The Existing power system networks were designed at a time when there was virtually no embedded generation, and hence the design accommodated the voltage drop expected due to the load, and impedances of the conductors used. As solar PV generation started to grow, the rise in voltage due to ohms Law, started to push network voltages towards, and even above, the desired upper limits. Voltage limits are based on typical appliance requirements and long-term over-voltages will ultimately result in unacceptably short appliance life spans. performance of low voltage networks can be improved by Distribution Static Compensators (dSTATCOMs) using reactive power injection. This paper investigated the application of low voltage STATCOMs at optimal locations for the management of distribution system voltages. This paper presents a case study on the application of an optimization tool to four Energy Queensland (Energex) distribution feeders. They are modelled in Open Distribution System Simulator (OpenDSS). The optimization algorithm is coded in MATLAB which calls upon OpenDSS model to run load flow in each iteration. These feeders are tested on five different scenarios such as highest loading conditions and highest generations to demonstrate the effectiveness of the optimization tool in placing the dSTATCOM in the optimum location.
