Bi-level Programming of AC / DC Hybrid Distribution System

Abstract

With the wide application of distributed generation and advanced power electronic technology, AC / DC hybrid distribution network provides a new idea for the development of distribution network. Therefore, the AC-DC hybrid distribution network planning is of great significance. This paper presents a bi-level programming model of AC / DC distribution network considering the randomness of DC type of bus and connecting line. The model uses Monte Carlo method to simulate the uncertain output curve of load demand and photovoltaic distributed generation, and divides the planning scheme into upper planning model and lower optimization model: the upper planning model uses genetic membrane algorithm, with the lowest grid construction cost and operation cost as the objective function; the lower optimization model uses interior point method, with the lowest operation cost as the objective function. The upper and lower layer models are solved alternately to obtain the optimal network configuration.
