  • A Decentralized Voltage Regulation Scheme Using Improved Volt-Var Function of PV Smart Inverter

    Shanghong Xie, Akihisa Kaneko, Yasuhiro Hayashi

    IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering   19 ( 8 ) 1300 - 1310  2024.08

    　View Summary

    With the growing distributed PV installation rate in distribution systems, voltage regulation difficulties such as local voltage violations and fluctuations have become common. To solve the voltage regulation problems, the local voltage regulation method using volt-var (VV) function is effective for its high regulation speed, high accuracy, and flexibility. However, there are still hurdles on real application, such as parameter setting difficulties, insufficient voltage fluctuation mitigation effect, and unfairness of reactive power generation between PV customers. To further improve the VV function, this paper proposes a PID closed-loop based VV function and mode-switching function of PV smart inverter (SI). To validate the proposed methods, numerical simulations were conducted using a 6-feeder distribution system model based on the JST-CREST 126 distribution feeder model. According to the simulation result, the proposed method can better mitigate the local voltage violation compared to basic VV function based on the VV curve, also improve the fairness between PV customers, while the total reactive power generation and tap operations increases for the aim of more adequate voltage regulation. © 2024 The Authors.

    　View Summary

    This paper proposes a control method for step voltage regulators (SVRs) to avoid voltage violations in distribution systems with unbalanced voltages due to photovoltaic (PV) generation and electric vehicle (EV) charging. Distribution system operators must effectively address voltage problems resulting from the widespread installation of distributed energy resources under the optimizing the utilization of existing voltage regulators to establish an efficient and rational infrastructure. Therefore, this study focused on advancements in voltage control using SVR based on line-drop compensator (LDC) control, which is widely used in actual operations. We propose a method that utilizes voltage data from information technology switches to detect and address voltage unbalances in the control section, allowing for the sequential adjustment of the monitoring target in LDC control to maintain appropriate voltage limits under unbalanced conditions. We conducted power flow calculations using a distribution system model that represents an actual distribution system in the Hokuriku area. The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated in terms of its impact on PV and EV hosting capacity, as well as the frequency of tap operations. © 2023 The Authors.

    Tatsuki Okuno, Akihisa Kaneko, Yu Fujimoto, Yasuhiro Hayashi, Masaaki Ishimaru, Minoru Doi

    IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering    2024

    　View Summary

    In this paper, a method for determining line drop compensator (LDC) parameters for step voltage regulators and on-load tap changers is proposed to avoid voltage violations in distribution systems with voltage fluctuations due to photovoltaic (PV) generation and electric vehicle (EV) charging. Distribution system operators need to effectively solve voltage problems caused by the widespread installation of distributed energy resources with the existing voltage regulators to construct an efficient and rational infrastructure. Our focus was on improving the method for determining the LDC parameters for the existing voltage regulators based on LDC control. A mechanism to dynamically change the LDC parameters depending on the situations in the distribution system was developed by using a mixture of experts, one of the machine learning techniques, and real-time voltage and power flow information from information technology switches. The power flow calculations were performed using a distribution system model constructed based on the topology, loads, and generation characteristics of an actual distribution system in the Hokuriku region. The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated in terms of its improved effect on PV and EV hosting capacity, as well as the impact on the frequency of tap operations of voltage regulators. © 2024 The Author(s).

  • Challenges in Smartizing Operational Management of Functionally-Smart Inverters for Distributed Energy Resources: A Review on Machine Learning Aspects

    Yu Fujimoto, Akihisa Kaneko, Yutaka Iino, Hideo Ishii, Yasuhiro Hayashi

    Energies   16 ( 3 ) 1330 - 1330  2023.01

    　View Summary

    The widespread introduction of functionally-smart inverters will be an indispensable factor for the large-scale penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) via the power system. On the other hand, further smartization based on the data-centric operation of smart inverters (S-INVs) is required to cost-effectively achieve the same level of power system operational performance as before under circumstances where the spatio-temporal behavior of power flow is becoming significantly complex due to the penetration of DERs. This review provides an overview of current ambitious efforts toward smartization of operational management of DER inverters, clarifies the expected contribution of machine learning technology to the smart operation of DER inverters, and attempts to identify the issues currently open and areas where research is expected to be promoted in the future.

