Abstract In order to solve the problems of voltage exceeding limits, local use, and reverse power flow due to the high proportion of distributed photovoltaic grid connections, a distributed photovoltaic uptake method considering demand-side resources and energy storage is proposed. Firstly, based on the equivalent thermal parameter (ETP) method, a load scheduling model for temperature-controlled loads is established. Secondly, with the objective function of minimizing the comprehensive operating cost of the distribution system, combined with the regulating effect of energy storage, stability and safety constraints for the distribution network, as well as the adjustable characteristics of thermal storage electric heating, air conditioning load, and electric vehicles, a demand side optimization model for the distribution network is established, which takes into account voltage safety and distributed photovoltaic uptake. Finally, based on historical data in Fengning County, Chengde City, and a certain park in Tangshan City, simulation analysis was conducted to obtain scheduling schemes and various scheduling indicators for the joint participation of demand-side resources and energy storage in the distributed photovoltaic local use of the distribution network under different permeability. The effectiveness and rationality of the proposed distributed photovoltaic consumption model were verified.
