Abstract

With the high penetration of distributed photovoltaics (DPVs) integrated into the distribution network, the voltage problem becomes a critical problem. At present, the resources in the current distribution network hardly satisfy the requirements of voltage regulation. However, the huge amount of DPVs in the distribution network could be a potential voltage regulation resource due to the controllable active power and reactive power. In this paper, a day-ahead centralized and intraday decentralized combined voltage control method is proposed for high penetration DPVs connected distribution Networks. In the part of day-ahead control, centralized compensation of the distribution network voltage is achieved by controlling the gear ratio of the capacitor/reactor group on an hourly scale. The intraday control part consists of decentralized local control based on DPVs and centralized control based on energy storage (ES) equipment. The reactive and active power of DPVs is controlled in a decentralized way by using local priority sensitivity control based on the coordination with capacitor optimization. Finally, simulations are performed to verify the performance of the method. The results indicate that this method can effectively solve the voltage problem caused by DPVs.
