To address voltage limit violations caused internally in large-scale photovoltaic (PV) power stations
this paper proposes a distributed non-convex optimization method for system voltage based on an enhanced two-level alternating direction method of multipliers (E-TL-ADMM). First
the method establishes a non-convex voltage optimization model for large-scale PV systems
incorporating nonlinear Distflow power flow constraints. Second
by introducing a nested inner and outer loop structure
the E-TL-ADMM overcomes the limitations of traditional ADMM
such as poor convergence and insufficient accuracy
to achieve superior voltage control results. Validation based on a typical large-scale PV power station case demonstrates that: when solving the system non-convex optimization problem
the E-TL-ADMM significantly outperforms the traditional ADMM in optimality with average error reduction exceeding 0.17%; it also exhibits clear convergence advantages under high-accuracy residual threshold conditions
with optimized voltage results effectively ensuring PV station system voltage safety.
