Voltage Control in Smart Grids: An Approach Based on Sensitivity Theory

Minimization of Losses in Smart Grids Using Coordinated Voltage Control

This article deals with the influence of distributed generation (DG) on distribution line losses with respect to voltage profile. The article focuses on the development of a control strategy to minimize the grid losses and assure fairness regarding reactive power contributions. As retail customers typically have no choice where they are located along a feeder, it seems unfair that only some of ...

Voltage Control Approach in Smart Distribution Network with Renewable Distributed Generation

Voltage control is one of the imperative issues in the smart distribution control system. While traditional distribution network is equipped with communication and monitoring equipment, the online voltage control can be perfectly achieved. With using these smart grid technologies, the distribution voltage control schemes should carry out intelligently and cover the undesirable effect of high pe...

PSO-Based Voltage Control Strategy for Loadability Enhancement in Smart Power Grids

This paper proposes a new voltage control methodology using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique for smart grid loadability enhancement. The goal of this paper is to achieve reliable and efficient voltage profile/stability regulation in power grids. This methodology is based on the decouple power flow equations and the worst-case design technique. Specifically, the secondary voltage ...

An Adaptive Multi Agent-based Approach to Smart Grids Control and Optimization

In this paper, we describe a reinforcement learning-based approach to power management in smart grids. The scenarios we consider are smart grid settings where renewable power sources (e.g. Photovoltaic panels) have unpredictable variations in power output due, for example, to weather or cloud transient effects. Our approach builds on a multi-agent system (MAS)-based infrastructure for the monit...
