Popis: Steady-state voltage levels will be a significant problem in the future distribution network due to a high penetration of new technologies, particularly photovoltaics. A smart transformer which incorporates a fixed tap transformer with a power electronic voltage regulator has the potential to mitigate this problem by varying the line voltage automatically in response to changes in loading. This study considers various control strategies for the voltage regulator and looks at the potential impact that a smart transformer could have on reducing system voltage violations. These impact studies are performed on a computer model of an entire utility's distribution system in New Zealand.
