Using Voltage Phasor Control to Avoid Distribution Network Constraint Violations
In this paper, we introduce Voltage Phasor Control (VPC), also known as Phasor Based Control, as a novel way of implementing Optimal Power Flow (OPF). Unlike conventional OPF, in which the power flow optimization broadcasts power injections, the VPC power flow optimization broadcasts voltage phasor setpoints to feedback controllers distributed throughout the network which respond to disturbances in real time. In this paper, we demonstrate that VPC can actively manage distributed energy resources to avoid voltage magnitude and line flow constraint violations in power distribution networks. We provide sensitivities and bounds that quantify how the distributed voltage phasor feedback control reduces the effect of disturbances on the network voltages and line flows. Using simulations, we compare the performance of VPC with the related but more conventional Voltage Magnitude Control (VMC). The sensitivities, bounds, and simulations provide implementation insights, which we highlight, for how distribution network operators can use VPC and VMC to avoid constraint violations.
