Reactive Voltage Partitioning Method for the Power Grid With Comprehensive Consideration of Wind Power Fluctuation and Uncertainty

When large-scale wind power is connected to the power grid, the fluctuation and uncertainty in the wind power reduce the stability and accuracy of the grid’s reactive voltage division results based on the electrical distance matrix and affect the grid’s reactive power regulation. This paper proposes a grid reactive voltage partitioning method that considers the wind power stability and accuracy in a comprehensive manner. The wind power uncertainty and zoning results are characterized by the distribution of wind power forecast error intervals and changes in the zoning result nodes at different moments when the wind power is connected. Regarding volatility, according to the discretization of the probability distribution of the active power output at a certain time based on the wind power prediction, a calculation interval of the wind power output under a single cross-section is formed, and multiple sequential power flow sections within a long time scale are clustered and partitioned by an agglomeration hierarchical clustering method. Finally, an optimal zoning model of reactive voltage is established over a long time scale with the minimum comprehensive stability serving as the objective function. A simulation analysis of the improved IEEE39 node system shows that the partition combination can effectively increase the stability and accuracy of the reactive partitioning.
