Voltage and Reactive Power Regulation in Distribution Networks by the Means of Distributed Renewable Energy Sources

Abstract

The problems of mode regulation of distribution networks in Ukraine are investigated in this paper. Authors propose to regulate the modes of distribution networks by the means of convertors of renewable energy sources (solar power plants etc.) connected to this networks according to the Smart Grid concept. The analysis of multicriteria mode optimization results of the distribution network was performed and the most perspective criterion were selected according to the features of structure and functioning of distribution networks in Ukraine. The target function of multicriteria optimization by the criteria of minimization of reactive power on the main section of the line and minimization of standard voltage deviations from the nominal value is formalized by the authors. To calculate the optimal value for the target function, the Multivariable extremum seeking control method was chosen, this method was improved by adding additional filters of individual frequency channels. An example of calculations is given in the paper; it illustrates the efficiency of the proposed method of modes regulating of the distribution networks. References 24, figures 3, tables 2.

Perspectives of nuclear energy development in Ukraine on the global trends basis

“…Functioning of nuclear fuel cycle facilities are considered in publications [1,2,4,[15][16][17][18], issue of developing mathematical and software tools for assessing the impact t of energy facilities on the environment is considered in works [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Specifics implementing of alternative and renewable energy sources are described in publications [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. Advanced training of specialists in nuclear energy is discussed in publications [41][42][43][44].…”

Features of Creation of the Smart Monitoring Systems for Microgrids

“…Незважаючи на те, що локальні Microgrid системи пропонують цілий ряд переваг, їх впровадження пов'язане з багатьма проблемами. Ці виклики можна структурувати наступним чином: двонаправлений потік електроенергії; проблеми з якістю електроенергії; низька інерційність; ізольований режим роботи; скоординоване керування декількома джерелами розосередженої генерації (РГ); накопичення енергії; економічна та надійна робота; технологічні виклики та кібербезпека; регуляторні бар'єри [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].…”