    Sota Miyazaki, Akihisa Kaneko, Yasuhiro Hayashi, Shunsuke Kawano, Masayuki Kagita, Keishi Matsuda, Nobuhiko Itaya

    2023 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia, ISGT Asia 2023    2023

    　View Summary

    Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as photovoltaics (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS) are effective for improving the target renewable energy (RE) rate in a region. Furthermore, it is expected that distribution system operators (DSOs) will promote their installation in the future. However, it is not enough for DSOs to simply install large-capacity PV and BESS. They need to determine these capacities by taking into account the cost reduction of equipment and the constraints on grid operation. In this paper, we propose a DER installation capacity optimization method based on linear programming using annual data and a layout method from the operator's perspective. This method determines the capacity of DERs based on the target RE utilization rate in a controlled area of a distribution system. Furthermore, we report the results of an analysis of power flow when the DER is introduced. Moreover, we estimate the actual required capacity of DERs for a real 2-feeder distribution system model. In addition, power flow calculations are performed for a typical day where that amount of DERs were installed. The results were evaluated in terms of grid voltage, thermal capacity of line, and distribution losses, and the necessary controls were discussed.

  • Grid Congestion Management using Grouping of Renewable Energies based on Sensitivity Analysis and Grid Congestion Amount of Transmission Lines

    Yujiro Tanno, Akihisa Kaneko, Yasuhiro Hayashi, Yuki Itoda, Wataru Wayama, Choei Takahashi

    2023 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia, ISGT Asia 2023    2023

    　View Summary

    This study proposes an output curtailment method for determining the output curtailment of renewable energy sources (REs) to mitigate grid congestion in transmission systems with a significant influx of REs. To manage congestion, minimizing the total REs output curtailment while avoiding the concentrated output curtailment on a specific RE is crucial. As a means of identifying effective curtailment targets for congestion mitigation, sensitivity analysis is being used for quantifying the congestion mitigation effect with curtailment. Furthermore, equality in output curtailment can be ensured by grouping REs of similar sensitivity and uniformly curtailing each group. Minimizing the curtailment of REs under the grouping-based approach requires forming a group of REs that is sensitive to frequently congested lines, considering the tendency of congestion occurrence in the whole grid. Consequently, this study proposes a method for determining the output curtailment rate of REs using grouping based on weighted sensitivity, considering the sensitivity of each RE and grid congestion. The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated by numerical simulation of congestion management over one year on a grid in the northern area of the Tohoku region in Japan. The results indicated that the proposed method was superior in terms of total REs curtailment and equality compared to the comparison method that does not consider the grid congestion amount.

    　View Summary

    Voltage violations in distribution systems (DS) with large photovoltaic (PV) installations must be cleared. To regulate the voltage, Chubu Electric Power Grid has implemented a grid control system (GCS) that aggregates measurement information from switches with sensors, smart meters, step voltage regulators (SVRs), and on-load tap changers (OLTCs) to determine their control parameters. The GCS is characterized by its function to separate measured currents into load and PV currents for the consideration of measured power flow conditions with and without PV generation. Based on the results of numerical simulations using a real grid model, we evaluated the effect of separating functions on increasing the PV hosting capacity in this study.

