Abstract
- Volt/var control (VVC) is one of the primary functions of the distribution management system aiming at optimum operation of power distribution networks while respecting all of their operational and security constraints. However, the recent huge integration of highly stochastic distributed generation (DG) sources with the grid presents a significant challenge to the traditional VVC schemes, which assume the future to be perfectly known. This paper presents a two-stage chance constrained optimization scheme to handle these nodal power uncertainties and guarantees that the operational and security constraints are respected for almost all realizations of the uncertainty. The chance constrained model is solved by collecting enough randomly chosen samples from the probability spaces of the uncertain parameters so that the class of the problem, a mixed integer second-order cone program, is not elevated. The algorithm not only dispatches the optimum schedule for discrete controlling devices like transformers and shunt capacitors but also optimizes the predefined decision rules for reactive power control of DG sources, thus falling in line with the requirement laid down in the revised IEEE 1547 Standard. Numerical simulations on three different test systems show the superiority of the proposed algorithm over the traditional deterministic methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
