In order to achieve the effective consumption of clean energy and stable operation of the power grid
there are more and more controllable resources in active distribution networks
which also increases the complexity of energy optimization problems in active distribution networks at the same time. For this reason
an active distribution network energy optimization model coordinating distribution network reconfiguration
reactive power compensation equipment
on-load voltage regulator transformers and controllable loads is developed with the objective functions of minimizing economic and environmental costs
minimizing regulation costs and minimizing node voltage deviation. Tests are conducted using the improved IEEE33 system
and the results show that the active distribution network energy optimization method based on the horned lizard optimization algorithm proposed in this study exhibits excellent performance
with an average reduction of 51.62% and 22.16% in terms of voltage deviation and network loss compared to single means control. In the intelligent upgrading and active control transformation of power grids
this method can provide technical support for the consumption of new energy and the stable operation of the power grid.
