertainty, and irrationality then we could use computers a million times more effectively than we do. Recognition of this fact has been a motivation for the spurt of research in the field of neurophysiology. The more we study the information processing aspects of the mind, the more perplexed and impressed we become. It will be a very long time before we understand these processes sufficiently to reproduce them. In any case, the mathematician sees hundreds and thousands of formidable new problems in dozens of blossoming areas, puzzles galore, and challenges to his heart's content. He may never resolve some of these, but he will never be bored. What more can he ask?