  • Evaluation of Impact on Voltage Regulation by Management of Electric Vehicle Charging in Japanese Actual Distribution Network Model

    Tatsuki Okuno, Akihisa Kaneko, Yasuhiro Hayashi, Ishimaru Masaaki, Minoru Doi

    Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference, APPEEC    2023

    　View Summary

    In this study, we comprehensively evaluated the impacts of popularizing electric vehicles (EVs) and the time shift of EV charging on voltage regulation in distribution systems. Although the popularization of photovoltaics (PVs) and EVs is required to realize a sustainable society, the generation from PVs and the charging demand of EVs may cause voltage violations in distribution systems. To combat these challenges, distribution system operators (DSOs) must upgrade the facilities and management of distribution systems. To verify the strategies for future operations, DSOs evaluate the impact of distributed energy resources (DERs) installation and the effectiveness of the countermeasure candidates on voltage regulations. Therefore, this study assesses the impacts of EV popularization on voltage regulation using an actual distribution system model in the Hokuriku area of Japan. In the numerical simulation, EV and PV popularization levels are set from 0 % to 100 % in 20 % increments. Additionally, the effectiveness of the time shift of EV charging as a countermeasure for voltage regulations is evaluated. To validate the effectiveness, ratios of time-shift EVs are set to 20 % and 50 %. The results reveal the effectiveness and limitation of the time shift of EV charging.

  • Mitigation of Grid Congestion by Curtailment of Thermal Generators and Renewable Energies Based on Sensitivity Analysis

    Yujiro Tanno, Akihisa Kaneko, Yasuhiro Hayashi, Yuichi Tobita, Kazuhito Sasaki

    IEEJ TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING   17 ( 10 ) 1441 - 1451  2022.10

    　View Summary

    Grid congestion is expected owing to the interconnection of massive renewable energies within the transmission system. Power system operators need to resolve the problem by controlling the output of thermal and renewable generators, such as curtailment, which should be the smallest possible for efficient utilization. Moreover, the equality of generation opportunities should be maintained among renewable energies. However, achieving the two objectives simultaneously is challenging, because the output curtailment effect on grid congestion in a loop system varies depending on its configuration. Further, the thermal generators are curtailed before renewable energies in the merit order scheme necessitating adjustments in the thermal generator output considering the renewable energy curtailment. This study proposed a method to determine the output curtailment ratio of thermal power and renewable energies employing sensitivity analysis, aiming to ensure equality, and maximize the power generation opportunities of renewable energies for the mitigation of grid congestion. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified via numerical simulations using a power system model based on an actual power system in the northern Tohoku area of Japan. The results indicate that the proposed method can reduce the total amount of curtailment and improve the equality of generation opportunities. (c) 2022 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

  • Scheduling of pumped-storage hydro generator operation in balancing group with wind farms

    Akihisa Kaneko, Maiko Inagaki, Yu Fujimoto, Yasuhiro Hayashi, Shunsuke Nonaka

    IEEJ Transactions on Power and Energy   141 ( 2 ) 79 - 87  2021.02

    　View Summary

    To utilize renewable energy systems (RES) as main generators in power system, power system operators need to maintain reserve power to compensate the uncertain output of RES, such as wind farms (WF). This paper focuses on the balancing group (BG) composed of WF and a pumped-storage hydro generator (PSHG). In the BG operation, power system operators need to schedule the operation of PSHG to minimize the imbalance risk caused by the prediction error of WF output while considering the system specific constraints of PSHG, e.g. the mechanical constraint on pump-up/down switching. This paper proposes a method to schedule the PSHG operation using the interval prediction results of the WF output for alleviating the imbalance risk the proposed scheduling scheme is formulated based on the linear programming. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the amount of imbalance and the net generation of the BG were evaluated based on numerical experiments under two types of situations with different characteristics in WF output. The experimental results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • Operation of voltage reactive power control devices based on cooperation between two-voltage class transmission network with pv systems to reduce power loss

    Akihisa Kaneko, Shinya Yoshizawa, Yasuhiro Hayashi, Shuhei Sugimura, Yoshinobu Ueda, Takayuki Tanabe

