The Application and Practice of the Voltage Reactive Power Optimization Automatic Control System (AVC)in the Power Grid of Wuhu Region

Abstract

In the paper, the influence of harmonic was taken into consideration during the realization of the AVC system in the power grid of Wuhu region, relevant study and development were conducted from the perspective of application and practice, and concrete proposal of practicable reactive voltage power optimization was put forward. The system adopted two-layer control plan: whole-network coordination layer and execution layer within transformer substation. Optimization algorithm adopted the reactive power optimization method with relaxed constraints so as to improve the convergence and computation speed of reactive power optimization. To control the impact of harmonic, a hybrid active power filter scheme which was made up of passive power filter and active power filter was adopted, thus improving the cost performance of the AVC system. The result of applying the AVC system in the power grid of Wuhu region shows that the system is stable and reliable, obviously decreasing the operation times of equipment and improving the voltage qualified rate and power factor of panel point.
