文摘The high proportion of uncertain distributed power sources and the access to large-scale random electric vehicle(EV)charging resources further aggravate the voltage fluctuation of the distribution network,and the existing research has not deeply explored the EV active-reactive synergistic regulating characteristics,and failed to realize themulti-timescale synergistic control with other regulatingmeans,For this reason,this paper proposes amultilevel linkage coordinated optimization strategy to reduce the voltage deviation of the distribution network.Firstly,a capacitor bank reactive power compensation voltage control model and a distributed photovoltaic(PV)activereactive power regulationmodel are established.Additionally,an external characteristicmodel of EVactive-reactive power regulation is developed considering the four-quadrant operational characteristics of the EVcharger.Amultiobjective optimization model of the distribution network is then constructed considering the time-series coupling constraints of multiple types of voltage regulators.A multi-timescale control strategy is proposed by considering the impact of voltage regulators on active-reactive EV energy consumption and PV energy consumption.Then,a four-stage voltage control optimization strategy is proposed for various types of voltage regulators with multiple time scales.Themulti-objective optimization is solved with the improvedDrosophila algorithmto realize the power fluctuation control of the distribution network and themulti-stage voltage control optimization.Simulation results validate that the proposed voltage control optimization strategy achieves the coordinated control of decentralized voltage control resources in the distribution network.It effectively reduces the voltage deviation of the distribution network while ensuring the energy demand of EV users and enhancing the stability and economic efficiency of the distribution network.

文摘With the continuous growth of power demand and the diversification of power consumption structure,the loss of distribution network has gradually become the focus of attention.Given the problems of single loss reduction measure,lack of economy,and practicality in existing research,this paper proposes an optimization method of distribution network loss reduction based on tabu search algorithm and optimizes the combination and parameter configuration of loss reduction measure.The optimization model is developed with the goal of maximizing comprehensive benefits,incorporating both economic and environmental factors,and accounting for investment costs,including the loss of power reduction.Additionally,the model ensures that constraint conditions such as power flow equations,voltage deviations,and line transmission capacities are satisfied.The solution is obtained through a tabu search algorithm,which is well-suited for solving nonlinear problems with multiple constraints.Combined with the example of 10kV25 node construction,the simulation results show that the method can significantly reduce the network loss on the basis of ensuring the economy and environmental protection of the system,which provides a theoretical basis for distribution network planning.

文摘This paper proposes a cost-optimal energy management strategy for reconfigurable distribution networks with high penetration of renewable generation.The proposed strategy accounts for renewable generation costs,maintenance and operating expenses of energy storage systems,diesel generator operational costs,typical daily load profiles,and power balance constraints.A penalty term for power backflow is incorporated into the objective function to discourage undesirable reverse flows.The Bald Eagle Search(BES)meta-heuristic is adopted to solve the resulting constrained optimization problem.Numerical simulations under multiple load scenarios demonstrate that the proposed method effectively reduces operating cost while preventing power backflow and maintaining secure operation of the distribution network.
文摘This study introduces the Smart Exponential-Threshold-Linear with Double Deep Q-learning Network(SETL-DDQN)and an extended Gumbel distribution method,designed to optimize the Contention Window(CW)in IEEE 802.11 networks.Unlike conventional Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)-based approaches for CW size adjustment,which often suffer from overestimation bias and limited exploration diversity,leading to suboptimal throughput and collision performance.Our framework integrates the Gumbel distribution and extreme value theory to systematically enhance action selection under varying network conditions.First,SETL adopts a DDQN architecture(SETL-DDQN)to improve Q-value estimation accuracy and enhance training stability.Second,we incorporate a Gumbel distribution-driven exploration mechanism,forming SETL-DDQN(Gumbel),which employs the extreme value theory to promote diverse action selection,replacing the conventional-greedy exploration that undergoes early convergence to suboptimal solutions.Both models are evaluated through extensive simulations in static and time-varying IEEE 802.11 network scenarios.The results demonstrate that our approach consistently achieves higher throughput,lower collision rates,and improved adaptability,even under abrupt fluctuations in traffic load and network conditions.In particular,the Gumbel-based mechanism enhances the balance between exploration and exploitation,facilitating faster adaptation to varying congestion levels.These findings position Gumbel-enhanced DRL as an effective and robust solution for CW optimization in wireless networks,offering notable gains in efficiency and reliability over existing methods.

