Abstract

This paper deals with voltage control of distribution networks with high representation of photovoltaic power sources. To simulate this, modified IEEE 123-bus radial power system has been equipped with time-dependent loads and generations from PV power plants to include various loading and voltage scenarios of the system. For voltage control, operations of load tap-changing transformers (LTCs) connected to both HV and MV voltage levels have been simulated using traditional Gauss-Seidel method. Multiple load flow calculations along with voltage control algorithms for LTCs were performed in Matlab environment.
