Impacts of Voltage Control Methods on Distribution Circuit’s Photovoltaic (PV) Integration Limits
The widespread integration of photovoltaic (PV) units may result in a number of operational issues for the utility distribution system. The advances in smart-grid technologies with better communication and control capabilities may help to mitigate these challenges. The objective of this paper is to evaluate multiple voltage control methods and compare their effectiveness in mitigating the impac...
متن کاملExperimental Distribution Circuit Voltage Regulation using DER Power Factor, Volt-Var, and Extremum Seeking Control Methods
With the rapidly increasing number of distributed energy resources (DER) on electric grids worldwide, there is a growing need to have these devices provide grid services and contribute to voltage and frequency regulation. PV inverters and other reactive-power capable DER have the capability to minimize distribution losses and provide voltage regulation with grid-support functions such as volt-v...
متن کاملAn Advanced Hysteresis Controller to Improve Voltage Profile of Power System with PV Units: A Smart Grid Power Exchange Framework
Unlike traditional power grids, smart grids have the advantage of bidirectional power flow and having distributed generations. Distributed generation systems are usually supplied by renewable sources which can cause unpredicted voltage fluctuations as a result of being intermittent. While traditional compensating devices deal with the problem of voltage fluctuation and reduced power quality wit...
متن کاملSmart Inverter Voltage Control on Distribution Feeders
Smart inverters are studied in both the dynamic/transient and steady state in a simulation environment. Using EPRI OpenDSS, five real California feeders are simulated over a 95 day period while the PV penetration and smart inverter fraction are varied. From the simulations, it is shown that smart inverters operating under different Volt/VAr based control schemes improve feeder conditions. The i...
