Abstract:
Due to the intermittent behaviour of the renewable
energy sources, containing the voltage rise issues and maintaining
voltage regulation throughout the microgrids is of paramount
importance. This paper presents a detailed literature survey
on the available voltage control schemes. A unique approach
for classifying and analyzing the voltage control techniques of
active distribution system and/ or microgrid, on the basis of
their time scale, is proposed as short term voltage control and
long term voltage control. Various architectures of their field
implementation as decentralized, centralized and distributed are
reviewed and discussed. Furthermore, the future trends in the
voltage control are also reported.
