This article proposes a voltage regulation scheme for
distributed energy resource-connected distribution networks based
on static synchronous compensator to compensate for both shortterm
and long-term voltage sags. The proposed voltage regulation
scheme provides a fast and precise control on the nodal voltage,
with no need to load shedding, capacitor switching, transformers,
or power management schemes. The principles supporting the
proposed voltage regulation scheme are discussed and the
effectiveness of the proposed control is demonstrated through
time-domain simulation of a two-unit test distribution network in
the PSCAD/EMTDC software environment.
