A Two-Stage Intelligent Reactive Power Optimization Method for Power Grids Based on Dynamic Voltage Partitioning

Aiming at issues such as reactive power distribution fluctuations and insufficient local support caused by large-scale integration of renewable energy in new power systems, as well as the poor adaptability of traditional methods and bottlenecks of deep reinforcement learning in complex power grids, a two-stage intelligent optimization method for grid reactive power based on dynamic voltage partitioning is proposed. Firstly, a comprehensive indicator system covering modularity, regulation capability, and membership degree is constructed. Adaptive MOPSO is employed to optimize K-means clustering centers, achieving dynamic grid partitioning and decoupling large-scale optimization problems. Secondly, a Markov Decision Process model is established for each partition, incorporating a penalty mechanism for safety constraint violations into the reward function. The DDPG algorithm is improved through multi-experience pool probabilistic replay and sampling mechanisms to enhance agent training. Finally, an optimal reactive power regulation scheme is obtained through two-stage collaborative optimization. Simulation case studies demonstrate that this method effectively reduces solution complexity, accelerates convergence, accurately addresses reactive power dynamic distribution and local support deficiencies, and ensures voltage security and optimal grid losses.

Abstract

Aiming at issues such as reactive power distribution fluctuations and insufficient local support caused by large-scale integration of renewable energy in new power systems, as well as the poor adaptability of traditional methods and bottlenecks of deep reinforcement learning in complex power grids, a two-stage intelligent optimization method for grid reactive power based on dynamic voltage partitioning is proposed. Firstly, a comprehensive indicator system covering modularity, regulation capability, and membership degree is constructed. Adaptive MOPSO is employed to optimize K-means clustering centers, achieving dynamic grid partitioning and decoupling large-scale optimization problems. Secondly, a Markov Decision Process model is established for each partition, incorporating a penalty mechanism for safety constraint violations into the reward function. The DDPG algorithm is improved through multi-experience pool probabilistic replay and sampling mechanisms to enhance agent training. Finally, an optimal reactive power regulation scheme is obtained through two-stage collaborative optimization. Simulation case studies demonstrate that this method effectively reduces solution complexity, accelerates convergence, accurately addresses reactive power dynamic distribution and local support deficiencies, and ensures voltage security and optimal grid losses.
