Importance of detailed modeling of loads/PV systems connected to secondary of distribution transformers

“…In [16] the authors analyzed the voltage rise problem caused by distributed energy resources. The authors in [17] investigated the performance of fixed power factor and volt-var controllers while encountering fast irradiance fluctuations.…”

Multi‐mode adaptive local reactive power control method based on PV inverters in low voltage distribution networks

“…The Q(V)‐based local controllers described in most literature, like [13–15], are usually characterised by identical slope factors even at different nodes. Though this will largely simplify the reactive power control, only the issues (a) and (b) can be mitigated by these strategies.…”

State space modeling of inverter based microgrids considering distributed secondary voltage control

“…icrogrids (MGs) are a smaller scale of power systems that integrate high penetration of renewable energies and energy storage systems (ESSs) into the grid [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Power electronic converters are used as the interface between renewable energies such as solar power, wind power and fuel cells and the grid [7][8][9].…”
