With the large-scale integration of distributed photovoltaics, the morphology and characteristics of distribution networks are becoming increasingly complex. Accurate and efficient modeling of distributed photovoltaic aggregation is of significant importance for the planning and operation of new distribution networks. In this study, we first evaluated the similarity of different photovoltaic generation units by integrating the output characteristics of photovoltaic systems and the sensitivity indicators of grid connection points, proposing a distributed photovoltaic clustering method based on the K-means algorithm. Secondly, the output of the photovoltaic aggregation cluster was calculated using the capacity-weighting method. An equivalent network connecting various photovoltaic clusters was constructed based on the node elimination of the admittance matrix, and a modeling method for distributed photovoltaic aggregation was developed. Finally, the effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper was verified through the IEEE-33 test system. The results show that the distributed photovoltaics aggregation modeling method proposed in this paper can effectively simplify network topologies and improve the accuracy of the calculation results while also improving the efficiency of power flow analysis.
