A System to Simulate the Behavior of Distribution Systems Voltage Regulators with Embedded Software IP Core Control

Abstract

This paper proposes a system to simulate the behavior of distribution systems voltage regulators with embedded software IP core control, in Matlab Simulink with Altera DSP builder blocks. This system can be applied for real unbalanced three-phase systems containing three-phase banks of single phase regulators connected in delta or open-delta configurations. For the output voltage adjustment, the signal received from the network will be the output voltage of the PTs and the output signals to the equipment will be the control signals that will act in the tap change motor of each one of the single regulators
