Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A reactive power-voltage control method for integrated transmission and distribution networks is provided. The reactive power-voltage control method includes: establishing a reactive power-voltage control model for a power system consisting of a transmission network and a plurality of distribution networks; performing a second order cone relaxation on a non-convex constraint of the plurality of distribution network constraints to obtain the convex-relaxed reactive power-voltage control model; solving the convex-relaxed reactive power-voltage control model to acquire control variables of the transmission network and control variables of each distribution network; and controlling the transmission network based on the control variables of the transmission network and controlling each distribution network based on the control variables of the distribution network, so as to realize coordinated control of the power system.

First claim
