Abstract This paper presents a method for reconstructing distribution networks using soft open point (SOP) and demand response (DR) energy storage, which can effectively solve the problems of voltage overruns, line overcurrent, and bidirectional flow currents caused by the photovoltaic (PV) getting into the distribution network. First, the model for the rebuilding of the distribution network is created by using the energy storage method of DR and SOP. Then, MISOCP, which stands for mixed-integer second-order cone programming, is the model that is used to change the distribution network reconfiguration, and the transformed model is solved by the MOSEK algorithm package in MATLAB. Finally, the strategy suggested in this research may successfully enhance the distribution grid’s consumption capacity after PV access, as shown by the verification in the IEEE33 node distribution grid system.
