Implications for Voltage Control with Increased Distributed Generation on Interconnected Power Networks

Electrical distribution networks in the UK are likely to experience increasing levels of distributed and renewable generation connections in the near future; emphasised by the 2019 government pledge to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This paper focuses on a specific group of 33/11kV transformers on a meshed network in the UK and aims to model how the introduction of wind and solar farms on the interconnected 11kV distribution network could affect automatic voltage control devices upstream.