    IEEJ Transactions on Power and Energy   140 ( 6 ) 484 - 494  2020

    　View Summary

    Transmission system operators (TSO) are responsible to manage the power quality within a proper range and to reduce power loss. Voltage reactive power control (VQC) is mainly utilized to manage the power flow. In the conventional VQC scheme, the static condenser (SC) and shunt reactor (ShR) is generally adjusted based on the target value determined for the heavy load condition in each voltage class. On the other hand, the installation of the massive photovoltaic (PV) systems into transmission systems cause the complex power flow such as the short-term fluctuation of power flow and reverse power flow from the lower transmission system to the upper transmission system. Thus, in the future power system with PV systems, the target values of the VQC devices need to be updated in the short-time period considering the interaction between the upper and lower transmission system to manage the power quality and to the reduce power loss efficiently. This paper proposes the optimization methodology for VQC devices in two-voltage class of transmission system using tabu-search and optimal power flow based on the central VQC methodology. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, the numerical simulation was performed based on the revised IEEJ EAST 30-machine system model.

    International Journal of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications   9 ( 2 ) 80 - 87  2020

    　View Summary

    This paper proposes a method to determine the Line Drop Compensator (LDC)-control parameters of an On-load Tap Changer (OLTC) and step voltage regulator (SVR) using a database with measured data from offline IT-switches. In a conventional determination method, the parameters are calculated based on the relationship between the sending voltage and the absolute value of current at the secondary side of the OLTC/SVR with a fixed power factor. However, the power factor changes with the interconnection of the photovoltaic (PV) system. Hence, in the proposed method, LDC-control parameters are determined by the relationship between active current, reactive current, and sending voltage. In other words, the parameters are determined from the plane by taking these values as axes. The plane is determined by four measured data extracted from the database which have large voltage fluctuations in response to severe power flow. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical simulations using a distribution system model with PV systems. Our results show that the proposed method can improve the amount of voltage violation by 35% compared to a conventional method.

  • Evaluation of an Optimal Radial-Loop Configuration for a Distribution Network With PV Systems to Minimize Power Loss

    Akihisa Kaneko, Yasuhiro Hayashi, Takaya Anegawa, Hideyasu Hokazono, Yukiyasu Kuwashita

    IEEE ACCESS   8   220408 - 220421  2020

    　View Summary

    This paper proposes a method to determine an optimal radial-loop configuration to minimize power loss in a distribution network with photovoltaic (PV) systems and evaluates the effectiveness of this configuration. Due to the disaggregation of transmission and distribution in a deregulated power system, stable and efficient operations in terms of voltage regulation and power loss reduction utilizing existing equipment is becoming more important for distribution system operators (DSOs). Japanese DSOs operate distribution networks in a radial configuration while supplying power to customers with high reliability. One method to reduce further power loss is to upgrade the network topology to a radial-loop configuration, which achieves partial loop structures by closing the tie-switches of the radial configuration. To implement a radial-loop configuration, DSOs must first evaluate the reliability, as a loop configuration can cause a feeder circuit breaker (FCB) malfunction and an expansion of the nonsupplied area during fault conditions. However, the impact of a radial-loop configuration on reliability and effectiveness has not been verified. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to determine an optimal radial-loop configuration that minimizes active power loss and maintains high reliability. In a numerical simulation, the reliability of radial-loop configurations is verified, and the effectiveness of the configuration is analyzed in terms of active power loss and voltage regulation under several PV system penetration conditions. A 6.6 kV distribution network consisting of 6 feeders and 11 tie-switches is modeled based on an existing Japanese distribution network and used for numerical simulation.

