Regulation of Voltage and Optimization of Power Losses in Active-Adaptive Networks

Despite the advantages of renewable distributed energy, an increase in its volume leads to serious changes in the characteristics of the electrical network. This is especially noticeable in low and medium voltage networks. To date, the main method of voltage regulation in Russia is to maintain specified voltage levels at control points of the distribution network. The existing centralized system for regulating the operating parameters does not ensure the effectiveness of voltage control in networks. An alternative to the traditional method of voltage regulation is an intelligent power system with an actively-adaptive electrical network. The effectiveness of multi-agent regulation is higher than that of traditional methods of voltage regulation in distribution networks, this is due to system adaptability and real-time operation. The introduction of an intelligent adaptive voltage regulation system reduces power losses, improves the quality of supply to consumers, increases the reliability of the system and its level of throughput.
