DETAILED DESCRIPTION

When determining the capability of a feeder in accepting the DG, the power flow simulation calculation method is usually adopted, while the modeling for simulation is required to be performed according to a specific condition, and the obtained result is required to be determined by using a try-and-error repetitive power flow calculation, which is usually time-consuming. Thus it is difficult to be implemented in the application of DG's dispatching and operation control in power grid. In addition, the capacity for accepting the DG is directly related to the load on the feeder and line impedance, the load is usually analyzed by adopting a single-point fixed value method during analysis of the capability of accepting the DG. The capability for accepting the DG have time-varying characteristic due to the time-varying characteristic of the load, so that the calculation result of the maximum generation capability of DG in the distribution feeder, obtained under the extreme condition without considering the factor of the load change, is conservative, and the potential of DG cannot be fully developed and utilized. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method and device for rapidly and accurately determining the capability of the feeder of a distribution network in terms of accepting the DG and a storage medium.

Here, in order to make the characteristics and technical contents of the disclosure understood in more detail, implementation of the disclosure will be described below in combination with the drawings in detail. The appended drawings are only adopted for descriptions as references and not intended to limit the disclosure.

The embodiments of the disclosure provide a quantitative calculation method for determining the capability of the feeder of the distribution network in terms of accepting the DG under a steady state constraint for certain node of the feeder of the distribution network. According to the method, three-phase mutual-inductance of the feeder, loss of the feeder and the time-varying characteristic of load are comprehensively considered, a strong basis can be provided for planning and operation control of DG in distribution network, and it also improves the safety, economy and reliability of the distribution network with DG integration.

According to the calculation method disclosed by the embodiments of the disclosure for the capability of the feeder in terms of accepting the DG, the capability of DG in the feeder of the distribution network may be accurately reflected. FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of connection of DG to the feeder. It is assumed that there are totally N nodes on a three-phase main feeder in the distribution network, the loads are connected to three phases of each node respectively, and in the figure, the node 0 represents a distribution bus. The calculation method mainly includes three key steps: analysis of voltage variations of three-phase feeder, calculation of line loss and voltage drop. At first, the voltage variation of the node where the DG is connected is calculated through active power injected by the DG with considering the feeder loss and mutual-inductance parameters of three-phase lines. Duo to the mutual-inductance parameters of the three-phase lines, the voltages variations of the phase A, phase B and phase C of the feeder are different even though the three-phase feeder is connected with the same load. By this step, the phase with a maximum voltage increase in the three phases with DG integration is determined. Then, for the phase determined in the previous step, the active and reactive power losses between node 0 and node where the DG is connected are calculated according to the loads and line parameters of the three-phase feeder. Finally, the voltage drop between the node 0 and node where the DG is connected is calculated according to the active loads and reactive loads of the feeder and the active and reactive power loss of the lines. Considering the steady-state voltage constraint, the maximum active power value of DG connected to the node can be calculated through a voltage drop formula. Meanwhile, considering the constraint of thermal limit of the line, the maximum active power value of the DG connected to the node also can be calculated. The minimum value of them is the maximum active power value of the DG accepted by the feeder node.

A flow of the calculation method is provided by the embodiments of the disclosure for the capability for accepting the DG under the steady state constraint, as shown in FIG. 1, specifically includes the following steps.

(I) A node position at which a DG is connected to in the feeder is selected, and load information at different nodes in the feeder, line parameters and a upper voltage limit value V_upper and maximum current limit value I_max of the feeder are collected, wherein the load information includes active loads and reactive loads at the nodes, and the line parameters include self-impedance and mutual-impedance of three-phase lines.

It is set that the node position at which the DG is connected to in the feeder is j+1, and an equation for calculating a voltage drop between two adjacent nodes j and j+1 of the feeder in consideration of mutual inductance between feeders according to a Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) is as follows:

$\begin{array}{cc}\left[\begin{array}{c}{V}^a\\ V^{b^j}\\ V_j^{c^j}\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}{V}^a\\ V^{b^{j+1}}\\ V_{j+1}^{c^{j+1}}\end{array}\right]+l_{j,j+1}*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{Z}_{\mathrm{aa}}& Z_{\mathrm{ab}}& Z_{\mathrm{ac}}\\ Z_{\mathrm{ba}}& Z_{\mathrm{bb}}& Z_{\mathrm{bc}}\\ Z_{\mathrm{ca}}& Z_{\mathrm{cb}}& Z_{\mathrm{cc}}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}{I}_{j,j+1}^a\\ I_{j,j+1}^b\\ I_{j,j+1}^c\end{array}\right],& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

In the formula, V_j^a, V_j^b and V_j^c are voltages of the three phases at the node j respectively, I_j,j+1^a, I_j,j+1^b and I_j,j+1^c are currents of the three-phase lines between the node j and node j+1 respectively, Z_aa, Z_bb and Z_cc are self-impedance of a unit length of the three phases respectively, Z_ab, Z_ac, Z_ba, Z_bc, Z_ca and Z_cb are mutual impedance of the unit length between the three phases and l_j,j+1 is a length between node j and j+1. For the single phase, the array of mutual impedance is 0.

