Kron Reduction Based on Node Ordering Optimization for Distribution Network Dispatching with Flexible Loads

Abstract

Kron reduction is a general tool of network simplification for flow calculation. With a growing number of flexible loads appearing in distribution networks, traditional Kron reduction cannot be widely used in control and scheduling due to the elimination of controllable and variable load buses. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved Kron reduction based on node ordering optimization whose principles guarantee that all the boundary nodes are retained eventually after eliminating the first row and the first column in every step according to the order, thereby making it possible to take full advantage of their potential to meet different requirements in power system calculation and dispatching. The proposed method is verified via simulation models of IEEE 5-bus and 30-bus systems through illustrating the dynamic consistency of the output active power of the generator nodes and the power flow data of preserved nodes before and after reduction.

“…Remark 1. Many practical systems can be formulated by the general linear multiagent systems with dynamic (3) or can be linearized to (3). Typically, the high-order system is a special linear system.…”

“…Theorem 2. Under Assumptions 1 and 2, the feedback gain K is selected such that A − BK is Hurwitz-stable; then, the output value y i generated from system (3) with controllers (19a)-( 19e) and triggering condition (20) achieves the optimal solution of problem (2). Besides, the control parameters satisfy that α > 0, β > 1/μ, δ > 0, σ > 0 and the Zeno behavior is avoided in triggering condition (20).…”

“…e conventional centralized method of gradient ow algorithm and intelligent optimization algorithm cannot be used e ectively in distributed multiagent systems, since a central control agent is required for collecting and calculating the global objective functions and constraints over the whole network. Recently, an increasing number of scholars have designed a series of distributed optimization algorithms, which signi cantly reduce the computational burden and thus become a critical branch of optimization [3].…”
