Optimal Regulation Strategy of Distribution Network with Photovoltaic-Powered Charging Stations Under Multiple Uncertainties: A Bi-Level Stochastic Optimization Approach

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In order to consider the impact of multiple uncertainties on the interaction between the distribution network operator (DNO) and photovoltaic powered charging stations (PVCSs), this paper proposes a regulation strategy for a distribution network with a PVCS based on bi-level stochastic optimization. First, the interaction framework between the DNO and PVCS is established to address the energy management and trading problems of different subjects in the system. Second, considering the uncertainties in the electricity price and PV output, a bi-level stochastic model is constructed with the DNO and PVCS targeting their respective interests. Furthermore, the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) is introduced to measure the relationship between the DNO’s operational strategy and the uncertain risks. Next, the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions and duality theorem are utilized to tackle the challenging bi-level problem, resulting in a mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISCOP) model. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed regulation strategy is validated on the modified IEEE 33-bus system.
