Abstract
The high-precision parameters in distribution networks are difficult to obtain, which brings difficulties to the model-based methods and analysis. With the widespread deployment of high-precision measurement units, data-driven methods have greater advantages in practice. In addition, with massive integration of distributed renewable generation and fast electric vehicle chargers, the fluctuations of net load increase significantly. The data-driven power flow calculation method based on the linear model becomes difficult to obtain accurate results for the low nonlinear adaptability. To improve the data-driven power flow calculation accuracy under high penetration of renewable distribution generation, this paper proposed an approach with high adaptability to the nonlinearity of power flow. Based on the thought of Koopman operator theory, the nonlinear relationship in power flow calculation is converted into a linear mapping in a higher dimension state space, which can significantly improve the calculation accuracy. Case studies on different IEEE cases have demonstrated that the proposed method can realize higher accuracy in power flow calculation with large-scale power fluctuations, compared to the existing data-driven method, in both mesh and radial networks. Finally, measurement data of a practical 10kV distribution network has been further used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method in practical applications.
