基于近端策略优化的电力系统弹性增强多智能体框架

A Resilience-enhanced Multi-agent Framework for Power Systems Based on Proximal Policy Optimization

  • 摘要: 现有的电力系统弹性提升方法,如移动电源调度、主动发电重调度和网络拓扑重构等,都未深入研究无功补偿器在中断事件期间和中断事件后维持电压稳定的能力和灵活性。同时,这些方法对系统模型的精确程度要求较高,难以应用于大型综合电网。为此,该文提出一种基于深度强化学习的近端策略优化方法的多智能体框架,以解决与精确系统建模相关的计算和可扩展性问题,并为电力系统弹性增强制定无功补偿器部署计划,引入一种基于智能体的混合柔性动作评价算法,用于无功补偿器的离线定位、分级和在线控制,以提高其电压恢复能力。多智能体框架通过学习以前的经验并接受训练,最终确定无功补偿器适当的位置和大小,以避免多线路故障期间的节点电压越限状况。以暴风雨期间多线路停电引起的电压越限问题为例,在IEEE 39节点系统上进行验证,结果表明:多智能体框架能够有效规划和控制无功补偿器,消除或减少故障线路脱网状况下的节点电压越限情况,提高电力系统的弹性。

     

    Abstract: Existing power system resilience enhancement methods, such as mobile power scheduling, active generation rescheduling, and network topology reconfiguration, have not fully explored the potential of the reactive power compensator to maintain voltage stability during and after an outage event and flexibility. Additionally, they require a high degree of accuracy in system modeling, which poses challenges for them to scale up their application to large-scale integrated power grids. To this end, in the paper we propose a multi-agent framework based on deep reinforcement learning for proximal policy optimization methods, aiming to address the computational and scalability issues associated with accurate system modeling. Moreover, we develop a reactive compensator deployment plan for power system resilience enhancement. This plan incorporates a hybrid soft action critic algorithm based on agent for offline localization, classification, and on-line control of reactive compensators to improve their voltage recovery capability. The multi-agent framework learns from previous experiences and is trained to determine the appropriate location and sizing of reactive power compensators, thereby preventing bus voltage overshoot during multi-line faults. As a case study, the voltage overshoot problem caused by a multi-line outage during a storm is validated on an IEEE 39 bus system. The results indicate that the multi-agent framework can effectively coordinate and control the reactive power compensators to eliminate or minimize the bus voltage overruns during faulted line off-grid conditions, which improves the resilience of the power system.
