Overview of Active Distribution Network Planning With High Proportion of New Energy Access

The new energy is connected to the distribution network in the form of distributed generation, which brings uncontrollability, randomness and volatility to the system. With the help of modern power electronics, information and communication and automatic control technologies, the active distribution network with flexibility and controllability has become a development trend. The active distribution network planning is one of the major research fields in recent years. Based on the research results in this field at home and abroad, the research contents and methods of active distribution network planning were summarized, analyzed and prospected. The basic structure of the active distribution network was described, and the characteristics of the components of the distribution network were introduced. According to the different control variables, the planning models of active distribution network were classified, the optimization objectives in the model were summarized. The commonly used model solving algorithms and their advantages and disadvantages were analyzed and summarized. Through the discussion of key issues, the development trend of active distribution network in the future was analyzed.
