Abstract :
This paper discusses changing requirements for tap changer controllers in distribution grids with high penetration of renewable generation. Furthermore, a new tap changer controller approach based on a power flow dependent voltage set point curve using hysteresis is introduced. This novel concept is simulated and compared to conventional as well as alternative tap changer controller algorithms by power system simulation.
