BEIJING, June 18 (Xinhua) -- State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power Supply Company has launched a pilot adaptive dispatch system in Xinchang County, east China's Zhejiang Province, to better manage growing distributed generation and ensure grid stability.
On June 12, as temperatures rose and photovoltaic output surged, an AI-powered dispatch agent operated by the grid company instantly responded by issuing commands to halt hydropower units and automatically adjusting the operation mode of two 35 kV lines and three 10 kV lines, successfully eliminating the reverse flow and optimizing renewable energy consumption.
Built on the dispatching cloud and next-generation dispatch platform, the system uses reinforcement learning to create a forward-looking dispatch agent. The agent coordinates main and distribution grid operations and enables flexible interaction among sources, loads, and storage.
Since the pilot began, photovoltaic forecast accuracy in the area has reached 97.2 percent, and the local renewable energy consumption rate has increased by approximately 32 percent year-on-year. The company plans to expand the system's applications in the province and support the development of the new electricity system demonstration zone. (Edited by Liu Yilu)
