Controle local de potência reativa em geradores fotovoltaicos para a melhoria da regulação de tensão em redes de distribuição
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-03-31) SOUZA, Vanderson Carvalho de; VIEIRA, João Paulo Abreu; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8188999223769913
This dissertation addresses the major operational problems faced by distribution network operators due to the high integration of photovoltaic (PV) generators, such as overvoltages, excessive tap counts and voltage regulator runaway condition. The overvoltage problem in distribution networks may be caused by significant active power injection from PV generation. Additionally, the rapid and significant variations in PV generator active power associated with cloud transients result in an increase of voltage regulator tap counts, adversely affecting the useful life of that device. Also, when the direction of the power flow is reversed due to PV generator active power injection, the voltage regulator can fail to control voltage at the regulated bus and reach lowest or highest tap limit (runaway condition). This dissertation proposes a local reactive power control for PV inverters to alleviate such problems. The proposed control is evaluated using measurement data from the real rooftop PV system in the city of Belém and dynamic simulations on a single MV feeder with a PV solar plant.

Impacto técnico e econômico da integração de uma geração distribuída de alta capacidade em um sistema de distribuição com reguladores de tensão em cascata
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-11-14) COSTA, Marcelo Sousa; VIEIRA, João Paulo Abreu; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8188999223769913
This dissertation analyzes the technical and economical impact of the integration of a high capacity distributed generation (DG) in a distribution system composed of two feeders, both with two cascaded step voltage regulators (SVRs). Distribution networks with the presence of high capacity DG may subject SVR to reverse active power flow scenarios, which, depending on the control modes “Active Bidirectional Flow up to Opposite Limit” and “Reverse Flow by Cogeneration”, result in abnormal situations that lead the SVR to lose its regulating capacity. As a consequence, consumers may be subjected to severe undervoltage or overvoltage. This phenomenon, in which the SVR loses its ability to control the desired bus voltage, is known in technical literature as the reverse power tap changer runaway condition. In addition, high capacity GDs, depending on their location in the distribution system, can cause critical overvoltages. Some actions can be taken to reduce or mitigate this effect, such as distribution system reconfiguration, adjusting the SVR setpoint, and modifying DG control mode. The economic assessment was accomplished for all studied operating scenarios, highlighting technical and financial impacts on the utility and customers.
