Abstract
The state of the electrical distribution network, that was equipped with the transformer automatic OLTC device, was simulated. The voltage regulation law of the transformer was determined to ensure permissible voltage levels on the buses of transformer stations (TS) of the electrical distribution network when the load of consumers changes during the day. The impact of the value of the deadband factor of the automatic voltage regulator on the number of tap changes of the OLTC of the transformer and the voltage on the TS buses was analyzed. Ref. 9, Fig. 4, Table 3.
