Coordinated Optimal Operation Method for Snow-Shaped Distribution Networks Based on Game Theory

Abstract

The snow-shaped distribution network is developed and upgraded from the traditional single-loop network and double-loop network structure. It is composed of three or four groups of single-loop networks in pairs that form a feeder cluster in the form of a ring network. Based on this topology, the coordinated optimization operation problem is studied. First, the game elements are analyzed, and then a cooperative game-based, coordinated optimization operation model is established by taking the minimum network loss and voltage deviation of the system as the utility function. Then, the alternating direction multiplier method (ADMM) is employed in Cplex solver to solve the established optimization model. Finally, a numerical case is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and method. The results show that, by using the complementary difference relationship of source–charge characteristics between different regions in the snow-shaped distribution networks, the cooperative game model can realize the energy interconnection among different regions to improve the operation level.
