Abstract
This study is intended to show the future voltage control strategy designed in the framework of the ELECTRA Integrated Research Programme (IRP) project for the web-of-cells (WoC) concept. This scheme, called post-primary voltage control, aims to keep the node voltages at any time within the bands defined by the regulations and to minimise the power losses in the system by calculating the optimal voltage set-points for the different nodes. The reactive power will mainly be used to restore the voltages but also active power could be delivered in some cells depending on their voltage levels. Different operating modes of the voltage control will be discussed taking both planning and the real-time operation phases into account. The application of the voltage control strategy to one test grid considered as representative of the WoC structure will also be shown in this study.
