It extends the control of individual resources to a co-planning of three resources, aiming to achieve optimal power balance and economic objectives. Firstly, to address the uncertainty of source-load, a WGAN algorithm based on SDPA is proposed, which improves the quality of generated scenarios by setting weights to the input-output power matching degree. Secondly, a BZ partitioning index is constructed based on source-load and electrical characteristics, and the SPTV-improved GA is used to achieve optimal partitioning of the distribution network, reducing the configuration cost of active resources by 81 %. Finally, a dual-layer model of DR-ESS is established, with DR prioritized and ESS as auxiliary, to achieve the collaborative optimization of both, improving the DG absorption rate by over 10 %. A GDN in Zhejiang, China, is taken as an example for case analysis. The results show that the proposed NLS co-planning method reduces the daily operating cost of the distribution network, improves DG absorption by 38 %, and decreases the supply-demand imbalance by 63 %.

To this end, a new scaling factor is introduced and integrated with the coefficient of fault current in the relay model which virtually increases the fault currents seen by the corresponding DOCR. In the proposed approach, this scaling factor is considered as an optimization variable and individual setting for the DOCR to create a proper distinction between fault currents and load currents. By doing so, this new variable facilitates the optimal relay coordination within a new framework that results in meeting selectivity constraints and reducing the relays operation times. However, the integration of this scaling factor alongside the coefficient of fault current in the model of relays may leads to unintentional tripping during normal conditions. Therefore, through an innovative modification in the logic of the DOCR, this challenge is addressed. Since the developed logic necessitates the use of numerical relays, the associated costs of replacing traditional relays with numerical ones should be taken into account. Therefore, the proposed coordination scheme is subsequently extended through a techno-economic model and the gray relational analysis (GRA) algorithm is employed to navigate the complex decision-making process from the Pareto front. The results demonstrate that replacing 25 % of the relays with numeric ones can satisfy selectivity requirements even in the presence of fault resistance, while the overall operation times of primary and backup relays can be reduced dramatically by up to 65 %.
