With the rapid development of power load and the increase of distributed energies and new flexible loads, the task of building a first-class distribution network is becoming more and more urgent. However, in practice, there is a tendency to blindly pursue high technical indices at all costs. With the current development status and intelligent development direction of China's distribution networks being considered, the core task of lean planning called “three kinds of coordination with quick power recovery” is noted, and the expectation of management improvement strategies for an active distribution network is shown. Among these strategies, the "three kinds of coordination" refer to the coordination of power supply areas, of high and medium voltage distribution networks and of primary and secondary systems for medium voltage distribution networks (called “one-ring three-segmentation three-automation”). The "quick power recovery" is used to select fault processing modes. Also, it is pointed out that the Internet of Things (IoT), high-speed communication and energy storage are the key technologies for the source-network-load-storage coordinated dispatching of a distribution network. Finally, the capacity for a power network to accept intermittent new energies and loads (including new flexible loads) is promoted through intelligent interaction.