(II) If the DG is connected to the node j+1, considering mutual inductance of the three-phase feeder, active power loss and reactive power loss of each segment of line in the feeder are calculated.

As shown in the three-phase feeder model in FIG. 3, the three-phase feeder model includes self-inductance and mutual-inductance of the three phases. It is assumed that the distribution node voltage of the feeder is V₀, the upper voltage limit V_upper of the feeder is generally an increase of 5% compared to the rated voltage. When the line loss between adjacent nodes of the feeder is calculated, the voltage drop and angle of each node may be neglected, thus the voltage can use V₀∠0 for loss calculation.

The apparent power losses of the three-phase lines is calculated according to the formula (2):

$\begin{array}{cc}\left\{\begin{array}{c}{S}_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^a=\left(I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^a{Z}_{\mathrm{aa}}+I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^b{Z}_{\mathrm{ab}}+I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^c{Z}_{\mathrm{ac}}\right)\times {\left(I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^a\right)}^{*}*l_{j,j+1}\\ S_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^b=\left(I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^a{Z}_{\mathrm{ab}}+I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^b{Z}_{\mathrm{bb}}+I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^c{Z}_{\mathrm{bc}}\right)\times {\left(I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^b\right)}^{*}*l_{j,j+1}\\ S_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^c=\left(I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^a{Z}_{\mathrm{ac}}+I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^b{Z}_{\mathrm{bc}}+I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^c{Z}_{\mathrm{cc}}\right)\times {\left(I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^c\right)}^{*}*l_{j,j+1}\end{array}\right\},& \left(2\right)\end{array}$

in the formula, * represents the complex conjugate, and S_Loss,j^a, S_Loss,j^b and S_Loss,j^c are apparent power losses of the three phases respectively;

The loss currents I_Loss,j^a, I_Loss,j^b and I_Loss,j^c of the three phases of the feeder are calculated according to the formula (3) respectively:

$\begin{array}{cc}{I}_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^a=\frac{\sum _{i=j+1}^N{P}_{\mathrm{Load},i}+J\sum _{j=i+1}^{N-1}{Q}_{\mathrm{Load},i}}{V_0}\mathrm{\angle 0°}{I}_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^b=\frac{\sum _{i=j+1}^N{P}_{\mathrm{Load},i}+J\sum _{j=i+1}^{N-1}{Q}_{\mathrm{Load},i}}{V_0}\angle -120°I_{\mathrm{Loss},j}^c=\frac{\sum _{i=j+1}^N{P}_{\mathrm{Load},i}+J\sum _{j=i+1}^{N-1}{Q}_{\mathrm{Load},i}}{V_0}\mathrm{\angle 120°},& \left(3\right)\end{array}$

where J is an imaginary unit, a real part represents line active power, and an imaginary part represents line reactive power; and the active loss P_Loss,i^a and reactive loss Q_Loss,i^a of the line of the phase a are shown in the following formula (4):P^a_Loss,j=real(S^a_Loss,j)Q^a_Loss,j=imag(S^a_Loss,j)  (4),

in the formula, real and imag represent real and imaginary part of complex respectively.

(III) A voltage variation of each segment of line of the feeder is calculated according to the calculated line active and reactive losses.

As shown in the diagram of voltage vectors between the nodes j and j+1 in FIG. 4, the angle between the different nodal voltage of the feeder is very small, thus the voltage drop between the successive nodes can be approximately equal to the real part of the impedance drop, and the voltage variation of each phase is calculated according to the formula (5):ΔU^a_j,j+1=real(I^a_j,j+1Z_aa+I^b_j,j+1Z_ab+I^c_j,j+1Z_ac)*l_j,j+1 ΔU^b_j,j+1=real(I^b_j,j+1Z_ba+I^a_j,j+1Z_ba+I^c_j,j+1Z_bc)*l_j,j+1 ΔU^c_j,j+1=real(I^c_j,j+1Z_cc+I^a_j,j+1Z_ca+Iⁿ_j,j+1Z_cb)*l_j,j+1  (5),

In the formula, ΔU_j,j+1^a, ΔU_j,j+1^b and ΔU_j,j+1^c are the voltage drops between adjacent nodes j and j+1 of the three phases.

The currents I_j,j+1^a, I_j,j+1^b and I_j,j+1^c between the nodes j and j+1 can be determined by the active and reactive power of the lines and the voltage at the node j+1, and are calculated according to a formula (6):

$\begin{array}{cc}{I}_{j,j+1}=\frac{P_{j+1,N}+{\mathrm{JQ}}_{j+1,N}}{U_{j+1}},& \left(6\right)\end{array}$

in the formula, P_Load,i and Q_Load,i represent the load active power and reactive power at node i respectively, and P_Loss,i and Q_Loss,i represent line active loss and reactive loss between nodes i and i+1 respectively.

