Description
Summary:Large-scale integration of renewable generation has changed the way that distribution networks are operated, posing significant challenges to voltage control. To address this challenge, system operators need to exploit the potential of inverter-based renewable generation for reactive power regulation. However, the distribution network parameters are usually inaccurate or incomplete, making conventional centralized or model-dependent distributed control methods difficult for fast voltage tracking and optimal reactive power distribution. This paper proposes a model-free distributed Newton method for voltage control based on data-driven lift-dimension linear power flow which does not reply on accurate and complete network parameters. By using matrix splitting to calculate Hessian matrix, the proposed method possesses a super-linear convergence and exhibits superiority in fast response over existing linear methods. Furthermore, a Koopman-based state space mapping method is proposed to obtain global sensitivity and tune the iteration direction in an off-line manner, which can realize model-free voltage control. The convergence and optimality of the proposed method are validated by case studies. Especially, the parameter independence feature of the model-free scheme provides decided superiority in scenarios of incomplete model. Even under communication failures, the proposed method still can maintain voltage stability at a suboptimal point.
