ADVANCED VOLTAGE CONTROL FOR NETWORKS WITH DISTRIBUTED GENERATION

With increasing levels of distributed generation, the control of voltage levels across distribution networks requires a system that can function under dynamic operating conditions. Problematic effects of distributed generation and the associated changes in power flow are inaccurate Load Drop Compensation, voltage rises at the points of generator connection and impaired voltage control for paralleled transformers. This paper describes a voltage control methodology that has been developed to solve these problems for use in voltage control relays that control On Load Tap Changing power transformers.
