Optimal Operation of Active Distribution Network Involving the Unbalance and Harmonic Compensation of Converter

The massive accessing of unbalance and nonlinear loads to a power distribution network may cause serious problems on power quality and result in additional power loss and safety risks. Distributed generation (DG) with a converter interface has a flexible adjusting ability and can provide certain unbalance and harmonic compensations to power distribution networks. In this paper, an optimal operation method of an active distribution network (ADN) involving the unbalance and harmonic compensation of a converter was proposed. First, the power regulating characteristics of DG were analyzed. Second, an optimization model was constructed to minimize ADN power loss, sum of harmonic voltage squares, and total unbalance of the negative sequence voltage, and multiple constraints, such as converters and network, were considered in the model. Third, the optimization model was transformed into a semidefinite programming model based on the characteristics of the nonconvex and nonlinear original model, thus assuring global convergence and decreasing difficulties in problem solving. Finally, the validity of the proposed algorithm was verified by using IEEE 33-node and 123-node test systems.
