Abstract

Active distribution system management (ADSM) aims at optimally operating distribution network assets with a high penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) while taking into account operational uncertainties, market constraints, and scheduled power flows at the interface with the transmission system. A novel framework for ADSM, which incorporates a dual-horizon rolling scheduling model based on dynamic ac optimal power flow, is proposed in this paper. In the first stage (planning), energy import/export is committed for given times ahead at the grid supply point considering local variable generation and load forecasts. At the second stage (operation) deviations from the schedules are minimised by controlling various assets and DER, including electrical energy storage (EES). We demonstrate how crucial it is to properly consider uncertainties (for instance, associated with forecasts) over different time scales. Case study results on a real U.K. distribution network show that the proposed ADSM approach can provide credible operational strategies to maximise renewable penetration, minimize deviations from time-ahead schedules, and estimate the required level of local reserves from dispatchable generation and EES while realistically accounting for uncertainty. The framework and model formulation proposed can thus be seen as a key tool to facilitate the transition from distribution network operators to distribution system operators and their interaction with transmission sys…

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The exact AC power flow formulation would make the problem nonconvex and NP-hard, and mixed-integer applications proved untractable with present MINLP solvers.

    “The use of the exact ('AC') power flow formulation would make the problem nonconvex and NPhard [22], and mixed-integer applications proved untractable with present MINLP solvers [35].”
  • Bound tightening is an effective method to bridge the gap between solutions from approximated power flow models and exact models.

    “Bound tightening has recently been proved an effective method to bridge the gap between solutions from approximated power flow models and exact models [35], [44].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
