Study on Stability and Reactive Power Optimization of Active Distribution Network Based on Bifurcation Theory

Abstract

as the basic method used to analyze the stability of nonlinear dynamic system, it is able to more deeply discuss the stability problems of power system in the vicinity of a critical point in comparison with traditional analysis method. Active power distribution network is a complicated nonlinear dynamic system. The change of voltage stability is the process to convert from stable status to bifurcation in essence. Taking 10-node active distribution system as an example, the author studies the influence of reactive power optimization on voltage stability based on bifurcation theory. The author explains the reactive optimization algorithm based on numerical simulation, namely, it is the decision - making algorithm in order to realize multiple purposes of having minimum power network loss, largest reactive power margin with stable operation of power distribution network and minimum voltage floating in system fluctuation, which is proved to be effective in elevating power distribution system stability, reducing power loss and improving voltage quality.
