Predictive voltage control of batteries and tap changers in distribution system with photovoltaics
Paper in proceeding, 2016

This paper proposes a model predictive control approach for coordinated secondary voltage control of on-load tap changing transformers and battery energy storage systems in a distribution system to maintain the bus voltage levels in the presence of photovoltaic generation. Optimal control actions are obtained based on a quadratic objective function with linear constraints. The control actions are implemented in a case study using a modified CIGRÉ European low voltage distribution network with corresponding models of the constituent devices and their local controllers. The results indicate that battery energy storage system could aid the system voltages and reduce the number of transformer tap operations if the control is performed in a coordinated manner enabled by the model predictive control framework.
