Optimal voltage regulation in MV networks
With the increasing penetration of distributed generation and the increasing focus on harvesting the green energy, it’s important to find new solutions to automatically solve voltage problems. The capacity in the MV an LV grid can be optimized by employing transformers online tap-changer.
The project will employ decentralized systems with surveillance, state estimation and online control of the tap-changer in the 60/10kV substation to control voltage issues in the MV-grid.
The developed system must predict the voltage profile across the 10kV grid and control the online tap-changer. Intelligent control of the tap-changer will increase the capacity in the MV-grid and thereby postpone reinvestments caused by the decentralised product introduced in the network. The project is unique by only implementing low-cost equipment and reusing the existing hardware in the grid and substations.
RAH will deliverer smartmeter data and facilitate a real time test in their grid. TUT will develop the algorithm used and test the system in their RTDS lab. MR will give input on how to best commercialise the findings to increase the overall TRL of the project.Key figures
