Data-Driven Optimization Framework for Voltage Regulation in Distribution Systems

This letter proposes a data-driven optimization framework for voltage regulation problems to address the challenge of model inaccuracy and parameter varying. To achieve online voltage optimization, the recursive kernel regression and interior point methods are integrated. The IEEE 123-Bus system and EPRI Ckt5 feeder are selected to validate the effectiveness of the proposed data-driven optimization framework. The proposed method is also compared with a linear function based method.
