To mitigate the low frequency problem in a transmission system in an event of a power station failure or during low renewable generation production, UK National Grid (NG) Electricity System Operator has balancing mechanism in place with generators to provide temporary extra power, or with large energy users to reduce load demand or so call fast reserve services. This paper presents an alternative method to aggregately control the existing distribution network primary on load transformer tap changers as a voltage-led customer load active service. The main benefits of the proposed method are (i) to unlock the distribution network load demand flexibility without causing any negative impact on customers, and (ii) to provide the lowest cost of fast reserve service from a distribution network to transmission network. In this paper an optimal control strategy based on genetic algorithm is proposed and developed to achieve an optimized voltage-led customer load active service with the aim of finding the optimal dispatch of on load transformer tap changers by minimizing each transformer tap switching operation as well as network losses. Two practical 102 buses and 222 buses UK distribution networks have been modelled and used to demonstrate and compare the effectiveness of the proposed control methods under different operating conditions. The performances of the proposed method are also compared with both the rule-based and the branch-and-bound methods. The results show that the proposed optimal control strategy based on the genetic algorithm is more effective by achieving more accuracy and a faster solution for a large distribution network than other two methods. These are important findings as the fast reserve service by transmission network requires the accuracy of the load demand reduction delivery within 2 minutes. |
