Resumo: | Smart inverter functionalities can enable higher penetration levels of inverter-based distributed energy resources. The smart inverter voltage-reactive power (Volt-VAr) control function adjusts the injection and/or absorption of reactive power as a function of the voltage at the connection point through the control curve set-points. In this work, an optimization problem is formulated to increase the photovoltaic capacity in distribution systems by determining the best Volt-VAr control curve set-points of the photovoltaic inverter.A simulation-based optimization framework is proposed, which uses the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm in the optimization stage, while power flows are executed in the simulation stage through OpenDSS. The performance assessment is performed under a real-world distribution feeder of an Ecuadorian electric utility. The proposed method found both the maximum installed capacity of a photovoltaic power plant and the best Volt-VAr control settings for a set of candidate locations. Results showed the most suitable feeder location for the installation of a single photovoltaic power plant. Besides, the Volt-VAr control curve settings determined by the optimization method increased the maximum installed capacity by 45.21% compared to the case when the photovoltaic inverter operates with a unity power factor. |

Smart inverter functionalities can enable higher penetration levels of inverter-based distributed energy resources. The smart inverter voltage-reactive power (Volt-VAr) control function adjusts the injection and/or absorption of reactive power as a function of the voltage at the connection point through the control curve set-points. In this work, an optimization problem is formulated to increase the photovoltaic capacity in distribution systems by determining the best Volt-VAr control curve set-points of the photovoltaic inverter.A simulation-based optimization framework is proposed, which uses the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm in the optimization stage, while power flows are executed in the simulation stage through OpenDSS. The performance assessment is performed under a real-world distribution feeder of an Ecuadorian electric utility. The proposed method found both the maximum installed capacity of a photovoltaic power plant and the best Volt-VAr control settings for a set of candidate locations. Results showed the most suitable feeder location for the installation of a single photovoltaic power plant. Besides, the Volt-VAr control curve settings determined by the optimization method increased the maximum installed capacity by 45.21% compared to the case when the photovoltaic inverter operates with a unity power factor. |
