Elimination of the Impact Produced by DG Units on the Voltage Profile of Distribution Networks by Saad Ouali, Abdeljabbar Cherkaoui

“…In this paper, an alternative strategy for real-time control of active distribution network voltage is developed, not by controlling the bus voltage as in the various centralized, decentralized, and local approaches presented in literature but rather by only eliminating the impact produced by active and reactive power of distributed generation (DG) units on the voltage of all network nodes and keeping the traditional voltage control systems dealing with the same constraints of passive systems. …”
