With the deepening of rural revitalization, the diversified development of rural economic industries has led to the rapid growth of energy demand. However, the infrastructure of rural distribution network is relatively weak, and voltage fluctuations are becoming increasingly severe, posing a huge challenge to the safe and stable operation of the distribution network. This paper proposes an active-reactive coordinated voltage regulation strategy for the rural distribution network with large-scale aquaculture, considering voltage regulation ways that include distributed energy generation, energy storage, static var generator, and demand response (DR) of aquaculture load. The proposed approach constructs a DR model for aquaculture equipment based on the energy demand and the operational characteristics. Basically, a voltage regulation optimization model is established with the goal of minimizing voltage fluctuations at distribution network nodes is solved based on the weighted mean of vectors algorithm. Finally, a case study verifies the effectiveness of the proposed voltage regulation strategy, which is of great significance for promoting the development of rural distribution network and economic industries.
