Multi-objective Planning of Optical Storage Considering Demand Side Management and Network Reconfiguration in Active Distribution Network

With the increase of new energy penetration in the grid and the involvement of active management in the distribution network, new challenges are brought to the planning of optical storage. Therefore, this paper addresses these problems and introduces a three-tier planning framework with multiple objectives for optical storage in networks taking into account the management of energy consumption on the consumer side and grid refactoring by considering the economics and stability of distribution network operation, and proposes a hybrid solution strategy combining multiple algorithms and a “modified ring network coding method” based on the complexity of the model. By improving the variational operator and redistribution operator in the frame reconstruction algorithm, the infeasible solutions such as “island” and “ring network” are avoided in the frame reconstruction process. Finally, the efficiency of the suggested model and combined approach is verified by simulating the IEEE-33 node ADN, and the impact of demand-side management and network reconfiguration on the planning results is investigated.
