description With the proposal of the dual carbon target, the distributed photovoltaic (PV) industry has rapidly developed in recent years. However, the randomness and volatility of photovoltaic energy can be transmitted to the main grid through distribution network substations, posing challenges to the stable operation of the power system. Therefore, this paper considers tapping into the regulation potential of feeder loads on the distribution network side, as well as distributed energy storage and distributed PV resources, to enhance the grid’s control methods. A power fluctuation smoothing control strategy for substations in distribution networks, accounting for multiple types of regulation resources, is proposed. In the day-ahead stage, traditional voltage regulation devices such as the OLTC (on-load tap changer) and CB (circuit breaker) are pre-dispatched based on source–load forecasts, optimizing the fluctuation range of substation power and the number of device operations. This provides optimal substation power values for day-to-day optimization. During the intraday phase, fast regulation devices such as PV (photovoltaic), SVC (static var compensator), and energy storage systems are coordinated, and an optimization model is established with the goal of reducing power curtailment while closely tracking substation trends. This model quickly calculates the active power regulation and device operations of various adjustable resources, improving the economic efficiency of the distribution network system while achieving power fluctuation smoothing at the substation level. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the power fluctuation smoothing control model are verified through simulations on an improved standard distribution system.
