Research on Optimal Allocation of Network Loss for Centralized Renewable Energy Plants

Hybrid Power Station (HPS) will be one of the primary forms of the future power station to construct a safe and stable renewable power system. Due to the uneven regional spread of renewable energy resources, large-scale centralized development will become essential for renewable energy utilization. In this study, we investigate the optimal siting of HPS from the perspective of network loss optimization. First, we establish the basic model of network loss and propose this study's three basic assumptions through a three-bus radial network case study. Subsequently, to solve the optimal siting problem of centralized HPS, we propose a centralized HPS siting optimization method (CAM) and give a detailed application flowchart. Finally, we build an IEEE 14-bus model based on the MATLAB/Simulink platform to simulate and validate the CAM method and visualize the simulation data based on the IEEE 14-bus schematic, and the results obtained verify the effectiveness of the CAM method.
