AB - Variable over voltage, excessive tap counts andvoltage regulator (VR) runaway condition are major operationalchallenges in distribution network while accommodating generationfrom Photovoltaics (PVs). The conventional approach toachieve voltage control based on off-line simulation for voltage setpoint calculation does not consider forecast errors. In this work,a stochastic optimal voltage control strategy is proposed whileconsidering load and irradiance forecast errors. Stochastic operationalrisks such as overvoltage and VR runaway are definedthrough a chance constrained optimization (CCO) problem. Thisclassical formulation to mitigate runaway is further improvedby introducing a stochastic index called the Tap Tail Expectation.Operational objectives such as power losses and excessive tapcount minimization are considered in the formulation. A samplingapproach is proposed to solve the CCO. Along with other voltagecontrol devices, the PV inverter voltage support features arecoordinated. The simulation study is performed using a realisticdistribution system model and practically measured irradianceto demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.The proposed approach is a useful operational procedure fordistribution system operators. The approach can minimize feederpower losses, avoid voltage violations and alleviate VR runaway.
