Automatic voltage control(AVC) is the highest form of current power grid voltage and reactive power control,during the implementation of AVC, the whole network reactive power optimization isthe core and foundation. Thispaper researches and discuses the application of reactive power optimization inpower grid AVC. In the traditional reactive power optimization, the reactivepower limits of synchronous generators are fixed. In this paper, thesynchronous generator PQ operating limits change with external conditions,thus establishes reactive power optimization model in accordance with therequirements of AVC. Thispaper presents reactive power optimization method based on the principle ofpartition. The method decomposes the system to several partitions. Eachpartition separately optimized, thus reduces the system scale.And the convergence of the algorithm, the calculation speed and the discretevariable processing etc. improve. At the same time, this method reflects theclassification, hierarchical, partition, characteristics of coordinated controlof AVC.
