The objective of this project is the design of a voltage regulator for low voltage networks, using an auto-transformer with different windings. First, equipment specifications, control and electrical connections will be designed. Then, the control system for voltage regulation will be coded and implementen in a commercial PLC. Finally, a set of reception tests will be carried, off load and with differetn loading.

Research topics:
• *Steady-state: load flows, analysis of power system constraints, optimal load flows, voltage control ancilliary service,short-circuits, protections in transmission and ditribution networks
• *Smart grids
