a b s t r a c tThe paper presents a network partitioning strategy for the optimal voltage control of Active Distribution Networks (ADNs) actuated by means of a limited number of Distributed Energy Storage Systems (DESSs). The proposed partitioning uses a linear programming approach by means of the known concept of voltage sensitivities. Then, two decentralized optimal control algorithms are proposed relying, respectively, on the Thévenin equivalents and a recursive approach. These algorithms are developed using the MultiAgent System (MAS) concept. With respect to a centralized control algorithm, the aim of the network clustering is to reduce the number of exchanged messages among the clusters when one of the two proposed decentralized control algorithms is adopted. The effectiveness of the two proposed controls is assessed with respect to the performances of the equivalent centralized control using numerical examples composed by the IEEE 13 and IEEE 123 buses distribution test feeders adapted to include stochastic generation and DESSs.

Abstract-This paper presents a network partitioning strategy for the optimal voltage control of Active Distribution Networks (ADNs) by means of Dispersed Energy Storage Systems (DESSs). The proposed partitioning is based on the concept of voltage sensitivity coefficients and is adopted for a decentralized voltagecontrol strategy specifically developed for radial ADNs. The aim of the partitioning is to decompose the network into quasiautonomous areas and to limit the information exchange only at the interfacing nodes between adjacent areas. The information exchange relies on Thévenin equivalents to represent the external grids of each cluster/area. The effectiveness of the proposed decentralized control approach is assessed with respect to an equivalent centralized control approach. Such an assessment is carried out using a numerical example referring to IEEE 123 buses distribution test feeder suitably adapted to include stochastic generation and DESSs.

“…A further problem arises when renewable energy takes the form of Distributed Generation (DG). In the case when renewables output is high and the demand for energy is low in a particular area, reverse power flow and line overvoltages may arise, giving Power Quality problems for the distribution network [6,7]. Here again EVs may assist, since their charging time may be arranged to occur when there is a surplus of DG.…”

-The increased deployment of low carbon technologies in power distribution networks, particularly at the distribution level, is expected to cause significant problems to network operation unless existing networks are appropriately adapted and actively controlled as part of a smart grid. This paper describes the development of a modelling tool to examine Smart Grid solutions to a number of issues affecting low voltage power distribution networks. Use of the tool in the context of transformer overload, line overvoltage, active load control, Grid storage and Black Start analysis is examined.
