VOLTAGE CONTROL IN THE PRESENCE OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION

Abstract


Large volume of distributed power generators (DGs) including renewable distributed generation will be introduced in a distribution network in the near future. Voltage is an important parameter for the control of electrical power systems. The distribution network operators have the responsibility to regulate the voltage supplied to consumer within statutory limits. This paper presents a technique using Static Var Compensator (SVC) for voltage control in a distribution system in the presence of DGs. In order to avoid maximum permitted voltage when DG power is high, SVC was placed in the network alongside the DGs; the result presented shows a voltage profile, power quality improvement and distribution loss reduction.
