Abstract

Abstract Nowadays, integration of new devices like Distributed Generation, small energy storage and smart meter, to distribution networks introduced new challenges that require more sophisticated control strategies. This paper proposes a new technique called Optimal Coordinated Voltage Control (OCVC) to solve a multi-objective optimization problem with the objective to minimize the voltage error at pilot buses, the reactive power deviation and the voltage error at the generators. OCVC uses Pareto optimization to find the optimal values of voltage of the generators and OLTC. It proposes an optimal participation of reactive power of all devices available in the network. OCVC is compared with the classical method of Coordinated Voltage Control and is tested on the IEEE 13 and 34 Node test feeders with unbalanced load. Some disturbances are investigated and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
