AbstractRecently, the voltage stability and control of distribution networks become challenges due to the large line impedance, load variations and particularly the presence of distributed generation. This paper presents a coordinated voltage control scheme of distribution systems with distributed generation based on on-load tap changer and shunt capacitors. The problem is to determine the optimal operation of voltage regulation devices to minimize a multi-objective function including power losses, voltage deviations and operation stresses while subject to the allowable voltage ranges, line capacity and switching stresses, etc. The problem is formulated and solved by a modified particle swarm optimization algorithm to treat the large-scale and high nonlinearity property. The proposed scheme is applied to a typical 48-bus distribution network in Vietnam. The result of simulation shows that the voltage profile can be improved while the power loss of distribution systems can be reduced significantly.
