Controllable Structure Planning for Energy Internet

Abstract

Secure system operations rely on reliable network structures. The loss of controllability may be the main reason to cause cascaded failures for complex network, e.g., Energy Internet (EI). However, the existing studies do not consider the network controllability to guide the system reconfiguration. To address this issue, the paper proposes a new structuring planning method for EI with consideration of controllability and economy. Firstly, the structure planning problem is modeled as a dynamic optimization problem with the tradeoff objectives of maximum social welfare and minimum driven nodes for long-term period. Then, a mixed maximum matching and deep deterministic policy gradient method is presented to obtain the approximate optimal planning solution with strong adaptability. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
