A Self-contained Voltage Control Method for Distribution Line Feeders

Abstract

This paper proposes a self-contained voltage control method for distribution line feeders. The proposed system consists of two types of agent: feeder agent (F_AG) and bus agent (B_AG). The F_AG plays as an important role, which decides the power factors of all distributed generators by executing the load flow calculations repeatedly. The voltage control strategies are implemented as the class definition of Java into the system. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, it has been applied to a distribution model system. The simulation results show that the system is able to control very violent fluctuation of the demands and the photovoltaic generations (PVs).
