Abstract

Considering the possible overvoltage caused by high-penetration photovoltaics (PVs) connected to the distribution networks (DNs), a cluster partition-based voltage control combined day-ahead scheduling and real-time control for distribution networks is proposed. Firstly, a community detection algorithm utilizing a coupling quality function is introduced to divide the PVs into clusters. Based on the cluster partition, day-ahead scheduling (DAS) is proposed with the objective of minimizing the operating costs of PVs, as well as the on-load tap changer (OLTC). In the real-time control, a second-order cone programming (SOCP) model-based real-time voltage control (RTVC) strategy is drawn up in each cluster to regulate the PV inverters, and this strategy can correct the day-ahead scheduling by modifications. The proposed strategy realizes the combination of day-ahead scheduling and real-time voltage control, and the optimization of voltage control can be greatly simplified. Finally, the proposed method is applied to a practical 10 kV feeder to verify its effectiveness.
