Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the application of river formation dynamics to size the widths of power distribution network for very large-scale integration designs so that the wire area required by power rails is minimized. The area minimization problem is transformed into a single objective optimization problem subject to various design constraints, such as IR drop and electromigration constraints. Design/methodology/approach The minimization process is carried out using river formation dynamics heuristic. The random probabilistic search strategy of river formation dynamics heuristic is used to advance through stringent design requirements to minimize the wire area of an over-designed power distribution network. Findings A number of experiments are performed on several power distribution benchmarks to demonstrate the effectiveness of river formation dynamics heuristic. It is observed that the river formation dynamics heuristic outperforms other standard optimization techniques in most cases, and a power distribution network having 16 million nodes is successfully designed for optimal wire area using river formation dynamics. Originality/value Although many research works are presented in the literature to minimize wire area of power distribution network, these research works convey little idea on optimizing very large-scale power distribution networks (i.e. networks having more than four million nodes) using an automated environment. The originality in this research is the illustration of an automated environment equipped with an efficient optimization technique based on random probabilistic movement of water drops in solving very large-scale power distribution networks without sacrificing accuracy and additional computational cost. Based on the computation of river formation dynamics, the knowledge of minimum area bounded by optimum IR drop value can be of significant advantage in reduction of routable space and in system performance improvement.

In recent years, large-scale new energy sources have been connected to the power distribution network, and the ubiquitous power IoT sensing technology has developed rapidly. At the same time, the increase in energy consumption has placed higher requirements on the consumption of new energy, which has led to the “Triple-Alls” (All access, All sensing, All consumption) requirements of the distribution network. To this end, this paper conducts a series of studies on the “Triple-Alls” distribution network: First, it analyzes the characteristics and key technologies of the “Triple-Alls” distribution network by comparing with traditional distribution networks, and then establishes energy storage, photovoltaic, and wind power. Information model of “Triple-Alls” distribution network. Then, a platform design scheme meeting the requirements is constructed. Finally, the application functions of “All access”, “All sensing” and “All consumption” in the distribution network are explained in detail.

In recent years, with the gradual depletion of traditional energy, as renewable energy representatives, new energy has developed rapidly. We know that distributed photovoltaic power generation with clean, pollution-free, easy installation, and therefore has been rapid development. However, the large number of distributed photovoltaic power generation connected to the distribution network would have a negative impact on the grid with a safe and reliable operation because of its randomness and volatility intrinsic properties. In this paper, in terms of power flow, voltage distribution, load characteristics, power quality, system protection and reliability departure, through MATLAB simulation analysis, the distribution network transformation strategies of primary and secondary devices has been proposed. It laid an important foundation for renewable energy development and the Third Industrial Revolution.

Near the load of distribution network access distributed networks, the entire distribution network load distribution will change, system trend then change, then the trend of the distribution network can also be changed from the original "one-way flow" to "two-way flow". For synchronous generator connected to the power distribution network, the input active power and reactive power at the same time to the system, can reduce the loss and the voltage distribution network can play a supporting role, but for asynchronous induction generator connected to the power distribution network, the input to the system active power and reactive power absorption, reduce the power factor of the grid. By trend analysis found that introducing asynchronous induction generator to increase distribution network loss, deterioration in transmission line voltage level. Distributed generators after introducing the distribution network could reduce may also increase the system network loss.
