Abstract: A three-stage reconstruction strategy for flexible distribution networks considering intelligent Soft Open Points (SOPs) with near-zero power switching is proposed, addressing the switching problem involved in the reconfiguration of flexible interconnected distribution networks. Firstly, an optimal power flow model is established with the minimal active power loss and voltage deviation in the distribution network serving as objective functions to obtain the target switch combination. Secondly, by using the Hamming distance dataset method with loop closure and solution constraints and taking into account the SOP power flow regulation effect, the topology structure formed by different switch switching combinations in the temporal process is optimized to obtain the optimal switch combination sequence. Subsequently, the optimal output power of SOP is determined by optimizing the objectives of minimizing the voltage difference before closing the switch and minimizing the current before opening the switch. The output power is used as the reference power for the SOP dual-loop control strategy, and the power compensation control of SOP is used for correction, ultimately achieving seamless switching of the switch. Next, the near-zero power switching technology is introduced into multi period optimization reconstruction. Finally, a simulation model is built using MATLAB and PSCAD/EMTDC to verify the feasibility and correctness of the method.
