Multiobjective Optimal Dispatch of Mobile Energy Storage Vehicles in Active Distribution Networks

摘要

In active distribution networks (ADNs), mobile energy storage vehicles (MESVs) can not only reduce power losses, shave peak loads, and accommodate renewable energy but also connect to any mobile energy storage station bus for operation, making them more flexible than energy storage stations. In this article, a multiobjective optimal MESV dispatch model is established to minimize the power loss, renewable energy source curtailment, and total operating cost of ADNs. Additionally, a method to directly obtain the compromise optimal solution (COS) of the Pareto optimal solutions (POSs) of a three-objective optimization problem is proposed. Based on the normalized normal constraint (NNC) method for solving the POSs of a three-objective optimization problem, a bilevel optimization model is established to directly obtain the COS. The innerlayer model uses the NNC method to calculate the POS corresponding to a point on the Utopia plane, and the outerlayer model uses the improved Nelder-Mead (INM) method to directly search the POS with the minimum distance to the Utopia point as the COS. Compared with the traditional method, which first solves the POSs of the three-objective optimization problem and then selects the COS, the proposed INM method has higher computational efficiency and obtains a better COS. Finally, case studies on the modified IEEE-33 bus distribution network and an actual 180 bus distribution network demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
