Simulation of Influence of Generator Leading Phase Operation on Voltage and Loss of Gansu Power Grid

Generator leading phase operation can not only absorb excess reactive power under small load operation mode, but also smoothly regulate grid voltage to cope with abrupt changes in grid operation. Based on the summer small load typical operation mode of Gansu Power Grid, four calculation conditions are selected to calculate power flow, and the influence of generator leading phase operation on grid voltage and loss is simulated and analyzed. The simulation results show that no matter how the active power output distribution of generators changes in the power grid, the voltage level of the power grid under small load can be significantly improved by generator leading phase operation. However, the grid loss will increase when the generator is in leading phase operation. (paper)
