Abstract

With the rapid development and widespread integration of renewable energy into the grid, fast and precise voltage control in the system has increasingly become a critical issue for power grid companies. Currently, the automatic voltage control strategies used by dispatching organizations do not include MCR+ devices. The existing AVC control strategies for the power grid do not include the new type of MCR+ devices. This study primarily explores the application of MCR+ (Magnetic-Controlled Reactor) technology in reactive power management and voltage control in regional grids. By thoroughly analyzing the grid structure and operational characteristics of new energy convergence areas, this paper establishes a 330kV regional automatic voltage control model incorporating MCR+ as a novel reactive power compensation device. The focus of the research is on optimizing reactive power distribution and enhancing voltage stability using MCR+ technology. Simulation methods were used to verify the performance of MCR+ under various load and generation conditions, demonstrating its potential in improving the grid's dynamic response and stability. The results indicate that MCR+ technology can effectively balance reactive loads and reduce voltage fluctuations, especially in scenarios with high penetration of renewable energy sources. This study provides a new perspective and technological means for reactive power management and voltage control in regional grids, offering important references for achieving more efficient and reliable grid operation.
