This paper presents an efficient generator voltage control method for improvement of voltage-reactive states in transmission networks. This method enables fast and sufficiently accurate definition of generator voltages to realize the favorable voltage-reactive states. In peak load state, this generator voltage control is made to improve the economic operation, e.g. to reduce the active and reactive power losses or to enlarge the reactive reserve of generators. In minimum load state, this voltage control is made to reduce the generator under-excitation states, or to make the favorable redistribution of those under-excitation states. The verification of method proposed is made in context of steady-state and dynamic simulation models, on the examples of realized and perspective states of Serbian transmission network, in own wide environment. .

Inertia reduction due to inverter-based resource (IBR) penetration deteriorates power system stability, which can be addressed using virtual inertia (VI) control. There are two types of implementation methods for VI control: grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM). There is an apparent difference among them for the voltage regulation capability, because the GFM controls IBR to act as a voltage source and GFL controls it to act as a current source. The difference affects the performance of the VI control function, because stable voltage conditions help the inertial response to contribute to system stability. However, GFL can provide the voltage control function with reactive power controllability, and it can be activated simultaneously with the VI control function. This study analyzes the performance of GFL-type VI control with a voltage control function for frequency stability improvement. The results show that the voltage control function decreases the voltage variation caused by the fault, improving the responsivity of the VI function. In addition, it is found that the voltage control is effective in suppressing the power swing among synchronous generators. The clarification of the contribution of the voltage control function to the performance of the VI control is novelty of this paper.
