Hi,


I have a network with hundreds of busbars (ranging from 33kV to 6.6kV). I have some electrical loads connected at the far end of the network via 2-winding transformers and I am analysing the voltage drops at the point of load connections.

Some of these busbars experience around 10% voltage drops (0.90 pu) therefore I want to add tap changers on my transformers (I am using IPSA simulation tool). There are some settings I need to change as follows:

Basic tap data:
Setting (%) = Current tap position
Minimum (%) = Minimum tap position
Maximum (%) = Maximum tap position
Step (%) = Tap change increment

Which of these should I vary to improve voltage profiles? Also what are the ideal values I should set for the above data?

Thanks.
