The present disclosure relates to a method for making an optimal scheduling strategy of a mobile energy storage (MES) system, and in particular, to a method for making a spatio-temporal combined optimal scheduling strategy of an MES system oriented to a high-reliability power distribution network.
In recent years, with the change of an energy structure and the rapid development of new energy technologies, the energy storage technology resolves a problem that energy production and consumption are out of synchronization in terms of time, and plays an important strategic role in a power system. As an upgrade and a supplement of a traditional fixed energy storage system, an MES system can be regulated and moved more flexibly, and has been preliminarily applied to alleviate and eliminate seasonal peak load, restore an emergency power supply, expand a heavily-loaded area served by one transformer, control a voltage, and the like. With the gradual development of new infrastructure, technologies such as 5G communication, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and Beidou navigation have been put into practical application to perform real-time positioning and regulation on the MES system. Giving full play to spatio-temporal flexibility of the MES, realizing friendly interaction and optimal regulation of the MES system under a traffic network and a power distribution network, and improving power supply reliability of the power distribution network are important application scenarios to be urgently developed for the MES system.
After a power cut caused by a fault, an overhauling-specific power cut, and other events occur in the power distribution network, an MES vehicle can be connected orderly in a plug and play manner according to an optimal regulation strategy to meet emergency power needs of users, so as to build a more reliable strong and intelligent power distribution network. Compared with the traditional fixed energy storage system that can only provide an emergency power supply for key load, the MES system is green, clean, and environment-friendly, and can realize a wide assurance range and flexible allocation and cover a whole area of the power distribution network. Emission and noise of a diesel generator are difficult to meet a low-carbon environmental protection standard in an urban core area, and application of the diesel generator in an urban power distribution network is limited. With a flexible mode, the MES system not only can guarantee power supply, but also can participate in peak and valley arbitrage, peak-load shifting, and other services of a power grid, thereby realizing high resource utilization and avoiding idle resources. In addition, with the development of new materials and new technologies, energy storage costs are further reduced, and the MES system has more prominent advantages.
Optimal regulation of the MES system mainly considers two aspects: path planning and battery power decision making. Path planning is to optimally select a traveling path and an access destination of the MES vehicle. Battery power decision making is to make an optimal decision for charging and discharging time and power of an MES battery. However, existing research on an optimal scheduling strategy of an energy storage system is mostly intended to improve toughness, and there is still a lack of relevant research specifically for improvement of reliability. Spatio-temporal optimal regulation, of the MES system, for improving the reliability is essentially large-scale mixed integer nonlinear programming. A traffic condition, a fault position, a vehicle position, and a battery capacity constitute a complex spatio-temporal coupling relationship of “MES system-traffic road-power distribution network”. In this way, variable constraints of the whole large-scale mixed integer nonlinear programming have high spatio-temporal coupling complexity, and the model is complex and difficult to solve.
In addition, operation and scheduling of the MES system are characterized by a wide spatio-temporal distribution, many coupling constraints, and strong unpredictability. For example, prediction accuracy of fault information such as expected fault duration is low, traffic information such as road congestion and traffic accidents is accidental, and the MES vehicle may not reach a predetermined position as planned. The above uncertain factors of the power grid, the traffic, and the MES system will bring a great deviation to operation and regulation. An optimal regulation effect cannot be guaranteed only according to a regulation plan made at the beginning of the fault. Therefore, an efficient and accurate method for making a spatio-temporal combined optimal scheduling strategy of an MES system is of great significance to system planning, operation, and scheduling, and is a difficult problem to be resolved by researchers and technicians in this field.
To overcome the defects in the prior art and improve reliability of a power distribution network, the present disclosure provides a method for making a spatio-temporal combined optimal scheduling strategy of an MES system.