(IV) The calculated voltage variation of each phase after the distributed power supply is connected to the feeder is compared to determine the phase with a maximum variation, and for the single phase with the maximum voltage variation, a maximum generation capacity of the DG at the connection node is calculated under the voltage constraint according to a formula (8).

Under the normal condition, the DG are connected at different nodes of the feeder under power factor control manner, and operates at a relatively higher power factor. Therefore, in the embodiments of the disclosure, the DG is considered as an active power source. After the DG connects to the distribution network, the voltage of each node in the feeder will be increased, and continuous increase of output power of the DG may make the voltage of the node exceed the limit (V>V_upper). When the voltage of a certain phase of the three-phase feeder exceeds the limit, it means that a corresponding output value of the DG is the maximum capability of the node for accepting DG at this moment. After the DG connects to the node of the feeder, its output power of the three phases is balanced. However, the line parameters of the three phases of the feeder are different, so that output of the DG increases the voltages of the three phases of the feeder to different extents, and when the maximum capability of DG in the feeder is calculated, the phase with the maximum voltage increase should be taken as a reference.

It is assumed that the DG connects to the node j+1, a certain output power value P_dg,j+1 of the DG is given, the voltage variation of the node compared to voltage of distribution bus is calculated according to the above formula, and the phase with the maximum voltage increase of the three phases of the feeder is obtained by comparison. If the result is determined to be that the phase A has the maximum voltage increase, and the voltage drop between the node 0 and the node j+1 where the DG is connected to can be calculated according to a formula (8):V_upper−V₀=ΔU^a_1,2+ΔU^a_2,3+ . . . ΔU^a_j−1,j+ΔU^a_j,j+1  (8),

where V₀ is the voltage of distribution bus;

$\begin{array}{cc}\Delta U_{j,j+1}^a=\mathrm{real}\left(I_{j,j+1}^a{Z}_{\mathrm{aa}}+I_{j,j+1}^b{Z}_{\mathrm{ab}}+I_{j,j+1}^c{Z}_{\mathrm{ac}}\right)*l_{j,j+1},\mathrm{and}& \left(9\right)\\ I_{j,j+1}^a=\frac{\begin{array}{c}\left(\sum _{i=j+1}^N\left(P_{\mathrm{dg},j+1}^a-P_{\mathrm{Load},i}^a\right)-\sum _{i=j+1}^{N-1}{P}_{\mathrm{Loss},i}^a\right)+\\ J\left(\sum _{i=j+1}^N{Q}_{\mathrm{Load},i}^a+\sum _{i=j+1}^{N-1}{Q}_{\mathrm{Loss},i}^a\right)\end{array}}{V_0},& \left(10\right)\end{array}$

in the formula, V_upper, V₀, Z_aa, Z_ab and Z_ac are known quantities, I_j,j+1^a, I_j,j+1^b and I_j,j+1^c are the symmetric currents of the three phases and P_dg,j+1^a is the maximum power value of the DG connected to the phase A at the node j+1; and

P_dg,j+1^a can be calculated by substituting the formulae (9) and (10) into the formula (8) respectively, and the value is multiplied by 3 to obtain the maximum generation capacity of the DG connected to the node j+1.

(V) The current value I_j,j+1^a* corresponding to the maximum active power value of the DG is calculated according to the formula (11), and the value of I_j,j+1^a* is compared with the thermal limit value I_max of the line. When I_j,j+1^a*<I_max, the maximum generation capability of the DG in the feeder may be determined according to the result obtained by Step 4. On the contrary, the result is recalculated according to the formula (12).

The calculated maximum active power value is obtained by considering the voltage constraint but not considering the constraint of thermal limit of the line. When the DG is connected to the node j+1, a maximum current of the line, namely, I_j,j+1^a*, may appear in the branch between the node j and the node j+1, and the approximate expression is as follows:

$\begin{array}{cc}{I}_{j,j+1}^{a^{*}}=\frac{\sqrt{{\left(\sum _{i=j+1}^N\left(P_{\mathrm{dg},j+1}^a-P_{\mathrm{Load},i}^a\right)\right)}^2+{\left(\sum _{i=j+1}^N{Q}_{\mathrm{Load},i}^a\right)}^2}}{U_{j+1}}& \left(11\right)\end{array}$

According to the thermal limit I_max of the line, set U_j+1 to V₀, and the maximum active power value of the DG connected at the node may be calculated according to the formula (12):

$\begin{array}{cc}{I}_{\max }=\frac{\sqrt{{\left(\sum _{i=j+1}^N\left(P_{\mathrm{dg},j+1}^{a^{*}}-P_{\mathrm{Load},i}^a\right)\right)}^2+{\left(\sum _{i=j+1}^N{Q}_{\mathrm{Load},i}^a\right)}^2}}{V_0},& \left(12\right)\end{array}$ and

Then, the maximum active power value of the DG connected to the feeder is V*=3×P_dg,j+1a^a*.
