Abstract

This paper mainly investigates risk assessment of voltage limit violation in active distribution network with integration of wind generation (WG), photovoltaic generation (PVG) and electric vehicles (EVs). Firstly, to avoid additional peak load caused by random EV charging, a controlled EV charging and discharging strategy is designed. Then, for the correlations of spatially near WGs and PVGs, Nataf transformation and orthogonal transformation (OT) are integrated to solve the problem, and this provides a path for point estimate method (PEM) based probabilistic load flow (PLF) to obtain steady-state voltage of active distribution network. Furthermore, based on the voltage results, a model for quantifying the risk of voltage limit violation is developed by considering loss of load caused by voltage limit violation, which is different from the previous risk indices calculated by possibility and severity of voltage limit violation. Finally, the proposed model is tested on the modified IEEE 33-bus system. Simulation results confirm that the effective EV charging/discharging strategies and penetration increment of WG and PVG help to decrease operation risk of active distribution network.
