Voltage regulation for active distribution network: A generalized Nash game approach

To mitigate the adverse effects of DGs' integration on the operation of distribution network and allow for the multi agent nature, a voltage regulation method for the active distribution network was proposed. Based on the model of each player and nodal power market, the method was modeled as a generalized Nash game. The game was converted to a bi-level optimization problem, where the active distribution network acted as the leader. Then the existence of the Nash equilibrium was proved. A practitioner method was also proposed to solve the problem. Simulation results show the effectiveness of our method to realize the voltage regulation while take each participant's benefit into consideration.