  • Proposal and evaluation of determination method for multiobjective output dispatch of frequency control generators to compensate for renewable energy system fluctuation in multiarea system operation

    Akihisa Kaneko, Yasuhiro Hayashi, Shunsuke Nonaka

    ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IN JAPAN   205 ( 1 ) 3 - 16  2018.10

    　View Summary

    Recently, a multiarea system operation utilized a tie-line has been verified to resolve a shortage of a control capacity of frequency control generators output due to a widespread penetration of renewable energy systems (RES). In order to determine the proper dispatch of the generators output to compensate RES fluctuation in the multiarea system operation, the power system operators should consider power flow constrains and indexes of power system conditions such as the speed of dispatch, the balance of reserved control capacity in each area, and the stability of power supply. In this paper, we propose a methodology to determine multiobjective dispatch candidates of frequency control generators output to compensate RES fluctuation in multiarea system operation considering three indexes, a speed of dispatch, a reserved control capacity, and a transient stability based on optimal power flow and multiobjective particle swarm optimization. The methods determine the dispatch based on Euclidean norm of the indexes in the calculated candidates in order to consider all indexes well-balanced. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is verified by a numerical simulation used IEEJ EAST 30-Machine Grid Model with much RES, and the effectiveness of the dispatch minimized Euclidean norm is confirmed by comparison to single-objective solution in each index among the calculated candidates.

    IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid   9 ( 5 ) 3994 - 4003  2018.09

    　View Summary

    In this paper, we propose a comprehensive scheme to determine a suitable method and timing for upgrading the voltage control method. Voltage control methods are expected to be upgraded in accordance with the photovoltaic (PV) penetration in distribution systems. The suitable method and timing detailed in this paper are based on the limit of the PV penetration rate, which is constrained by the regulated voltage deviation. The upgrade process involves moving the on-load tap changer (OLTC) control method from the conventional scalar line drop compensator (LDC) method to the vector LDC method or centralized control method. Then, a static var compensator (SVC) or step voltage regulator (SVR) is installed. The locations of the SVR and SVC are determined to maximize the PV penetration rate. The suitable method and timing are demonstrated using a general distribution system. In addition to the numerical simulations, experiments are performed using an active network system with energy resources. The experimental results are consistent with the numerical simulation results, thus validating the proposed scheme. The maximum PV penetration rate obtained using the OLTC control method is 55%. Whereas, the installation of the SVR and SVC increased the rate to 95% and 100%, respectively.

    2023 IEEE Belgrade PowerTech, PowerTech 2023    2023

    　View Summary

    The short-term frequency stability of power systems has decreased with the replacement of synchronous generators (SGs) with inverter-based resources. Grid-forming inverters (GFMIs), developed to maintain power system stability, are also effective for frequency stability. Virtual synchronous generators (VSGs) and droop controls (Droops) are major algorithms of GFMIs. VSGs are considered to outperform Droops in terms of frequency stability because of the existence of the inertia emulation block in the active power controller. However, few studies have identified the quantitative effect of the inertia emulation block of GFMIs on frequency stability. This study analyzes the effect by deriving the relationship between the inertial response and the frequency based on the swing equation of SGs. The method of the analysis is verified by the simulation by the PSCAD/EMTDC. As indicated in this study, after a disturbance, the inertia emulation block immediately increases the load share of the VSG and decreases that of the SG, resulting in improved frequency stability. Moreover, it is implied that the Droop, i.e., the GFMI without inertia emulation block, can improve frequency stability as the VSG by increasing the droop gain, although the Droop requires larger energy provision from the direct-current side than the VSG. This study clarifies the better performance of the VSG in frequency stability by quantifying short-term load sharing among GFMIs and SGs that are significantly related to the short-term frequency stability.

    　View Summary

    This paper proposes a distribution network operation scheme referred to as the zero emission grid (ZEG) in which all demand is met by renewable energy to reduce the environmental burden. In addition, we propose and evaluate a method for planning and controlling distributed energy resources (DERs) under this scheme. To meet the entire demand with renewable energy, it is necessary to install photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS), and to control them appropriately to satisfy the grid operation constraints such as voltage and thermal line capacity. Therefore, we propose a PV capacity determination method to achieve ZEG and a BESS charging/discharging method to satisfy the grid constraints under the PV installation of the calculated capacity. Furthermore, we performed numerical simulation using a two-distribution-line model with the calculated capacity of PV to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed DER management method. The results demonstrated that the proposed method could satisfy the power flow constraints and utilize the BESS efficiently.

