Abstract
The high degree of penetration of residential rooftop photovoltaic systems causes the overvoltage problem in power distribution systems. This paper aims to introduce demand‐side management for a distribution system for overvoltage prevention. A real‐time overvoltage prevention coordination scheme between an on‐load tap changer (OLTC) and multi‐community energy management systems (multi‐CEMSs) is proposed. The main objectives of this control are to relieve the stress in the OLTC tap operation using household schedulable loads and to maximize customer profit in each CEMS. The load scheduling performed by each CEMS is formulated as a combinatorial, nonlinear, time‐series scheduling optimization problem and is solved by a sequential search method named voltage‐ranking‐based load combination search algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated in a model distribution system with1800 customers. © 2017 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
