Abstract :
[en] Non-negligible amounts of Distributed Generating Units (DGUs) are already connected to power systems, predominantly to medium- and low-voltage networks. The interaction between distribution and transmission systems is gaining the attention of system operators. Given the high controlability of DGUs, the active distribution networks can potentially support the transmission system during emergency situations. Previously proposed voltage emergency controls involving distribution network assets focused on preserving the transmission system integrity, even if it implies affecting the distribution system operation (intrusive schemes). More attention needs to be devoted to supporting transmission voltages, while preserving the distribution network operation (non-intrusive schemes). This paper introduces a new adaptive and non-intrusive voltage emergency control scheme based on the synchronization of DGUs and the load tap changer of the corresponding distribution transformer. The conclusions are derived from time-domain simulations using an extended version of the IEEE Nordic test system for voltage stability assessment.
