Bi-level Multi-objective Joint Planning of Distribution Networks Considering Uncertainties

Abstract

With the increasing penetration of photovoltaics in distribution networks, the adaptability of distribution network under uncertainties needs to be considered in the planning of distribution systems. In this paper, the interval arithmetic and affine arithmetic are applied to deal with uncertainties, and an affine arithmetic based bi-level multi-objective joint planning model is built, which can obtain the planning schemes with low constraint-violation risk, high reliability and strong adaptability. On this basis, a bi-level multi-objective solution methodology using affine arithmetic based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II is proposed, and the planning schemes that simultaneously meet economy and adaptability goals under uncertainties can be obtained. To further eliminate bad solutions and improve the solution qualities, an affine arithmetic based dominance relation weakening criterion and a deviation distance based modification method are proposed. A 24-bus test system and a 10 kV distribution system of China are used for case studies. Different uncertainty levels are compared, and a sensitivity analysis of key parameters is conducted to explore their impacts on the final planning schemes. The simulation results verify the advantages of the proposed affine arithmetic based planning method.

An Analytical Method for Delineating Feasible Region for PV Integration Capacities in Net-zero Distribution Systems Considering Battery Energy Storage System Flexibility

“…However, the description and solution methods for individual PVICs are the main issues. References [6] and [7] used the Monte Carlo method and affine arithmetic method, respectively, to find feasible PV integration schemes including locations and their capacities. Reference [8] extended the security region to the total quadrant by treating PVs as negative loads.…”

Multi-stage Co-planning Model for Power Distribution System and Hydrogen Energy System Under Uncertainties

“…Index of power distribution system (PDS) scheduling time period W ITH the global concern for greenhouse gas emissions, clean and low-carbon renewable energy sources (RESs) are gradually replacing traditional fossil energy [1]. In the future RES-dominated power distribution system (PDS), how to effectively consume fluctuating RES while eliminating the adverse effects needs to be properly addressed [2]. Recently, with the development of power-to-hydrogen (PtH) technologies, electric hydrogen production is recognized as a promising way to accommodate the intermittent and volatile RES in PDS [3].…”

Coordinated Optimization of Distributed Wind Power and Electric Energy Storage Technologies

“…In the planning stage of the new distribution network, a coordinated optimization of the siting and capacity selection of both will be more beneficial to enhance the wind power consumption capacity of the distribution network and improve the system operation. In [7], the stochastic characteristics of distributed power sources and energy storage are considered to classify their operating states, and the state combinations are transformed into deterministic problems for distribution network expansion planning.…”
