Two-stage Reactive Power Optimization Strategy for Active Distribution Network Based on Extreme Scenarios
Abstract
Uncertainties from distributed generations (DGs) make conventional reactive power optimization (RPO) methods difficult to be applied in the distribution network (DN). To settle this issue, a novel two-stage RPO strategy for active distribution network (ADN) based on extreme scenarios is proposed in this paper. Random variables are handled through extreme scenarios, then flexible and inflexible variables are decided in two different stages to adapt to DG’s randomness. Firstly, based on second order cone relaxation (SOCR), power flow equations are convexly relaxed to transform original model into mixed integer second order cone programming (MISOCP). Then, extreme scenario method (ESM) is employed to determine DG’s deployment. Finally, numerical tests are performed on a modified IEEE 33-bus DN to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed strategy.
