Abstract

A voltage control apparatus includes: a voltage value obtainment unit configured to obtain voltage values at the one or more voltage measuring points; an impedance obtainment unit configured to obtain a system impedance from a distribution substation to each of power adjustment apparatuses; a control variable calculating unit configured to calculate a control variable including at least one of (i) a value corresponding to an allowable upper limit of a voltage value at the first voltage measuring point and (ii) a value corresponding to an allowable lower limit of the voltage value at the first voltage measuring point, based on the voltage values at the one or more voltage measuring points and the system impedances; and a notification unit configured to notify the power adjustment apparatuses of the calculated control variable.
