Voltage Control Strategies for Distribution Networks with Distributed Energy Resources

Abstract

This publication presents a research on the Voltage Control Strategies for Distribution networks with Distributed Energy Resources (DER). Taking into account the network topology and the load and generation profiles some typical states are calculated using the STATUS power system analysis software. Furthermore, a quasi-dynamic analysis and test case with distributed photovoltaic generators (PVG) in a distribution network is performed in order to demonstrate the interaction of different converter interfaced DER and other network controlled elements such as under load tap changers. Based on the results obtained valuable conclusions and recommendations are made.
