【 摘 要 】

This study presents a multi-objective operation optimisation model for urban power grids with flexible switching (FS) stations to comprehensively improve system security and reliability. In the proposed model, uncertainties associated with load variation and component failures are considered. Moreover, constraints after a feeder or transformer N − 1 contingency are preliminarily formulated. The operation problem optimises the apparent power of feeder section loading. The combination of normal boundary intersection and sequential quadratic programming is employed to solve the non-linear optimisation model. A case study carried out on a test 75-feeder distribution grid with FS stations demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed model and solving method. Compared with conventional distribution loadability, the optimal load distribution solution obtained in this study provides a trade-off between system security and reliability. The coordinated operation optimisation method is suitable for urban smart distribution grids featured by distribution automation and large-scale interconnections.
