Partition decoupling model and method in power distribution network, part I: Optimised network partition model and process

Abstract

Abstract In order to deal with the problems of complex optimisation model and computing speed in the multi‐objective operation control of the power distribution network, this paper is oriented to the basic model and process of the feeder partition decoupling method for the distribution network. Firstly, the necessity of developing partition decoupling for the distribution network is expounded according to the development status and control mode of the complex distribution network. Secondly, the objective models commonly used in the distribution network optimisation control are given to illustrate the importance of partition decoupling for the complex distribution network, including line loss and voltage offset. Finally, three general decoupling equivalent models are presented, namely Ward equivalent model, virtual generator equivalent model, and radial equivalent independent model, and then the partition decoupling equivalent process is proposed.
