In order to address the challenges posed by the intermittent and unpredictable nature of renewable energy in distributed power distribution networks, as well as to improve the economic and operational stability of distribution systems, this paper proposes the establishment of an active distribution network capable of accommodating renewable energy. The objective is to enhance the efficiency of new energy utilization. This study investigates optimal scheduling models for energy storage technologies and economic-operation dispatching techniques in distributed power distribution networks. Additionally, it develops a comprehensive demand response model, with real-time pricing and incentive policies aiming to minimize load peak\u2013valley differentials. The control mechanism incorporates time-of-use pricing and integrates a chaos particle swarm algorithm for a holistic approach to solution finding. By coordinating and optimizing the control of distributed power sources, energy storage systems, and flexible loads, the active distribution network achieves minimal operational costs while meeting demand-side power requirements, striving to smooth out load curves as much as possible. Case studies demonstrate significant enhancements during off-peak periods, with an approximately 60% increase in the load power overall elevation of load factors during regular periods, as well as a reduction in grid loads during evening peak hours, with a maximum decrease of nearly 65 kW. This approach mitigates grid operational pressures and user expense, effectively enhancing the stability and economic efficiency in distribution network operations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info15040225","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]],"date-time":"2024-04-17T08:22:44Z","timestamp":1713342164000},"page":"225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Economic Scheduling Model of an Active Distribution Network Based on Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Yaxuan","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Industrial Intelligent Perception, North China University of Science and Technology, Tangshan 063210, China"}]},{"given":"Jianuo","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Industrial Intelligent Perception, North China University of Science and Technology, Tangshan 063210, China"}]},{"given":"Zhongqi","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Industrial Intelligent Perception, North China University of Science and Technology, Tangshan 063210, China"}]},{"given":"Ziying","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Industrial Intelligent Perception, North China University of Science and Technology, Tangshan 063210, China"}]},{"given":"Chenxu","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Industrial Intelligent Perception, North China University of Science and Technology, Tangshan 063210, China"}]},{"given":"Xiangzhen","family":"Zang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Academy for Rural Revitalization of Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang A&F University, Hangzhou 311300, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3527-3773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhanlin","family":"Ji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Industrial Intelligent Perception, North China University of Science and Technology, Tangshan 063210, China"},{"name":"College of Mathematics and Computer Science, Zhejiang A&F University, Hangzhou 311300, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2255","DOI":"10.1049\/iet-rpg.2020.0049","article-title":"Energy management strategy of active distribution network with integrated distributed wind power and smart buildings","volume":"14","author":"Li","year":"2020","journal-title":"IET Renew.
