Coordinated Control Strategy Considering Effect of Neighborhood Compensation for Voltage Improvement in Transmission Systems

摘要

This paper presents coordinated secondary voltage control based on partitioned power network and decentralized controllers designed for each region. The elements of control are installed on pilot buses (critical point for voltage control in each region). The aim is coordination among elements of control in each region or between different regions to regulate voltage of buses and increase the security of the power network. The elements of control are considered as nodes of a graph and reactive power will be transferred through edges of this graph. This gives capability of transfer of reactive power between regions in case of voltage violations in a special region that cannot be regulated by controllers installed on that region. The control uses decentralized controllers to eliminate voltage violations resulting from load variations and disturbance in the power network. The methodology is applied to the IEEE 118-bus network. The results show and verify the performance of coordinated control scheme to regulate the voltage and to avoid propagation of contingency between regions.
