The dissemination of low-carbon technologies, such as urban photovoltaic distributed generation, imposes new challenges to the operation of distribution grids. Distributed generation may introduce significant net-load asymmetries between feeders in the course of the day, resulting in higher losses. The dynamic reconfiguration of the grid could mitigate daily losses and be used to minimize or defer the need for network reinforcement. Yet, dynamic reconfiguration has to be carried out in near real-time in order to make use of the most updated load and generation forecast, this way maximizing operational benefits. Given the need to quickly find and update reconfiguration decisions, the computational complexity of the underlying optimal scheduling problem is studied in this paper. The problem is formulated and the impact of sub-optimal solutions is illustrated using a real medium-voltage distribution grid operated under a heavy generation scenario. The complexity of the scheduling problem is discussed to conclude that its optimal solution is infeasible in practical terms if relying upon classical computing. Quantum computing is finally proposed as a way to handle this kind of problem in the future.

This study optimized the installation of capacitors on the distribution grid system in Penyabangan feeder, Singaraja, Bali using the Quantum Genetic Algorithm method to reduce the impact of increasing reactive currents. This feeder, consisting of 162 buses in which 62 buses are directly connected to the load and 5 buses are connected to medium voltage cosumers. The results of this study are obtained by the capacity of capacitors installed in 31 buses that have a power factor value less than the permitted limit and the power loss values decrease from 0,0674 MW and 0,0546 MVAr to 0,0543 MW and 0,0442 MVAr.

Dynamic Voltage Compensator (DVR) is able to handle the dynamic power quality problems in distribution network, such as voltage sags and voltage unbalance, and the parameters of the output filter will have important affect on the compensation results. In this paper, the parameter design method of the output filter of a cascaded H-bridge based DVR applied in medium-voltage distribution grid is studied. Through the analysis of the case when filter inductor current has the maximum value, the theoretical expression of the relationship between the low limit of the value of filter inductor and the capability of voltage compensation and power factor is derived. Meanwhile, the method of selecting the filter capacitor value is ​​obtained. The realization of the proposed method are given by taking an engineering project as an example, the correctness and validity of the design method of filter parameters proposed in this paper are verified by simulation.