文摘A chance-constrained energy dispatch model based on the distributed stochastic model predictive control(DSMPC)approach for an islanded multi-microgrid system is proposed.An ambiguity set considering the inherent uncertainties of renewable energy sources(RESs)is constructed without requiring the full distribution knowledge of the uncertainties.The power balance chance constraint is reformulated within the framework of the distributionally robust optimization(DRO)approach.With the exchange of information and energy flow,each microgrid can achieve its local supply-demand balance.Furthermore,the closed-loop stability and recursive feasibility of the proposed algorithm are proved.The comparative results with other DSMPC methods show that a trade-off between robustness and economy can be achieved.
文摘With the increasing complexity and scale of hyperscale data centers,the requirement for intelligent,real-time power delivery has never been more critical to ensure uptime,energy efficiency,and sustainability.Those techniques are typically static,reactive(since CPU and workload scaling is applied to performance events that occur after a request has been submitted,and is thus can be classified as a reactive response.),and require manual operation,and cannot cope with the dynamic nature of the workloads,the distributed architectures as well as the non-uniform energy sources in today’s data centers.In this paper,we elaborate on how artificial intelligence(AI)is revolutionizing power distribution in hyperscale data centers,making predictive load forecasting,real-time fault detection,and autonomous power optimization possible.We explain how ML(machine learning)and RL(reinforcement learning)-based models have been introduced in PDN(power delivery networks)for load balancing in three-phase systems,overprovisioning reduction,and energy flow optimization from the grid to the rack.The paper considers the architectural pieces of the AI-led systems,such as data ingestion pipelines,anomaly detection frameworks,and control algorithms to manage the power switching,cooling synchronization,and grid/microgrid interaction.Practical use cases show the value of these systems on PUE,infrastructure reliability,and environmental footprint.Key implementation challenges,including data quality,legacy systemintegration,and AI decision-making governance,are also discussed.Last,the paper speculates on the future of autonomous DC power infrastructure where AI becomes not only an assistive resource to the operator but really takes control over infrastructure behavior end-to-end,from procuring energy,to phase balancing,to predicting maintenance.Integrating technology innovation with operational sustainability,AI-powered power distribution is emerging as a core competence for the Smart Digital Power Facility of the Future.

文摘In the era of massive data,the study of distributed data is a significant topic.Model averaging can be effectively applied to distributed data by combining information from all machines.For linear models,the model averaging approach has been developed in the context of distributed data.However,further investigation is needed for more complex models.In this paper,the authors propose a distributed optimal model averaging approach based on multivariate additive models,which approximates unknown functions using B-splines allowing each machine to have a different smoothing degree.To utilize the information from the covariance matrix of dependent errors in multivariate multiple regressions,the authors use the Mahalanobis distance to construct a Mallows-type weight choice criterion.The criterion can be computed by transmitting information between the local machines and the center machine in two steps.The authors demonstrate the asymptotic optimality of the proposed model averaging estimator when the covariates are subject to uncertainty,and obtain the convergence rate of the weight vector to the theoretically optimal weights.The results remain novel even for additive models with a single response variable.The numerical examples show that the proposed method yields good performance.

文摘The dense integration of residential distributed photovoltaic(PV)systems into three-phase,four-wire low-voltage(LV)distribution networks results in reverse power flow and three-phase imbalance,leading to voltage violations that hinder the growth of rural distributed PV systems.Traditional voltage droop-based control methods regulate PV power output solely based on local voltage measurements at the point of PV connection.Due to a lack of global coordination and optimization,their efficiency is often subpar.This paper presents a centralized coordinated active/reactive power control strategy for PV inverters in rural LV distribution feeders with high PV penetration.The strategy optimizes residential PV inverter reactive and active power control to enhance voltage quality.It uses sensitivity coefficients derived from the inverse Jacobian matrix to assign adjustment weights to individual PV units and iteratively optimize their power outputs.The control sequence prioritizes reactive power increases;if the coefficients are below average or the inverters reach capacity,active power is curtailed until voltage issues are resolved.A simulation based on a real 37-node rural distribution network shows that the proposed method significantly reduces PV curtailment.Typical daily results indicate a curtailment rate of 1.47%,which is significantly lower than the 15.4%observed with the voltage droop-based control method.The total daily PV power output(measured every 15 min)increases from 5.55 to 6.41 MW,improving PV hosting capacity.
文摘The multi-objective optimization problems,especially in constrained environments such as power distribution planning,demand robust strategies for discovering effective solutions.This work presents the improved variant of the Multi-population Cooperative Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization(MCCMO)Algorithm,termed Adaptive Diversity Preservation(ADP).This enhancement is primarily focused on the improvement of constraint handling strategies,local search integration,hybrid selection approaches,and adaptive parameter control.Theimproved variant was experimented on with the RWMOP50 power distribution systemplanning benchmark.As per the findings,the improved variant outperformed the original MCCMO across the eleven performance metrics,particularly in terms of convergence speed,constraint handling efficiency,and solution diversity.The results also establish that MCCMOADP consistently delivers substantial performance gains over the baseline MCCMO,demonstrating its effectiveness across performancemetrics.The new variant also excels atmaintaining the balanced trade-off between exploration and exploitation throughout the search process,making it especially suitable for complex optimization problems in multiconstrained power systems.These enhancements make MCCMO-ADP a valuable and promising candidate for handling problems such as renewable energy scheduling,logistics planning,and power system optimization.Future work will benchmark the MCCMO-ADP against widely recognized algorithms such as NSGA-Ⅱ,NSGA-Ⅲ,and MOEA/D and will also extend its validation to large-scale real-world optimization domains to further consolidate its generalizability.
