The paper presents a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model for the solution of the three-phase volt/var optimization (VVO) of medium voltage unbalanced distribution feeders. The VVO of a distribution feeder is aimed at calculating the most efficient operating conditions by means of the scheduling of transformers equipped with an on-load tap changer and distributed reactive power resources (such as embedded generators and switchable capacitors banks). The proposed model allows the representation of feeders composed by three-phase, two-phase, and single-phase lines, by transformers with different winding connections, by unbalanced wye- and delta-connected loads, by three-phase and single phase capacitor banks and embedded generators. The accuracy of the results is verified by using IEEE test feeders.

Abstract

The paper presents a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model for the solution of the three-phase volt/var optimization (VVO) of medium voltage unbalanced distribution feeders. The VVO of a distribution feeder is aimed at calculating the most efficient operating conditions by means of the scheduling of transformers equipped with an on-load tap changer and distributed reactive power resources (such as embedded generators and switchable capacitors banks). The proposed model allows the representation of feeders composed by three-phase, two-phase, and single-phase lines, by transformers with different winding connections, by unbalanced wye- and delta-connected loads, by three-phase and single phase capacitor banks and embedded generators. The accuracy of the results is verified by using IEEE test feeders.
