Abstract

This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis on reactive power compensation (RPC) using PV in distribution systems, which includes detailed quantification of the costs and benefits of the RPC, as well as centralised and local algorithms to optimise the reactive power dispatch of numerous PVs in the system.

Notes

  1. 1.

    To the best of the author’s knowledge, such reactive power market has not been implemented in the real world. Additionally, although reactive power market models have been proposed by many works in the literature, e.g. [10,11,12,13,14], the topic is still an ongoing research and there has not been a consensus on the best model yet.
