The selection of the optimal 35 kV network structure is crucial for modern distribution networks. To address the problem of balancing investment costs and reliability benefits, as well as to establish the target network structure, firstly, the investment cost of the distribution network is calculated based on the determined number of network structure units. Secondly, reliability benefits are measured by combining the comprehensive function of user outage losses with the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI). Then, a multi-objective planning model of the network structure is established, and the weighted coefficient transformation method is used to convert reliability benefits and investment costs into the total cost of power supply per unit load. Finally, by using the influencing factors of the network structure as the initial population and setting the minimum total cost of the unit load as the fitness function, the DE algorithm is employed to obtain the optimal grid structure under continuous load density intervals. Case studies demonstrate that different load densities correspond to different optimal network structures. For load densities ranging from 0 to 30, the selected optimal network structures from low to high are as follows: overhead single radial, overhead three-section with two ties, cable single ring network, and cable dual ring network.

In the era of dual carbon, the rapid development of various types of microgrid parks featuring multi-heterogeneous energy coupling presents new challenges in accurately modeling spatial and temporal load characteristics due to increasingly complex source–load characteristics and diversified interaction patterns. This study proposes a short-term load forecasting method for an interconnected park-level integrated energy system using a data center as the case study. By leveraging spatially transferable load characteristics and the heterogeneous energy correlation among electricity–cooling–heat loads, an optimal feature set is selected to effectively characterize the spatial and temporal coupling of multi-heterogeneous loads using Spearman correlation analysis. This optimal feature set is fed into the multi-task learning (MTL) combined with the convolutional neural network (CNN) and long- and short-term memory (LSTM) network model to generate prediction results. The simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed approach in characterizing the spatial and temporal energy coupling across different parks, enhancing track load “spikes” and achieving superior prediction accuracy.

There are important challenges in modeling large electrical distribution circuits, especially with the presence of distributed renewable generation. Constructing simulations to assess the effect of the penetration of distributed generation on electrical distribution networks has become of great importance for Distribution Network Operators (DNOs). This paper proposes a simulation strategy based on open-source platforms and the integration of scripting tools for the rapid modeling of large-scale electrical distribution circuits with distributed renewable generation. The implementation is based on the adaptation of a tool called QGIS2OpenDSS, which creates OpenDSS distribution network models directly from an open-source geographic information system, QGIS. The plugin’s capabilities are demonstrated using a real distribution feeder with more than 60% penetration of renewable generation based on photovoltaic systems. These simulations are carried out using real data from a circuit provided by a DNO in the Dominican Republic, which is used to demonstrate how this approach provides a more accessible and flexible way to simulate and assess the effect of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) networks, enabling utilities to evaluate system performance and identify potential issues. The integration of this open-source tool within the DNO software stack enables users to apply it according to specific project needs, enhancing their capability to analyze and manage high DER penetration levels, aiding in better planning, operation, and decision-making processes related to renewable energy projects.

Fault problems associated with submarine cables caused by variations in their burial depth are becoming increasingly prominent. To address the difficulty of detecting the burial depth of submarine cables and trends in its variation, a prediction model for submarine cable burial depth was proposed which considers the dynamic characteristics of thermal resistance. First, a parallel thermal circuit model of a three-core submarine cable was established, and a formula for calculating the submarine cable’s burial depth was derived based on a formula for calculating the submarine cable’s core temperature. Then, the calculation result was corrected by considering the dynamic characteristics of the thermal resistance of the submarine cable’s structural materials. On this basis, feature vectors associated with the seabed cable burial depth calculation data and time nodes were mined by a convolutional neural network and used as the input parameters of a long short-term memory network for optimization and training, and a prediction model for trends in seabed cable burial depth variation was obtained. Finally, an example analysis was carried out based on the actual electrical parameter data of submarine cables buried by an offshore oil and gas platform. The results showed that the prediction model for trends in variations in the burial depth of submarine cables based on the CNN-LSTM neural network can achieve high prediction accuracy and prediction efficiency.

As renewable energy becomes more widespread, the uncertainty of its output poses serious challenges for peak and frequency regulation of the power system. Evaluating a grid’s capacity to integrate renewable energy sources can provide an early-warning and decision-making basis for grid operation and scheduling. This paper presents a method for evaluating the hosting capacity of renewable energy, considering frequency security constraints. Introducing the system frequency nadir constraint into a system ensures that the frequency does not drop to a dangerous level in the event of power disturbances. The analytical characterization relation equation for the system frequency nadir constraint is constructed based on polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) theory. Furthermore, with the goal of minimizing the reduction in renewable energy, considering multiple flexible resources, like demand response (DR), Combined Heat and Power (CHP), energy storage, and Power-to-Gas (P2G), a renewable energy hosting capacity evaluation model that considers frequency security and flexibility resources is established. Finally, based on the concept of the feasible region, the maximum hosting capacity of a system’s renewable energy is visualized using the progressive vertex enumeration method. It identifies the safe operating region for renewable energy output that meets the safety constraints of power grid operations. The simulation results were validated using a modified IEEE 39 bus system. Full article
