Research on Feeder Power Balancing Technology Based on SNOP Droop Control

The use of soft normally open point (SNOP) instead of the traditional tie switch can realize the closed-loop operation of the urban distribution network and realize the controllability of the transmission power of the feeder. In this paper, for the 10kV AC feeders of the urban distribution network, the SNOP composed of the back to back voltage source converter (B2B-VSC) is used to flexibly interconnect the two feeders, then, based on the droop control, an active power real-time modulation strategy based on power equalization technology is designed. The active power distribution coefficient is used to realize the active power deviation control of the feeders, and the load balance between the feeders is realized. The PSCAD/EMTDC simulation software was used to build a two-feeder distribution system using SNOP flexible interconnection, and the original dual-loop control strategy was improved by using power balance technology. The simulation results show that the active power real-time modulation strategy based on power equalization technology can balance the load between feeders in real-time under the condition of local control, and improve the utilization and operational reliability of feeder equipment.
