Patent number: 10581245Abstract: The setting range of the voltage and the reactive power of a power system is maintained during variations of voltage and power flow due to the output variation of renewable energy of a large number of power supplies which fluctuate due to weather. A voltage/reactive power operation assisting device is provided with a first database for storing the data to be evaluated, target value data, individual control device control method data, and individual control device data of an individual control device for adjusting the voltage/reactive power of a power system. A second database stores the device operation data of the individual control device; and the operation of the individual control device is predicted from the data stored in the first database to obtain individual control device operation prediction data. A display unit displays the individual control device operation prediction data and the device operation data in a contrastive manner.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Eisuke Kuroda, Nao Saito, Kouichi Hara, Masahiro Yatsu, Taichiro Kawahara, Shota Omi
