Special Session 2

Special Session: Special Session: Data-Model Dual-Driven Digital Twin Modeling and Application for Power Distribution Networks
Organizer: Xiangmin Xie, Qingdao University & Bo Gao, East China Jiaotong University, China

The structure of traditional power distribution network (PDN) is generally radial network, which is basically without active control in normal operation. Unlike the traditional PDN, the new PDN is accompanied by the access of multiple source loads such as distributed new energy generation, electric vehicles, energy storage devices, etc. Most of these sources and loads contain power electronic devices, and their operation characteristics are strongly nonlinear and stochastic, which leads to the operation state of the new PDN becoming exceptionally complex, for example, it will show stronger nonlinearities and uncertainties after oscillations or failures, and the power quality indexes will be exceeded seriously, and so on. For this reason, it is necessary to enhance the cognition, management and regulation of the new PDN. In addition, the new PDN has a large number of advanced measurement and communication devices, and the acquisition and transmission of data become more flexible, which provides a new opportunity for the application of digital twin technology in the new PDN. Compared with the information physical system or model-driven simulation technology that focuses on entity manipulation, the new PDN with digital twin focuses more on data-driven real-time situational awareness and ultra-real-time virtual projection, which can accurately perceive the real state of the new PDN through dynamic monitoring and holographic simulation, and provide auxiliary support for grid regulation and decision-making.

Topics:
Digital twin modeling of power electronics-type devices
Data-model driven source-load modeling
Analytical modeling of power quality for new power distribution systems
