Popis: The high penetration of distributed renewable energy and the popularization of electric vehicles has led to voltage quality problems in distribution networks. Voltage problems, such as over-voltage, under-voltage, and voltage fluctuations, are increasingly becoming severe. Voltage regulation services play an essential role in improving the power supply quality of the distribution network. The development of information and communication technologies has promoted the upgrading of remote control technology. Air conditioners (ACs) can be easily remote controlled to change the power consumption for voltage regulation services. This study proposes a voltage control strategy by optimizing the limited regulation capacity of ACs. Firstly, a detailed thermal model is developed to analyze the room temperature and the regulation capacity of the ACs. Secondly, a successive voltage regulation algorithm is proposed to solve the voltage problems of the limited regulation capacity of ACs. In addition, the control strategy is developed to exploit the potential of voltage regulation. The control strategy formulates the participation priority of the ACs according to room temperature, which makes the ACs have a long regulation time and prevent the ACs switching working states in the process of voltage regulation. The case studies show that the proposed coordinated voltage regulation strategy can make node voltage restore to a permissible range and make full use of the limited regulation capacity of ACs for voltage control.
