Multitime Scale Reactive Power and Voltage Optimal Regulation for Transmission Network With Wind Power Cluster Based on Model Predictive Control

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of voltage fluctuation caused by the grid integration of wind power cluster, a multitime scale reactive power and voltage optimal regulation method based on model predictive control (MPC) is proposed in this paper. In the day-ahead stage, the reduction of network active power loss is mainly achieved through the regulation of discrete reactive power compensation devices and generator units, focusing on the economic operation of the power system. In the intraday stage, considering the rapid response characteristics of continuous reactive power compensation devices, the optimal regulation aiming to minimize voltage control deviation is carried out under 15- and 5-min time scale based on the MPC algorithm with the adjustment of continuous reactive power compensation devices. In the feedback correction stage, a fast calculation method considering reactive power partitioning is adopted instead of solving the 5-min optimization model for 288 periods, avoiding excessive adjustment of reactive compensation devices. While effectively improving voltage fluctuations caused by wind power prediction deviation, it also alleviated the computational and communication burden on the system. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed regulation method in this paper is verified with the improved IEEE-39 test case.
