Abstract:

The development of distributed power generation, new energy storage, and adjustable load on the distribution network side increased the difficulty of ensuring secure and reliable power supply. Rational planning of autonomous units can enhance flexibility, power supply security, and ability to integrate energy at the minimum economic cost. However, existing planning methods mostly consider constraints of power supply reliability and economic efficiency, without considering resource relevance, control modes, and electricity market factors, resulting in redundant planning results and resource waste. This paper reviewed and analyzed the physical scope of autonomous units, influencing factors of capacity planning, modeling methods and solving algorithms, clarifies the physical meaning of autonomous units, analyzes the influence of source-load random uncertainty and correlation, regulation mode, electricity market policy and other factors on autonomous unit capacity planning, discusses the autonomous unit modeling method considering multiple factors, and compares the applicable conditions of different solving algorithms. Finally, the shortcomings of the current autonomous unit capacity planning were summarized, and corresponding suggestions and prospects were proposed.
