Educational Effect of 3D Animations for Intuitive Understanding of Distribution System Voltage Control by Demand Side Facilities

Future power grid engineers need to understand the potential issues arising in distribution systems with the large-scale penetration of PV and EV and grasp the new concept of voltage control using demand side facilities. In this research, we developed "DERMS-3D Simulator" which allows for easy implementation of load variations and reactive power control for demand side facilities. This simulator intuitively displays the relationship between load variations and voltage fluctuations, as well as the effects of reactive power control through 3D visualization.
