Complex solution to problems of voltage regulation in extended networks of 0.4 kV

With the transition to the digital economy and digital energy, in particular, there appear a lot of barriers that need to be eliminated as soon as possible. For example, outdated equipment in electric power systems, cybersecurity of facilities, new data transmission protocols, lack of personnel with the necessary "digital" competencies. All this forms the basis of the concept of the Internet of Energy. The article considers the problem of automation of voltage regulation in extended networks of 0.4 kV. The verification of the proposed approach was carried out in the EUROSTAG software package and in the test program. The results showed that the use of the patented devices of Demand Side Management-the normalizers of AC voltage provide automatic voltage maintenance at the implemented facilities, and the creation of a simulation model will allow to unify the production technology with the addition of the functions necessary for the customer.
