Abstract
Currently, in the literature, the slow responding device like on-load tap changer transformer (OLTC) is better operated by introducing the time delay in the operation of fast-acting converters. Although the literature also indicates an improvement in the transient condition, it keeps the converters idle during the waiting period. Henceforth, there is a lot of scope for improving the reactive power reserve. In this article, we propose a coordinated voltage control (CVC) scheme that employs a unique approach where the converters are allowed to absorb reactive power (of a specific voltage range from the grid) during the waiting period. A modified IEEE 33-bus distribution system is modeled in the real-time digital simulator platform and the simulation results are compared with the existing and without CVC schemes. The simulation results justify the effectiveness of the proposed CVC scheme in terms of improving the reactive power reserve and voltage profile up to 100%/164% and 0.0093 pu/0.014 pu against existing/without CVC scheme, respectively. Furthermore, the postfault voltage recovery time in the case of proposed CVC is decreased by 20 ms/28 ms with respect to the existing/without CVC schemes. These results imply that the proposed CVC scheme performs better in all the operating conditions of the grid.
