Abstract
This paper proposes a control method to regulate
voltages in 3 phase unbalanced electrical distribution systems. A
constrained optimization problem to minimize voltage deviations
and maximize distributed energy resource (DER) active power
output is solved by harmony search algorithm. 91暗网 13 Bus
Distribution Test System was modified to test three different
cases: a) only voltage regulator controlled system b) only DER
controlled system and c) both voltage regulator and DER controlled
system. The simulation results show that systems with
both voltage regulators and DER control provide better voltage
profile.
