Distribution Network Dynamic Reconfiguration Based on Improved Fuzzy C‐Means Clustering with Time Series Analysis

Abstract

The rapid growth of distributed energy resources integrated in distribution systems leads to an increasing need of continuously and automatically changing the system topology to realize the economic operation of distribution networks. This paper proposes an optimization model of dynamic reconfiguration for distribution networks based on a new method of time series analysis. Equivalent daily curve considering time‐varying nature of distributed generator and load demands is divided by an improved fuzzy C‐means clustering algorithm, where the indicator of section function is set to find the optimal reconfiguration time intervals. The uncertainty of distributed generator outputs and load demands is described by the interval algorithm. Then the affine Taylor expansion is adopted to solve the interval power flow equations. The reconfiguration optimization model is solved with decimal particle swarm optimization algorithm based on loop search. The optimal dynamic reconfiguration of a modified 70‐bus test system with distributed generators is carried out and the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method. © 2021 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Comprehensive Ecological Planning and Evaluation of Towns from the Perspective of Sustainable Development

“…If the box position is higher and its size is smaller, the algorithm performance is better. In Figure 5, method 1 is FCM [35], method 2 is KFCM [36], method 3 is IFCM [37], and method 4 is the improved fuzzy clustering method proposed in this experiment. KFCM is an improved fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm based on kernel.…”

A Bi-Level Optimization Model for Virtual Power Plant Membership Selection Considering Load Time Series

“…Ping W and Zhou H (2020) improved the K-means algorithm by using the idea of two orders to reduce the number of binning and improve the efficiency of picking equipment [20]. Gao Chun, Yu Aiqing, and Ding Yu (2021) used the recursive ordered clustering method to reduce the impact of distributed generation on the distribution network reconfiguration [21]. Yuan Tie-jiang and Cao Ji-lei (2022) used a combination of the sequential algorithm and clustering algorithm to reduce the wind power-load time sequence subsequence to improve the calculation speed of the subsequent optimal allocation process [22].…”
