High penetration levels of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation on an electrical distribution circuit may severely degrade power quality due to voltage sags and swells caused by rapidly varying PV generation during cloud transients coupled with the slow response of existing utility compensation and regulation equipment. Although not permitted under current standards for interconnection of distributed generation, fast-reacting, VAR-capable PV inverters may provide the necessary reactive power injection or consumption to maintain voltage regulation under difficult transient conditions. As side benefit, the control of reactive power injection at each PV inverter provides an opportunity and a new tool for distribution utilities to optimize the performance of distribution circuits, e.g. by minimizing thermal losses. We suggest a local control scheme that dispatches reactive power from each PV inverter based on local instantaneous measurements of the real and reactive components of the consumed power and the real power generated by the PVs. Using one adjustable parameter per circuit, we balance the requirements on power quality and desire to minimize thermal losses. Numerical analysis of two exemplary systems, with comparable total PV generation albeit a different spatial distribution, show how to adjust the optimization parameter depending on the goal. Overall, this local scheme shows excellent performance; its capable of guaranteeing acceptable power quality and achieving significant saving in thermal losses in various situations even when the renewable generation in excess of the circuit own load, i.e. feeding power back to the higher-level system.

This paper proposes a fully distributed reactive power optimization algorithm that can obtain the global optimum of non-convex problems for distribution networks without a central coordinator. Second-order cone (SOC) relaxation is used to achieve exa ct convexification. A fully distributed algorithm is then formulated corresponding to the given division of areas based on an alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm, which is greatly simplified by exploiting the structure of active distribution networks (ADNs). The problem is solved for each area with very little interchange of boundary information between neighboring areas. The standard ADMM algorithm is extended using a varying penalty parameter to improve convergence. The validity of the method is demonstrated via numerical simulations on an IEEE 33-node distribution network, a PG&E 69-node distribution system, and an extended 137-node system.
This paper considers a distributed PI-controller for networked dynamical systems. Sufficient conditions for when the controller is able to stabilize a general linear system and eliminate static control errors are presented. The proposed controller is applied to frequency control of power transmission systems. Sufficient stability criteria are derived, and it is shown that the controller parameters can always be chosen so that the frequencies in the closed loop converge to nominal operational frequency. We show that the load sharing property of the generators is maintained, i.e., the input power of the generators is proportional to a controller parameter. The controller is evaluated by simulation on the IEEE 30 bus test network, where its effectiveness is demonstrated.
We consider the problem of distributed secondary frequency regulation in power networks such that stability and an optimal power allocation are attained. This is a problem that has been widely studied in the literature, and two main control schemes h ave been proposed, usually referred to as primal-dual and distributed averaging proportional-integral (DAPI) respectively. However, each has its limitations, with the former requiring knowledge of uncontrollable demand, which can be difficult to obtain in real time, and with the existing literature on the latter being based on static models for generation and demand. We propose a novel control scheme that overcomes these issues by making use of generation measurements in the control policy. In particular, our analysis allows distributed stability and optimality guarantees to be deduced with practical measurement requirements and permits a broad range of linear generation dynamics, that can be of higher order, to be incorporated in the power network. We show how the controller parameters can be selected in a computationally efficient way by solving appropriate linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Furthermore, we demonstrate how the proposed analysis applies to several examples of turbine governor models. The practicality of our analysis is demonstrated with simulations on the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) 140-bus system that verify that our proposed controller achieves convergence to the nominal frequency and an economically optimal power allocation.
This paper deals with suboptimal distributed H2 control by dynamic output feedback for homogeneous linear multi-agent systems. Given a linear multi-agent system, together with an associated H2 cost functional, the objective is to design dynamic outpu t feedback protocols that guarantee the associated cost to be smaller than an a priori given upper bound while synchronizing the controlled network. A design method is provided to compute such protocols. The computation of the two local gains in these protocols involves two Riccati inequalities, each of dimension equal to the dimension of the state space of the agents. The largest and smallest nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of the network graph are also used in the computation of one of the two local gains.A simulation example is provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed protocols.
Magnetic control of reactive scattering is realized in an ultracold mixture of $^{23}$Na atoms and $^{23}$Na$^{6}$Li molecules via Feshbach resonances. In most molecular systems, particles form lossy collision complexes at short range with unity prob ability for chemical reaction or inelastic scattering leading to the so-called universal loss rate. In contrast, Na${+}$NaLi is shown to have ${<}4%$ loss probability at short range when spin polarization suppresses loss. By controlling the phase of the wavefunction via a Feshbach resonance, we modify the loss rate by more than a factor of hundred, from far below the universal limit to far above, demonstrated here for the fist time. The results are explained in analogy with an optical Fabry-Perot interferometer by constructive and destructive interference of reflections at short and long range. Our work demonstrates quantum control of chemistry by magnetic fields with the full dynamic range predicted by our models.
