Abstract
The uncertainty of solar generation is a challenging issue for the operation and control of distribution systems. Also, because of the large number of control and operation variables in advanced distribution networks, the centralized optimization technique requires high computational capabilities. In this paper, a distributed voltage regulation approach in a distribution system based on the predictor corrector proximal multiplier (PCPM) algorithm has been presented. This paper focuses on the voltage rise in distribution systems with high penetration of photovoltaics. The proposed method uses a clustering approach to divide the network into partitions based on the coupling degrees among different nodes. The optimal reactive power control strategy is conducted in each partition and integrated using PCPM. The proposed method is tested on 69 and 123 nodes IEEE distribution test systems. The results confirmed that the proposed method achieves the optimal solution with the same accuracy as the centralized method but in a much shorter computation time.
