Increase of photovoltaics (PV) penetration and concentration of electric vehicle (EV) charging may cause voltage violation in distribution lines. One measure for voltage violation in distribution lines is reactive power control. In this research, to reduce additional installation cost of reactive power control equipment, reactive power control by use of power factor correction converters in consumer loads was proposed. In this paper, voltage control ability of the proposed method was evaluated from the point of additional increase of PV generation and EV charging. Distribution voltage distortion caused by harmonic currents from consumer loads to which the proposed method were applied was also evaluated from the point of maximum reactive power output from loads within allowable voltage distortion level.

用用户负载中的功率因数校正转换器评估无功功率控制的谐波电流效应和配电线电压控制能力

光伏（PV）渗透率的增加和电动汽车（EV）充电的集中可能会导致配电线路中的电压违规。配电线路中违反电压的一种措施是无功功率控制。在这项研究中，为了减少无功功率控制设备的额外安装成本，提出了在用户负载中使用功率因数校正转换器进行无功功率控制的方法。本文从光伏发电和电动汽车充电的额外增加的角度评估了该方法的电压控制能力。还从允许的电压失真水平之内的负载最大无功功率输出的角度评估了应用了该方法的用户负载谐波电流引起的配电电压失真。
