提出了一种基于多智能体系统控制和网络自组织的大型配电网分布式电压调节方法。该网络自主地组织成小的子网络，通过灵敏度矩阵的分解，和代理组自己到这些子网络的通信链路被自主地确定。每个子网络通过定位最近的本地分布式发电并优化其输出来控制其电压。这简化并减小了优化问题的大小和交互要求。这种方法还通过自重组来促进网络的自适应分组，以响应于时变网络要求和变化而保持稳定状态。通过对一个真实的重环二次配电网模型的仿真，验证了该方法的有效性。仿真结果和与其他方法的比较表明，子网络的能力，自主和独立地调节电压，并适应不可预测的网络条件随着时间的推移，从而使自主和灵活的配电网络。
This paper presents a distributed voltage regulation method based on multi-agent system control and network self-organization for a large distribution network. The network autonomously organizes itself into small subnetworks through the epsilon decomposition of the sensitivity matrix, and agents group themselves into these subnetworks with the communication links being autonomously determined. Each subnetwork controls its voltage by locating the closest local distributed generation and optimizing their outputs. This simplifies and reduces the size of the optimization problem and the interaction requirements. This approach also facilitates adaptive grouping of the network by self-reorganizing to maintain a stable state in response to time-varying network requirements and changes. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through simulations on a model of a real heavily-meshed secondary distribution network. Simulation results and comparisons with other methods demonstrate the ability of the subnetworks to autonomously and independently regulate the voltage and to adapt to unpredictable network conditions over time, thereby enabling autonomous and flexible distribution networks.
