Multi-Objective Site Selection and Capacity Determination of Distribution Network Considering New Energy Uncertainties and Shared Energy Storage of Electric Vehicles
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. ADN Scheduling Model Considering Multi-Objective Optimization
- (1)
- Node voltage fluctuation: According to Reference [10], voltage stability is an important indicator of power system stability. The access of DG will influence the node voltage of system by affecting the balance of reactive power. In this paper, the sum of node voltage fluctuations is selected as the objective , which is expressed in Equation (1):
- (2)
- Network loss: After large-scale DG is connected, the reactive power of the power system may be insufficient. If the access location of the DG is far away from the main line of the ADN, the electrical distance will increase, which in turn leads to an increase in the network loss of system. The objective function represents the sum of the network losses of the ADN system, which can be expressed as Equation (2)
- (3)
- Energy storage system capacity: In the early construction stage of ADN, to avoid the large investment and the low utilization rate of energy storage capacity, the capacity allocation of the energy storage device should be considered in advance based on its economic benefits. Therefore, the total capacity of the energy storage device is selected as the objective function. Based on this, the cost, contribution to network loss, and voltage stability can be balanced by a multi-objective algorithm. is the objective function of the optimal capacity of the energy storage system, which is presented in Equation (3)

5. Case Analysis
- scenario 1: DG is not connected.
- scenario 2: Access to DG without energy storage.
- scenario 3: Connect to DG and add EVS energy storage.
- scenario 4: Connect to DG and add normal energy storage.
6. Conclusions
- (1)
- The EV cluster energy storage device can better stabilize the voltage fluctuation of the ADN system caused by the uncertainty of DG outputs. Compared with traditional energy storage devices, EV cluster energy storage reduces the upfront construction cost and improves energy utilization. After considering the site selection and capacity setting model of EVs, the average voltage of node 13 is reduced by 29.5% compared to the scenario without EVs, and the average voltage of node 33 is reduced by 21.5% compared to the scenario without EVs.
- (2)
- The probability density curve of DG output obtained based on the Frank copula function can better reflect the actual situation of DG output and reduce the prediction bias compared with the traditional prediction algorithm. The EV data predicted based on CNN-BiLSTM can also reflect the actual situation of EV more realistically, reducing the uncertainty of EV output. The CNN-BiLSTM algorithm used in this paper can further reduce the data error of EV, which is 10.2% higher than the ordinary CNN method and 8.3% higher than that of the Bi-LSTM algorithm.
- (3)
- The multi-objective distribution network siting and capacity setting model can optimize the ADN model with DG via the aspects of node voltage fluctuation and ADN network loss, which further improves the feasibility compared with the single-target model.
