Abstract

This paper presents preliminary results of the investigations related to the prospective application of a hierarchical coordinated voltage control to parts of the Brazilian EHV network. The paper focuses on the secondary voltage control (SVC) hierarchical level, with emphasis on voltage control by power plants and synchronous condensers. The study system analyzed is the Rio de Janeiro (Rio) Area, which is an energy importing area. Results refer to a heavy load condition, typical of a hot summer day.
