Abstract

High-penetration photovoltaic (PV) integration into a distribution network can cause serious voltage overruns. This study proposes a voltage hierarchical control method based on active and reactive power coordination to enhance the regional voltage autonomy of an active distribution network and improve the sustainability of new energy consumption. First, considering the reactive power margin and spatiotemporal characteristics of distributed photovoltaics, a reactive voltage modularity function is proposed to divide a distribution grid into voltage regions. Voltage region types and their weak points are then defined, and the voltage characteristics and governance needs of different regions are obtained through photovoltaic voltage regulation. Subsequently, a dual-layer optimal configuration model of energy storage that accounts for regional voltage regulation is established. The upper-layer model focuses on planned configurations to minimize the annual comprehensive operating cost of the energy storage system (ESS), while the lower-layer model focuses on optimal dispatch to achieve the best regional voltage quality. KKT conditions and the Big-M method are employed to convert the dual-layer model into a single-layer linear model for optimization and solution. Finally, an IEEE 33-node system with high-penetration photovoltaics is modeled using MATLAB (2022a). A comparative analysis of four scenarios shows that the comprehensive cost of an ESS decreased by 8.49%, total revenue increased by 19.36%, and the overall voltage deviation in the distribution network was reduced to 0.217%.
