Abstract

Reactive power control in power systems is an important way to ensure stable system operation. However, as the coupling between multi-energy systems increases, the uncertainty of supply and demand in the power system poses new challenges for reactive power control. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to perform reactive power balance control of the grid in a multi-energy system. Firstly, we studied the characteristics of reactive power demand during the energy transport of a multi-energy system. In addition, we studied the reactive power output characteristics of various power sources and their uncertainties. The reactive power balance of the multi-energy system and its uncertainty model are established. Then, we studied the adjustable pressure limits of the energy medium transmission pipelines of the heat supply network and the gas pipeline network. The reactive power demand capacity of the system is determined according to the system's energy condition and safe operation boundary. Finally, we established a reactive power optimization simulation model of the multi-energy system, considering the heat-gas network constraints. The study proposes that the optimal reactive power control method can improve the voltage stability of the multi-energy system.
