Distribution network and microgrid dual-layer optimization
This article proposes a scenario generation method using a generative adversarial network (GAN) to handle the uncertainty associated with DGs and constructs a two-layer optimization model for the distribution network. This paper proposes a novel two-stage, dual-layer distributed optimization operational. . Considering the interests of distribution networks and microgrids, a distribution network-multi-microgrid master–slave game model is established by selecting distribution networks as game masters and microgrids as game slaves. A master–slave game equilibrium algorithm based on a Kriging metamodel. . The integration of a distributed generator (DG) into the distribution network alters the topology structure and power flow distribution, subsequently causing changes in network loss. Moreover, existing distribution network optimization methods face high computational complexity, low efficiency, and. .
