Title
Distributed CVR in Unbalanced Distribution Systems with PV Penetration
Abstract
In this paper, a distributed multi-objective optimization model is proposed to coordinate the fast-dispatch of photovoltaic (PV) inverters with the slow-dispatch of on-load tap changer (OLTC) and capacitor banks (CBs) for implementing CVR in unbalanced three-phase distribution systems. In existing studies, PV inverters and voltage regulation devices are generally dispatched by fully centralized control frameworks. However, centralized optimization methods are subject to single point of failure and suffer large computational burden. To tackle these challenges, a distributed dispatch method is developed to coordinate PV inverters and conventional voltage regulation devices in distribution systems. The proposed method is based on a modified alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm to handle non-convex optimization problems without relaxing the original formulation, which could lead to sub-optimality. Numerical results from simulations on modified IEEE 13-bus, 34-bus and 123-bus unbalanced three-phase systems have been used to verify the proposed method.
