Abstract
A two-level voltage controller for very large-scale power system is being developed at Washington State University (WSU). The goal of this controller is to maintain an optimal voltage in the transmission network. To achieve this goal, the controller is designed to control the switching of the reactive power control devices such as, transformer tap changing, capacity bank and reactor bank switching. The design of the controller is carried out in two levels: the local substation controls and a central coordinator. At the local substation level, the controller uses mostly PMU measurements to control and maintain the local bus voltage. At the central level, the central coordinator is responsible for providing the voltage set point to the substation and also coordinating the local substation by enabling and disabling the local controller. This thesis will focus on testing of local substation voltage controller developed in previous research at WSU.