The MES system has unique spatio-temporal flexibility. Important support for emergency power supply and reliability improvement of the power distribution network can be provided by properly regulating the traveling path and charging and discharging power of the MES system. To meet a demand for green and efficient reliability improvement of the power distribution network, the present disclosure proposes a spatio-temporal combined optimal model of the MES system to describe spatio-temporal coupling statuses of the energy storage vehicle, the traffic network, and the power distribution network. On this basis, uncertain factors such as traffic congestion are analyzed, and a rolling optimization framework of the MES system is constructed to correct a regulation strategy in real time.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, some trunk roads in an urban area of a city are selected as the traffic network including 29 nodes and 49 roads, and a standard power distribution network composed of IEEE33 nodes is used as a test power distribution system. The power distribution network includes 33 nodes, one generator, and 37 branches. A topological relationship between the traffic network and the power distribution network is shown in
In scenario 1, power cuts of lines (30, 31) and (17, 18) are scheduled 3 h in advance, and estimated fault repair time is 5 h.
In scenario 2, lines (30, 31) and (17, 18) are in a power-cut state, and estimated fault repair time is 5 h.
In scenario 3, at a first time point in scenario 2, driving on a road (4, 7) is prohibited, and a congestion coefficient of a road (7, 8) is 30%.
In scenario 4, a fault is the same as the fault in scenario 2, and the time interval is 15 min.
Impact of a line fault type is analyzed as follows:
In scenario 1, destinations of the MES vehicles are nodes 18, 31, and 32 respectively. A shortest moving path is 1→19→32→18 for MES 1, 1→19→20→31 for MES 2, and 1→19→32→19→1→19→32 for MES 3. The three MES vehicles are charged in advance and connected to the power grid in a full-capacity manner when the fault occurs. MES 3 returns to the central station at a fifth time point to use a new full-capacity battery. According to the above regulation strategy, the system has no load reduction. It can be learned from
In scenario 2, a moving path is 1→19→20→31 for MES 1, 1→19→20→31→19→20→1→19→32 for MES 2, and 1→19→32→18→33→18→32→19→1→19→32→18 for MES 3, and load of the system is reduced by 0.255 MWh. After the fault occurs, nodes 18, 31, 32, and 33 form an isolated network, and a load of 0.51 MW cannot be supplied. Because maximum power supply power of a single MES vehicle is 0.3 MW, at least two MES vehicles need to be connected to the power grid at the same time to meet the electrical load. As a result, MES 2 and MES 3 go to the destination immediately, with a primary goal of minimizing a load reduction, and then return to the central station after 1.5 h and 2.5 h respectively to replace their own batteries. Referring to the regulation strategy in scenario 1, when the battery capacity is sufficient, an optimal access point of the MES vehicle is still a main load point due to a line transmission loss. Table 3 shows related line power in scenario 2.
It can be learned by comparing
Impact of a traffic network fault is analyzed as follows:
In scenario 3, due to congestion in the traffic network, a moving path is 31→22→33→18 for MES 1, 31→20→19→1→19→20→31 for MES 2, and 33→22→31→20→19→1→19→20→31→32 for MES 3. To ensure that there is no load reduction in the system, both MES 1 and MES 2 are connected to node 31, because a path from the central station to node 31 is least time-consuming. Then, to reduce a transmission loss, the MES vehicles are connected to nodes 18, 31, and 32 respectively.
Impact of scheduling time is analyzed as follows:
In scenario 4, a moving path is 1→19→32→19→1→19→32 for MES 1, 1→19→20→31 for MES 2, and 1→19→32→19→1→19→32→18 for MES 3. The regulation time is reduced to more accurately predict operation time of the path, and a path from the central station to node 32 is the shortest, so that the MES vehicles are first connected to node 32, thereby ensuring a minimum load reduction of the system. Correspondingly, to reduce a network loss, the MES vehicles are finally connected to nodes 18, 31, and 32 respectively, which is consistent with the strategies in scenarios 1 to 3. To sum up, proper optimal regulation time needs to be set with reference to an actual site situation, while accuracy of the regulation instruction is improved.
It should be emphasized that the embodiment in the present disclosure is illustrative rather than restrictive. Therefore, the present disclosure includes but is not limited to the embodiment in the detailed description. All other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art according to the technical solutions of the present disclosure also fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
Values 1, 2, and 3 of the node type represent a PQ node, a PV node, and a slack bus respectively.
