Section Margin Allocation Method for Renewable Energy Power Generation Clusters Considering the Randomness of Source and Load Power

Abstract

It is difficult to adapt the traditional section margin distribution method to the power system with a high proportion of renewable energy generation (REG). This paper proposes a section margin allocation method of REG clusters considering the randomness of source and load power. Firstly, the probability density function of the predicted REG power error is estimated, the probability that REG stations meet the output command after the section margin distribution is calculated, and the output realization probability of each REG station is discussed. The typical operation mode set of the REG cluster is then obtained by clustering the REG stations according to the operation history, and the load rise space of the REG cluster under each typical operation mode is calculated. Considering the randomness of REG power and its load power, the section margin is allocated to each REG station in the REG cluster so as to ensure that each REG station reaches the highest output probability. On the premise of ensuring the safe and stable operation of the grid, this method facilitates the management of REG clusters and the accommodation capacity of the power system for REG. Simulations of the power system of IEEE 39 nodes verify the rationality and validity of the section margin allocation method.
