Optimization of Reactive Power Compensation Rate in 20kV Cable Distribution Network

Abstract:

A method based on modeling approach that from points to face and boundary conditioned parameter is put forward in this paper. Starting from the Point Model with statistical characteristics, the characteristic parameters which influence the configuration rate of reactive power compensation (RPC) are adopted as boundary conditions. Expanding from Point Model to Analysis Model, different features of actual 20kV cable distribution feeders can be covered. Then, with the optimization research on RPC of urban cable lines in 20 kV distribution networks, the recommended range of RPC rate in different transformers is worked out, which can be extended to the application of 20 kV urban distribution network. The simulation shows that the proposed method can optimize the reactive power configuration in 20 kV distribution networks without the complicated computation of optimal reactive power planning.
