A hierarchical voltage control method for multi-terminal AC/DC distribution system

A hierarchical control system is proposed in this paper to control the voltage of multi-terminal AC/DC distribution system. The hierarchical control system consists of PCC voltage control system, DG voltage control system and voltage regulator control system. The functions of three systems are to control the voltage of DC distribution network, AC bus voltage and area voltage. A method is proposed to deal with the whole control system. And a case study indicates that when voltage fluctuating, three layers of power flow control system is running orderly, and can maintain voltage stability.
