Key technologies and applications of cloud-edge collaborative integrated low and medium voltage distributed photovoltaic coordination control

Abstract The large-scale distributed photovoltaic access leads to overvoltage, equipment overload, and difficulty in on-site consumption, which causes power to be sent back to the high voltage level, posing hidden dangers to the safe operation of the distribution network. This article proposes optimizing the medium-voltage distribution network at the cloud side with the goal of maximum consumption and operating cost, forming a rolling strategy adjustment based on load forecasting within the day. At the edge side, the distributed photovoltaic control in the low-voltage distribution network within the jurisdiction is adjusted based on the daily adjustment strategy issued by the cloud side, completing the optimization and regulation of distributed photovoltaics on a distribution substation unit basis to achieve the control and integration of distributed power sources and consumption, coordination between operation and side, and coordinated control in the integrated medium and low-voltage zoning, achieving autonomous distribution substations and feeder lines. Field applications have proven that this solution solves problems such as line and transformer overload, and voltage quality caused by distributed photovoltaic power generation.
