Abstract As the prevalence of distributed power sources grows, the distinctions between transmission and distribution networks will blur further. In addition to conventional and renewable energy sources, electric vehicles and energy storage are also regarded as dynamic resources for system operation adjustments. This article establishes response models based on the response strategies, constraints, and costs of controllable loads and energy storage resources, and proposes a multi-stage active distribution network optimization and scheduling optimization method for “source load storage” collaborative interaction. Secondly, a novel optimization scheduling method for distribution networks is formulated, aiming to enhance both reliability and cost-effectiveness while adhering to constraints such as network balance, distributed power generation, and energy storage charging and discharging. Finally, the feasibility and correctness of the optimized scheduling model and algorithm were verified using the IEEE-24 node system as an example.
