Research on Optimal Planning of Access Location and Access Capacity of Large-Scale Integrated Wind Power Plants

This paper proposes a multi-objective optimal planning model of access location and access capacity for large-scale integrated wind power generation considering the mutual restriction between the planning of large-scale wind power plants and the planning of power system network. In this model, the power flow equilibrium degree, investment costs and active network loss are taken as the optimization goals. The improved differential evolution (IDE) algorithm is applied to calculate the Pareto optimal solution set of wind power's access planning. With the solution results described by the Pareto pattern, all the alternative solutions are then ranked based on the entropy weight method and the final compromised solution is selected by the method of technique for order preference by similarity to ideal (TOPSIS). And the proposed optimal planning model is tested based on a practical planning need of large-scale integrated wind power generation in an actual power grid of China in 2020. The simulation results show that applied with the proposed optimization model and matching algorithm, the planning scheme of large-scale wind power's access location and access capacity under complex and practical power system circumstances has been successfully optimized.