    　View Summary

    With the recent introduction of renewable energy sources, the shortage of the transmission line capacity (i.e., grid congestion) in Japan is a major concern. To maximize the output of wind turbines (WTs), the installation area is determined by considering the grid congestion frequency and wind conditions when installing new WTs. However, determining the appropriate area may be challenging for some power producers in terms of the limitation of accessible information and construction of an evaluation platform as detailed information on the power system and power flow calculations is required. Therefore, this study assumes that the system operator shares the information of acceptable additional generation in each area without grid congestion based on past actual power flow data. Furthermore, using this information, a simple evaluation method is proposed for power generators to evaluate the frequency of grid congestion after the introduction of new WTs. To verify the usefulness of the proposed method, numerical experiments are conducted for several scenarios introducing WTs in a simplified power system model of the northern area of the Tohoku region. The results indicate that the proposed method can accurately estimate the frequency of grid congestion in the evaluation scenarios.

  • BALANCING GROUP OPERATION FOR WIND POWER PLANTS AND A PUMPED-STORAGE HYDRO GENERATOR TO MAXIMIZE EXPECTED REVENUE IN CONSIDERATION OF WIND POWER OUTPUT UNCERTAINTY

    Maiko Inagaki, Akihisa Kaneko, Yu Fujimoto, Yasuhiro Hayashi, Shinichiro Minotsu

    IET Conference Proceedings   2022 ( 23 ) 650 - 655  2022

    　View Summary

    The amount of power generated by wind farms (WFs) varies depending on the wind conditions, and its use as the main power source within a power system is thus uncertain. This study proposes a balancing group (BG) scheme that combines the power from WFs with an existing variable-speed pumped-storage hydro generator (PSHG), which possesses a large capacity that can compensate for the variability in WF output. To maximize revenue, power suppliers need to schedule and operate the BG by considering the uncertainty in WF output and the PSHG's operational constraints. In the proposed method, probability density predictions (PDPs) are used to estimate WF uncertainty, and the BG output is scheduled to maximize the expected revenue. The PSHG water-level transition is managed within an operational limit using WF output scenarios derived from PDP results and historical WF output trends. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme was assessed based on revenue for three weeks with characteristic wind conditions, and the results of numerical simulations conducted using several operational schemes were compared using real-world WF output data. The results indicate that higher revenues can be achieved using the proposed operational scheme, thus validating the usefulness of the proposed method.

    　View Summary

    In distribution networks, grid operators need to prevent voltage violations when photovoltaic generation increases. As a countermeasure, they apply sophisticated updating of the control parameters of on-load tap changers (OLTCs). Furthermore, to upgrade the grid operation, the measurement granularity of smart meters has been altered from 30-minute increments to shorter times. However, in terms of data communication load reduction, only a few smart meters need changes. In this study, we evaluate the effect of smart meter data with short measurement granularity on the voltage control performance of an OLTC. As a method of programming consumers to acquire data every 5 min, we selected the consumers measuring the high or low voltage among the past measured database. The numerical simulations showed that voltage violations occurred with control parameters using 30minute measurement data. However, this could completely be avoided by using 5-minute data.

