Abstract

A complicated voltage fluctuation in distribution systems and a decline in power quality occur when a large number of photovoltaic (PV) systems are installed. In this paper, the installation of a low-voltage regulator is assumed, and a method for instantly and accurately determining the line drop compensator (LDC) parameters is proposed to perform efficient voltage management, which consists of prediction, operation, and control. In the proposed method, the computational cost to derive the LDC parameters can be reduced by learning the optimality of the parameters in a series of load demands and the PV output using multiple classifiers. We performed numerical simulations to verify the validity of the proposed method. From the results, the classification accuracy is found to improve by considering the majority vote of multiple classifiers. Additionally, the improvement in the voltage control performance is verified.
