Abstract

As the current calculation method of voltage/var sensitivity (VVS) could not reflect the temporal variations of power sources and load, the paper proposes a novel VVS calculation method to partition the distribution network containing renewable energy. Firstly, the defects of the existing VVS calculation methods are analyzed, and a novel VVS calculation method is proposed by adding reactive power output perturbation to the reactive power source. Secondly, the VVS matrix is fuzzified to obtain the membership matrix between each node. Based on the membership relationship between the reactive power source nodes, the nodes with a strong coupling relationship are merged to determine the initial number of partitioning. Then, the final partitioning result is determined according to the affiliation between each load node and each reactive power source. Finally, the partitioning result is evaluated based on the partitioning membership indexes. The proposed approach is tested on the IEEE 33-node distribution test system, and numerical simulations verify the high efficiency of partitioning. The simulation results show that the proposed method can reflect the temporal variations of power sources and load, and ensure the reasonable distribution of voltage and reactive power in each zone.

Background: The voltage/var control of the power system is an important means to ensure the safe, economic and stable operation of the system.

Objective: The paper proposes a novel VVS calculation method to partition the distribution network containing renewable energy.

Methods: Firstly, the existing problems of electrical distance index are analyzed. A novel VVS matrix calculation method is proposed, which calculates the VVS of each reactive power source to the remaining nodes by adding voltage/var output perturbation to the reactive power source. Secondly, the VVS matrix is fuzzified to obtain the membership matrix between each node. Based on the membership relationship between the reactive power source nodes, the power supply nodes with strong coupling relationship are merged to determine the initial number of the partitioning. Then, the final partitioning result is determined according to the affiliation between each load node and each reactive power source. Finally, the partitioning result is evaluated based on the sensitivity index of membership degree.

Results: The proposed approach is tested on the IEEE 33-node distribution test system and numerical simulations verify high efficiency of the partitioning. The simulation results show that the proposed method can reflect the temporal variations of power sources and load, and ensure the reasonable distribution of voltage and reactive power in each zone.

Conclusion: The proposed method can reflect the temporal variations of power sources and load, and ensure the reasonable distribution of voltage and reactive power in each zone. This paper proposed a fuzzy clustering partitioning based on a novel calculation method of VVS, which is suitable for the problem of variable voltage /var running state of the system under high-proportion DG access.
