Alternatives for voltage control in the scenario of Smart Grids

Abstract

Before the deployment of Smart Grids the quality of voltage is replaced by a new focus, because the regulator is able to improve the activity, the user has access to the value of the voltage in real time and the distributor, in turn, needs to meet the regulatory actions and expectations of its customers. Nowadays in conventional networks the voltage adjustment is performed from the reference voltage set point of itself, as in the scenario of Smart Grids beyond this value is also possible to use the records of voltage of other feeder points. In this new scenario is appropriate to identify alternatives related to voltage control in distribution networks, in this way, the present work presents the forecast of voltage for monitoring points located throughout the electrical system. From the results obtained for the prediction is introduced the concept of intelligent control. The presented methodology considers the taking of proactive actions and proposes the development of a tool to support the operating voltage control in real time.
