Abstract—Nowadays power system has the characters of high-voltage level, large capacity generator units and long distance transmission, etc. The development of Automatic Voltage Control (AVC) system is pretty important in the construction of the power system; regional Automatic Voltage Control (AVC) system is also a major mean to control voltage of the regional power grid. This paper illustrates the main parts of the AVC, the working principle and the characteristics of the running system. The current status of the regional AVC is also analyzed. Moreover, the paper summarizes several typical control modes. Finally, it illustrates the significance of the applications of regional AVC on the power system construction via comparing the voltage regulation conditions of the particular areas before and after the application of regional AVC.
