Abstract


The intermittent nature of photovoltaic power causes a voltage control issue. This study will evaluate the effect that the smart inverter capabilities of a photo voltaic (PV) based distributed generator has on voltage regulation. The goal of this work is to better understand how distributed generators work. In high-penetrated PV-based DG in distribution systems, a coordinated voltage control (CVC) technique is suggetsed in this paper. This method makes use of both conventional voltage regulating devices and the coordinated reactive power capabilities of smart inverters to reduce voltage violations brought on by the intermittent nature of photovoltaic energy. The objective of this study is to reduce energy losses while keeping a voltage within reasonable bounds. A discrete jellyfish search algorithm has been presented to attain the best optimization. With the help of the IEEE standard 33 bus distribution network, the suggested solution was assessed. The evaluation's conclusions show that the proposed approach significantly reduces energy usage as well as losses and voltage variation.
