Deterioration of voltage conditions is one of the frequent consequences of connecting an increasing number of photovoltaic sources to the low-voltage (LV) power grid. Under adverse conditions, i.e. low energy consumption and high insolation, microgeneration can cause voltage surges that violate acceptable limits. Research shows that the increase in voltage is the main limitation for connecting new energy microsources to the LV network and forces the reconstruction of the network. An alternative to costly modernizations can be the implementation of appropriate strategies for controlling network operation to maintain the voltage at the required level. The article presents an overview of the methods and concepts of voltage control in a low-voltage network developed so far to mitigate the undesirable phenomenon of voltage boosting. The focus was mainly on local methods - not requiring communication infrastructure - as best suited to the conditions of Polish distribution networks. Gathering the results of many tests and simulations carried out in different conditions and on different models allowed for the formulation of general conclusions and can be a starting point for further research on acontrol method that can be widely used in the national power system.

Jedną z częstych konsekwencji przyłączania do sieci elektroenergetycznej niskiego napięcia (nn) coraz większej liczby źródeł fotowoltaicznych jest pogorszenie warunków napięciowych. W niesprzyjających warunkach – przy niskim poborze energii i wysokim nasłonecznieniu – mikrogeneracja może powodować podskoki napięcia przekraczające dopuszczalne granice. Badania pokazują, że wzrost napięcia stanowi podstawowe ograniczenie dla przyłączania nowych mikroźródełenergii do sieci nn i wymusza przebudowę sieci. Alternatywą dla kosztownych modernizacji może być wdrożenie odpowiednich strategii sterowania pracą sieci pozwalających utrzymać napięcie na wymaganym poziomie. W artykule zaprezentowano przegląd opracowanych dotychczas metod i koncepcji regulacji napięcia w sieci nn mających na celu opanowanie niepożądanego zjawiska podbicia napięcia. Skupiono się głównie na metodach lokalnych – nie wymagających do prawidłowego działania infrastruktury komunikacyjnej –jako najlepiej przystosowanych do warunków polskich sieci dystrybucyjnych. Zebranie wyników badań i symulacji, przeprowadzonych przy różnychzałożeniach i na różnych modelach, pozwoliło na sformułowanie ogólnych wniosków i może stanowić punkt wyjścia do dalszych badań nad metodą sterowania mogącą znaleźć szerokie zastosowanie w krajowym systemie elektroenergetycznym.
