Improved Inner Approximation for Aggregating Power Flexibility in Active Distribution Networks and its Applications (2303.01691v2)

Published 3 Mar 2023 in eess.SY and cs.SY

Abstract: Concise and reliable modeling for aggregating power flexibility of distributed energy resources in active distribution networks (ADNs) is a crucial technique for coordinating transmission and distribution networks. Our recent research has successfully derived an explicit expression for the exact aggregation model (EAM) of power flexibility at the substation level under linearized distribution network constraints. The EAM, however, is impractical for decision-making purposes due to its exponential complexity. In this paper, we propose an inner approximation method for aggregating flexibility in ADNs that utilizes the properties of the EAM to improve performance. Specifically, the geometric prototype of the inner approximation model is defined according to a subset of the coefficient vector set of the EAM, which enhances the accuracy. On the other hand, the computation efficiency of the inner approximation is also significantly improved by exploiting the regularity of coefficient vectors in the EAM in the parameter calculation process. The inner approximated flexibility model of ADNs is further incorporated into the security-constrained unit commitment problem as an application. Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
