Volt-VA control using multi-port converters for voltage management in low voltage feeders

MSc thesis of Reinier Prins

The increase in quantity and electrification of energy in residential areas pushes the existing distribution network to its limits. A hierarchical control structure is developed to prevent voltage violations in distribution networks using multi-port converters. The multi-port converters combine the usually separate converters of EV, PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) to a single entity. The control structure is capable of preventing and correcting voltage violations in the distribution network in advance and in real-time. Compared to the literature advancements have been made by combining active power control and reactive power control.
