The rapid expansion of distributed energy resources in the German low voltage network has led to voltage violations, especially in rural areas with little electric load. To address this issue, this paper presents an innovative line voltage regulator for low voltage networks which operates with a magnetic controlled inductor. Therefore, a software environment for simulating magnetic based regulators and a hardware test bench for line voltage regulators are developed. Results of the simulations and the laboratory tests of the first prototype device are provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
