摘要
This paper considered the real-time optimal power flow control of distributed photovoltaic inverters in distribution networks with well-developed measurement and communication technologies. A time-varying, linear optimization method was proposed for higher accuracy and computation speed, where Taylor expansion was used to linearize the objective function and constraints under the premise of small variable changes during the short control period, which makes the optimal problem linear. This time-varying linear approximation is more accurate than the constant linearization. By leveraging the so-called alternating direction method of multipliers, a distributed control method was then conducted to overcome the difficulties arising from the centralized calculation. Applying the distributed control method makes distributed photovoltaic inverter controllers capable of optimizing their own power setpoints with only a little information obtained from neighbor nodes. Case study demonstrates that distribution networks will be more efficient and economical by adopting the real-time control method proposed in this paper. © 2019 Chin. Soc. for Elec. Eng.
