Multi-Objective Coordinated Planning of Distributed Generation and AC/DC Hybrid Distribution Networks Based on a Multi-Scenario Technique Considering Timing Characteristics

Abstract

With increased direct current (DC) load density and the penetration of a large number of distributed generation (DG) units in alternating current (AC) distribution networks (DNs); a planning approach that considers transforming some of the AC lines into DC lines and building the DC network is proposed. Considering the DG output uncertainty and the load fluctuation, a planning model for an AC/DC hybrid distribution network (DN) with the DG based on the construction of multi-scenario technology with timing characteristics is built. In the DG configuration planning model, the lines to be transformed into DC form the access location and the decision regarding the DC or AC form of the newly built lines are considered optimizing variables. The DG investment, the network and converters of the DG and load, the active power loss and the voltage stability are considered in the objective functions. An improved adaptive niche genetic algorithm based on the fuzzy degree of membership and variance weighting is used to solve the nested model. Finally, considering the improved electrical and electronic engineers 33 (IEEE33) node system as an example, the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed planning method are verified. Compared to the plan without transforming some of the AC lines into DC lines and building a DC network, more DG can be admitted, and the economic cost of the AC/DC hybrid DN is notably decreased when planning to transform some of the AC lines into DC lines and build a DC network. The active power network loss and the voltage stability index are similarly further optimized.

A Distributed PV System Capacity Estimation Approach Based on Support Vector Machine with Customer Net Load Curve Features

“…Introducing a high penetration of DPVSs to the grid could have significant impacts on many aspects, including demand response (DR) capacity estimation [3][4][5][6], customer baseline load estimation [7,8], load forecasting [9,10] and distribution network planning [11,12]. Specifically, in terms of DR capacity estimation, the DR aggregators need to estimate how much DR capacity they have in order to formulate the reasonable bidding strategy in the electricity market.…”

Multi-Objective Virtual Power Plant Construction Model Based on Decision Area Division

“…After iterating many times, the pareto optimal solutions are finally obtained. Then, the priority selection of each bat in the pareto solution set is calculated [29], and the bat position with the largest priority selection is selected as the compromise optimal solution. First, Equations (26)-(28) are modified as:…”

4T Analog MOS Control-High Voltage High Frequency (HVHF) Plasma Switching Power Supply for Water Purification in Industrial Applications

“…A diode full bridge rectifier circuit was designed as the initial stage of the plasma power supply. The circuit rectifies the 220 V AC voltage to DC output voltage [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], which can be adjusted from 0 V to 300 V. A high frequency inverter circuit was designed and located, following by the rectifier DC link capacitor, which receives the DC voltage from the rectifier and converts it to a high frequency pulsating DC output voltage. The full-bridge PWM topology with high switching frequency was developed as an inverter circuit for the designed plasma power supply.…”
