RETRACTED: Priority Algorithm Based Coordinated Voltage Control for Distribution System with Distributed Wind Generators

Different voltage control strategies have been found effective in managing voltage rise issues in the presence of DGs, power factor control (PFC), OLTC control, active power Generation curtailment, and also reactive power compensation. This paper investigates the coordination of control methods to mitigate the voltage rise problem in a distribution system connected with distributed Wind generators (WDGs). Priority algorithm for voltage control methods are proposed by considering the forecasted wind generation and typical time varying load profiles. The DigSilent power factory simulation software is used for the implementation and the results were found satisfactory to keep the system voltage within its allowable limits. (C) 2015 The Authors.
