Practical Automatic Planning for MV Distribution Network Considering Complementation of Load Characteristic and Power Supply Unit Partitioning

Abstract

A new practical automatic planning method for MV distribution network considering complementation of load characteristic and division of power supply is presented to solve the problems of large network size and low equipment utilization ratio caused by the lack of consideration of complementation of load characteristic in distribution network planning. First, based on the existing research results on load clustering and grid planning, the concepts of MV distribution network feeder block and power supply unit are redefined and the technical framework of MV distribution network planning considering division of power supply is designed. Then, the evaluation indexes of feeder block partitioning and power supply unit partitioning considering complementation of load characteristic are set up, and rotation center line distance weighting alternate location algorithm is proposed to divide the feeder block. Further, the MV distribution network planning model based on power supply unit partitioning is proposed, which takes the minimum value of the sum of interruption cost based on reliability index and line integrated cost of the planning year. Combining ant colony algorithm, automatic planning algorithm is proposed to get the combinatorial solution of trunk line and branch line. Finally, the scientificalness and practicability of the model and method in this paper was verified through the case study.

An Optimized Algorithm for Renewable Energy Forecasting Based on Machine Learning

“…For the standard example system, due to the lack of historical data, it is not possible to directly use the historical "wind power-load" time series data for scene clustering. In order to verify the method proposed in this paper, the time series model of reference [24] is used to generate the "wind power-load" time series data. After obtaining the "wind power-load" scene data through time series simulation, the scene clustering and representative typical scene extraction based on the K-medoids method are carried out, and five types of representative scene centers are obtained as shown in Tab.…”

Grid Planning Method of Medium Voltage Distribution Network Including Distributed Power Sources based on Timing Characteristics

“…Currently, research regarding grid planning for MV distribution networks has also achieved progress. Literature [15] proposes a practical automatic routing method for MV distribution networks that takes into account the complementary characteristics of loads and the division of power supply units. However, it fails to maximize the utilization of system resources because it does not consider the planning of distribution networks under the condition of DG grid connection.…”

Power Supply Unit Planning of Distribution Network Including Energy Storage based on N-1 Criterion

“…Literature [1] defines the multi-level modular structure and functions at each level of the distribution network, and proposes the planning process and division method for each level. Based on the geographical boundary constraints and the quantity constraints of power supply units, literature [2] optimizes and combines the grids with high boundary coincidence degree, and proposes the evaluation index of grid boundary degree to divide power supply units. In literature [3], a mathematical model of project life cycle cost considering power failure loss factors was constructed, and a new distribution grid planning method based on capacity and power supply reliability, that is, double Q, was proposed.…”
