Voltage regulation for active distribution network: A generalized Nash game approach based on locational marginal price

To mitigate the advents effects of distributed generations' integration on the operation of distribution network and allow for the benefit of multi participants, a voltage regulation method for the active distribution network was proposed. Based on the cost/benefit model of each participant and nodal power market, the method was modeled as a generalized Nash game. Then the game was converted to a norm problem. And the existence of the Nash equilibrium was proved. A practitioner method was also proposed to solve the problem. The simulation was carried out in modified IEEE-33 Bus system with 3 DGs and 3 MGs participating the voltage regulation market. Simulation results show the effectiveness of our method to realize the voltage regulation while taking each participant' benefit into consideration.
