Multiobjective Scheduling Of An Active Distribution Network Based On Coordinated Optimization Of Source Network Load

With the development of active distribution networks, the means of controlling such networks are becoming more abundant, and simultaneously, due to the intermittency of renewable energy and the randomness of the demand-side load, the operating uncertainty is becoming serious. To solve the problem of source-network-load coordination scheduling, a multiobjective scheduling model for an active distribution network (ADN) is proposed in this paper. The operating cost, renewable energy utilization rate, and user satisfaction are considered as the optimization objectives, and the distributed generation (DG) output power, switch number, and incentive price for the responsive load are set as the decision variables. Then the probabilistic power flow based on Monte Carlo sampling and the chance-constrained programming are used to deal with the uncertainty of the ADN. Moreover, the reference point-based many-objective evolutionary algorithm (NSGA3) is used to solve this nonlinear, multiperiod, and multiobjective optimization problem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in the modified IEEE 33-bus distribution system. The results show that the proposed scheduling method can effectively improve the system status.
