A Computational Algorithm for Real-Time Control of System Voltage and Reactive Power Part I - Problem Formulation

A new and efficient control scheme is proposed for the real-time control of system voltage and reactive power control and the conventional computational algorithms are reviewed from the point of view of on-line centralized control on a real-time basis. A simplified linear model describing the voltage and reactive power control characteristics is given which is conveniently constructed for the purpose of minimizing the transmission losses under the constraint of the voltage settling condition.
