A hybrid optimization algorithm for distribution network coordinated operation with SNOP based on simulated annealing and conic programming

Soft normally open point (SNOP) is a novel power electronic device installed in place of normally-open point. The application of SNOP will greatly promote the flexibility and controllability of distribution network. Considering the high investment of SNOP, both tie switch and SNOP should be taken into account in the coordinated operation problem of distribution network. Firstly, the optimization model for distribution network coordinated operation with SNOP and tie switch is proposed. Then, combining the simulated annealing method with conic programming, this paper proposes a hybrid optimization algorithm, involving simulated annealing method to obtain the switch states and conic programming to optimize the transmitted power of SNOP. This hybrid algorithm can solve the above large-scale mixed-integer nonlinear problem accurately and rapidly, while satisfying the demand of distribution network coordinated operation. Finally, the IEEE 69-node system is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid algorithm.