    　View Summary

    This study evaluates the operational potential of pumped-storage hydro generators (PSHGs) as a regulating power source for the stable use of wind power generation. In recent years, the concept of a balancing group (BG), consisting of multiple generators, has been considered to alleviate the imbalance, defined as a discrepancy between planned and actual power supply values. Combining unstable power sources, such as wind power with controllable sources such as PSHG, is expected to reduce the imbalance in BG. For the effective utilization of PSHG, power system operators need to determine a schedule of operation considering the uncertainty in the wind farm (WF) output on the preceding day. In this study, the operation scheduling of PSHG, based on the interval prediction results of wind power generation, is discussed and the potential contribution of PSHG operation is assessed from the perspective of the imbalance reduction within this framework. The operational potential is evaluated from the viewpoint of the types of PSHG, that is, fixed-speed and variable-speed PSHGs, by the annual operational simulation using real-world WF output data. The results show that the appropriate operational scheduling of a single variable-speed PSHG can contribute to a reduction in imbalance comparable to the reduction achieved by two fixed-speed PSHGs.

    　View Summary

    Large-scale and regionally intensive introductions of renewable energy sources (RES) requires greater control capacity from frequency control generators (FCGs). To solve this problem, cross-regional operation, which integrates multiple control areas, is widely studied. However, this involves more complicated power flow, due to the wider control area. Thus, a transmission system operator should adjust output of FCGs to compensate for RES fluctuations, considering system indices and power system constraints in various power flow conditions such as day or night. We have proposed a multi-objective optimizing method for FCG dispatches to compensate for RES fluctuations in one case in the daytime. A simulation was needed, under various load and RES output conditions, to evaluate the validity of the method. In this study, a simulation is conducted, using a power system model base on the power system of East Japan under seven power flow conditions. The results support the validity of the proposed method for determining a dispatch, considering multiple system indices in all cases.

    　View Summary

    Voltage ride-through (VRT) and dynamic voltage support (DVS) are advanced functions of photovoltaic (PV) systems that are expected to improve future power system stability. Toward the improvement in system stability, it is valuable for power system operators (PSOs) to evaluate the effects of these functions. However, it is not straightforward to evaluate the amount of volt-ampere reactive (var) injection from PV systems because var injection depends on weather conditions and on the terminal voltages of the PV systems during voltage sag. In addition, it is equally important to analyze var support from distribution systems (DSs) to accurately determine the amount of var injection in a power system since numerous PV systems are connected to DSs. In this study, we evaluate the var support at a substation of a DS with PV during a voltage sag under various weather conditions. The var injection was analyzed for several time zones and seasons to consider a change in solar radiation. A numerical simulation was conducted based on IEEE 13 Node Test Feeder Model with PV systems. The results indicated that there is a large variation in var support depending on seasons or time zones with different solar irradiance.

    　View Summary

    The popularity of rooftop solar and home-scale batteries brings a fantastic opportunity to homeowners for using energy more flexibly and achieving benefits from trading electricity. This paper narrates a research work of how home energy management systems (HEMSs) maximize profits from buying electricity at a fixed price from utility and selling the surplus energy to an aggregator. Appropriate optimization problems are formulated with technical constraints of household devices and from connection requirements including a volt-watt function installed in the inverter of the rooftop solar-battery system. HEMS responses are optimized in two stages. The first stage is a stochastic program for planning an optimal energy commitment to an aggregator considering forecast errors and the predicted power curtailment. On the day of operation, each HEMS tries to follow the committed energy plan when determining optimal responses in the real-Time condition. Effectiveness of the proposed method is well illustrated through a simulation of a Japanese low-voltage system. Results show that forecast errors and power limitation due to volt-watt functions should be addressed to improve home benefits.

    　View Summary

    In this study, we determine the suitable method and timing for the renewal of the voltage control method using voltage control performance evaluated by the maximum photovoltaic (PV) installation rate possible without voltage deviation. The voltage control method is renewed when the voltage of a distribution system deviates with an existing voltage control method. We determine the most suitable voltage control method, which extends the most PV systems, and define its renewal timing as the moment when the PV installation causes voltage deviation. For the renewal of the voltage control method, changing the control operation of a load ratio control transformer (LRT) and the additional installation of a static VAR compensator (SVC) are considered. A numerical simulation is performed to calculate the limit of PV installation rate of each voltage control method to determine the suitable one and its renewal timing.
