Coordinated control of automated devices and photovoltaic generators for voltage rise mitigation in power distribution circuits

摘要: A coordinating, model-centric control strategy for mitigating voltage rise problems due to photovoltaic (PV) penetration into power distribution circuits is presented. The coordinating objective maintain an optimum circuit and schedule, where the operation determined without PV generation on circuit. In determining schedules utility controls, such as switched capacitor banks regulators, separate from inverter controls. Optimization addresses minimizing losses motion of action provides set-points inverters that are a function loading or time-of-day also location inverter. Three scenarios considered, 10%, 20%, 30%. Baselines with controls performance established, these baselines compared against three control. Simulation results differences in variations considered along motion. Results show can solve problem while reducing will work existing accept setpoints having modify
