Voltage Control in Low-Voltage Grids Using Distributed Photovoltaic Converters and Centralized Devices

Managing Photovoltaic Generation Effect On Voltage Profile Using Distributed Algorithm

In this paper, a distributed method for reactive power management in a distribution system has been presented. The proposed method focuses on the voltage rise where the distribution systems are equipped with a considerable number of photovoltaic units. This paper proposes the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMMs) approach for solving the optimal voltage control problem in a distri...

Voltage and Frequency Droop Control in Low Voltage Grids by Distributed Generators with Inverter Front-end

In recent years, an ongoing increase of grid-connected distributed and renewable electricity generation technologies is clearly noticeable. From an environmental perspective, the increase of renewable technologies is highly desirable, as they do not emit greenhouse gasses and thus not contribute to climate change. Nevertheless, their increase poses increasing challenges on the reliable operatio...
