Abstract

This paper presents a coordinated Volt/Var control strategy of smart distribution grids where the main objective is to minimize the active power losses (kW/h) of the system. The proposed methodology uses the heuristic methods that allow coordinated central control of traditional equipment (voltage regulators and capacitor banks) as well as electronic power devices (solid state transformer and others distributed resource). For validation propose and showing the effectiveness of this method, it was first applied to a IEEE test network through an integrated interface between MATLAB and OpenDSS software. With promising results from the simulation, the algorithm was developed and applied in a real network from REG Sul, belonging to the CPFL group, through a computational platform called ADMS or “Active Distribution Management System”.
