Automatic voltage control heightens system efficiency and power quality by automatically monitoring and controlling

 busbars, transformers, and tertiary reactors. On a power distribution system experiencing varying loading conditions, this

sophisticated substation automation application can effectively maintain a steady transformer secondary voltage (LV) within preset limits.

This highly intelligent tap change control mechanism regulates LV voltage by:  Automatically balancing load across connected transformers

  Continuously monitoring busbar and tertiary reactor connections  Dynamically reacting to changes in switching

arrangements

  Providing line drop voltage compensation due to load

current

  Predicting the effect of a LV transformer tap on the

voltage level

This voltage regulation scheme is flexible and scalable toaccommodate a range of transmission and distribution

system topographies – up to 16 transformers across four 

 busbars. The automatic voltage control (AVC) software

operates on a D200 substation control system, typicallylocated in the substation control building. The D200 polls

distributed input/output panels (or GE D25 multifunction

IEDs) located at designated transformer on-load tapchangers for status information. The AVC application

computes a regulated transformer output voltage based on

the transformers’ current measured voltage and loadingconditions.It then issues controls to the distributed panels to raise or 

lower the transformers’ tap positions as necessary to

obtain a voltage that is closest to the programmed

voltage targets.

Ideal in unmanned substations, the AVC scheme runs independently to provide safe parallel operation of transformers.

The AVC application recognizes all switchgear connected to reactors, busbars and transformers. It polls the switchgear connected to the secondary windings to select logical groups for the transformers. Transformer groups are controlled

through monitoring the voltage and MVARs associated with each transformer. The available tapping methods

(voltage control, tap stagger and tap patterning) depends on the number of transformers in the group.

Fault and alarm details, site information, transformer and switchgear displays are available to the system operator through a local user interface and/or the remote master station.
