Abstract:

To address the safety and stability issues caused by power fluctuations in renewable energy generation and load in regional distribution networks, while considering the coupling of high- and low-frequency fluctuations on both the generation and load sides, this study proposes a two-stage hybrid energy storage configuration method based on empirical mode decomposition and multi-objective optimization. The framework aims to establish a coordinated optimization mechanism that integrates high-/low-frequency fluctuation mitigation with economic operation and system stability. In the first-stage model, a moving average filter is used to extract the power fluctuations that need to be mitigated by the hybrid energy storage system. The improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN) is then applied to separate the high- and low-frequency components of the minute-level grid-connected power fluctuations. By considering the comprehensive cost of supercapacitors (SCs) and minute-level fluctuations, the optimal noise standard deviation and the mode boundary number between high- and low-frequency components are determined to achieve an optimal SC configuration for mitigating high-frequency minute-level fluctuations in photovoltaic generation. In the second-stage model, a multi-objective optimization based on an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is conducted to optimize the capacity configuration of the hybrid energy storage system, with the objectives of minimizing the comprehensive system cost, power loss, and voltage fluctuations. This approach provides a configuration scheme that simultaneously addresses minute-level and hourly-level fluctuations. The proposed method is validated using the IEEE 33-node system. The results demonstrate that, compared to traditional methods, this approach effectively considers the coupling of high- and low-frequency fluctuations at individual nodes and across the system. Specifically, it reduces minute-level high-frequency grid-connected fluctuations by 91.1%, the average voltage deviation by 10.1%, the maximum voltage deviation by 55.4%, system power loss by 55.9%, and system purchased electricity by 10.88%.
