In this paper, we propose a novel Health-Focused Optimal Power Flow (HF-OPF) to take into account the equipment health in operational and physical constraints. The health condition index is estimated based on the possible fault characteristics for generators and batteries. The paper addresses the need for understanding the relationship between health condition index and the operational constraints in OPF problems. Such a relationship is established through Finite Element Method (FEM)-based simulations. The simulations for generator and battery faults indicate the presence of an inflection point after which effect of fault becomes severe. A microgrid system is used to illustrate the performance of the proposed HF-OPF. The results show that health condition inflicts high cost of generation and can lead to infeasibility even with less critical faults.

注重健康的最佳潮流

在本文中，我们提出了一种新型的以健康为中心的最佳功率流（HF-OPF），以考虑操作和物理约束条件下的设备健康状况。健康状况指数是根据发电机和电池可能的故障特征估算的。本文提出了理解健康状况指标与OPF问题中的操作约束之间关系的需求。这种关系是通过基于有限元方法（FEM）的模拟建立的。发电机和电池故障的仿真表明存在拐点，之后拐点的影响变得严重。使用微电网系统来说明所提出的HF-OPF的性能。结果表明，健康状况会导致较高的发电成本，即使发生较少的严重故障也可能导致不可行。
