Coordinated voltage regulation of hybrid AC/DC medium voltage distribution networks

Abstract In a hybrid AC/DC medium voltage distribution network, distributed generations (DGs), energy storage systems (ESSs), and the voltage source converters (VSCs) between AC and DC lines, have the ability to regulate node voltages in real-time. However, the voltage regulation abilities of above...

description Abstract In a hybrid AC/DC medium voltage distribution network, distributed generations (DGs), energy storage systems (ESSs), and the voltage source converters (VSCs) between AC and DC lines, have the ability to regulate node voltages in real-time. However, the voltage regulation abilities of above devices are limited by their ratings. And the voltage regulation efficiencies of these devices are also different. Besides, due to high r/x ratio, node voltages are influenced by both real and reactive power. In order to achieve the coordinated voltage regulation in a hybrid AC/DC distribution network, a priority-based real-time control strategy is proposed based on the voltage control effect of real and reactive power adjustment. The equivalence of real and reactive power adjustment on voltage control is considered in control area partition optimization, in which regulation efficiency and capability are taken as objectives. In order to accommodate more DGs, the coordination of controllable devices is achieved according to voltage sensitivities. Simulations studies are performed to verify the proposed method.
