To flexibly address the issues of unreasonable integration of distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems and the temporal fluctuations of PV and loads
while improving voltage quality and operational efficiency in distribution networks
a bi-level planning method is proposed under typical source-load temporal scenarios considering demand response. Firstly
the SOM-KFCM clustering algorithm is introduced. This method combines the topological preservation characteristics of self-organizing maps (SOM) and the nonlinear clustering capability of kernel fuzzy -means (KFCM) to enhance clustering accuracy
and typical scenarios are derived using the probability-weighted Pearson correlation coefficient. Then
by incorporating demand response and reactive power optimization
the active and reactive power of the distribution network are jointly regulated
forming a bi-level planning model. The upper model optimizes the PV planning scheme with the goal of minimizing total annual costs and maximizing voltage stability indices
while the lower model aims to minimize daily operational costs for each scenario. To effectively solve this model
an improved whale optimization algorithm with multiple strategies is adopted to enhance global search capability and escape from local optima
and it is combined with second-order cone programming for solving
achieving a globally optimal and locally coordinated planning solution. Finally
simulation analysis through case studies demonstrates that the proposed model and planning scheme enhance both the economic benefits and stability of the distribution network.
