This paper proposes a decentralized controller to coordinate the reactive power injections of PV generators in order to contribute to the voltage regulation in distribution networks. The control actions are evaluated in the real time by adopting an optimization methodology involving the sensitivity applied to the Lyapunov function. By this approach it is possible to derive an auto-adaptive algorithm that can be implemented on actual distribution network without implying additional costs for infrastructures. Computer simulations have been performed on a MV distribution system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme at different operating conditions and to confirm its ability to work in the real time.

Abstract

This paper proposes a decentralized controller to coordinate the reactive power injections of PV generators in order to contribute to the voltage regulation in distribution networks. The control actions are evaluated in the real time by adopting an optimization methodology involving the sensitivity applied to the Lyapunov function. By this approach it is possible to derive an auto-adaptive algorithm that can be implemented on actual distribution network without implying additional costs for infrastructures. Computer simulations have been performed on a MV distribution system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme at different operating conditions and to confirm its ability to work in the real time.
