dc.description.abstract
Dispersed small distributed generation (DG) systems in low-voltage (LV) grids pose diverse challenges for
successful grid operation. The main one is to guarantee power quality by ensuring that voltages along all the feeders in
the network are within the permissible bounds. In addition, voltage regulation by means of reactive power control can
be used to achieve side benefits such as power loss minimization. The contribution of this paper is to analyze optimal
control settings for solar inverters in such a way that reactive power control keeps local voltages within the statutory
limits while overall losses are minimized. The expected output of a simulated realistic case study is a set of simple but
practical control design guidelines for future LV grids deployment. © 2016 IEEE.
