abstract = "The paper discusses reactive power-voltage (Q-V) control in a multi-machine steam power plant (SPP). After briefly introducing some of the basic characteristics of synchronous generator's voltage control through automatic voltage regulators, the practices of widely applied manual voltage references setting for Q-V control in SPP is illustrated through several examples of SPP response recorded at site. Further the case studies were developed with the emphasis on the drawbacks of manual intra-plant Q-V control by building a mathematical model of realistic SPP in Matlab-Simulink. Relying on noticed drawbacks the paper highlights the requirements for enhancing SPP reactive power response and voltage support to the power system by coordinated Q-V control at power plant level. Finally, the paper illustrates the achieved performances of coordinated Q-V controller in real SPP.",
