The basic study for development of a method for determining the LDC parameters of LRT and SVR using PV output forecasting

摘要

This paper proposes a new method for determining the LDC (Load Drop Compensator) parameters of LRT (Load Ratio Transformer) and SVR (Step Voltage Regulator). Since the voltage control effect of LRT and SVR depends on the LDC parameter, the proper parameters should be chosen in order to control voltage within proper range. When the photovoltaic generation system is installed in the distribution system, voltage control becomes difficult and the optimal parameters in the daytime differ from those in the nighttime. In the proposed method, the parameters are reset every hour. The parameters are determined by choosing from the database including all the optimal parameters for each time period in the past. The database also includes the PV output profiles and load profiles in the past, and the proposed method searches the similar time periods in the database to the next one hour period by comparing forecasted PV output profiles with that in the database. And the common parameters among the similar time periods are chosen for the next one hour. The simulation results will be shown to evaluate the performance of proposed method.
