Intelligent Planning Method for "Head Link" of Feeder Considering Pipeline-Grid Coupling : Intelligent Planning of Distribution Network

In view of the lack of planning methods for the transformation of the "head link" problem of feeders in the existing research, the solution of this problem still needs to be realized manually. To this end, this paper proposes an intelligent transformation planning method for the "head link" problem based on the coupling model of pipeline and power grid. Firstly, the coupling model of the pipeline and the power grid was constructed to provide a basic model for the path optimization of the connecting line. Then, according to the grid planning guidelines, the "head link" feeder is located. Then, a planning model with the goal of optimal economic cost and constraints such as "head link" and heavy overload is established, and the hippopotamus optimization algorithm and Dijkstra algorithm are used to solve the optimal transformation scheme. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified on a real distribution network example.
