Voltage and Reactive Power Control in MV Networks integrating MicroGrids

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to describe a strategy to deal with the voltage/reactive power problem for a MV distribution network integrating microgrids. The global problem, concerning all voltage levels, is detailed here and will imply the optimization of operating conditions by using the control capabilities of power electronic interfaces from DG sources, OLTCs and microgrids, through the application of an EPSO optimization algorithm.
