Abstract

Modern electric energy system is characterized by the integration of a high amount of distributed energy sources which cause new challenges in medium and low voltage networks. As a consequence, several distributed generation active control techniques have been considered in the literature as measure of mitigating such events. This paper introduces a new local voltage control scheme that uses both active and reactive powers so as to address the problem of voltage regulation in distribution network with high penetration of renewable energy sources. This scheme uses information regarding the R/X ratio of the lines to enhance the effectiveness of traditional droops in case of lines with non-negligible resistance. The proposed method emphasizes on preventing unnecessary active power exchange with the grid during admissible voltage range while achieving the best results for more severe voltage deviations. The performance of the proposed method is tested on LV and MV benchmark networks and a comparative analysis to existing local methods is performed.
