Branch Flow Model: Relaxations and Convexification—Part II
Masoud Farivar,Steven H. Low +1 more
TL;DR: It is proved that convexification requires phase shifters only outside a spanning tree of the network and their placement depends only on network topology, not on power flows, generation, loads, or operating constraints.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optimal inverter VAR control in distribution systems with high PV penetration
TL;DR: This paper will illustrate how, depending on the circuit topology and its loading condition, the inverter's optimal reactive power injection is not necessarily monotone with respect to their real power output.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Inverter VAR control for distribution systems with renewables
TL;DR: A simple convex relaxation is proposed and it is proved that it is exact provided over-satisfaction of load is allowed and therefore Volt/VAR control over radial networks is efficiently solvable.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Equilibrium and dynamics of local voltage control in distribution systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a class of local volt/var control schemes where the control decision on the reactive power at a bus depends only on the local bus voltage and show that the dynamical system has a unique equilibrium by interpreting the dynamics as a distributed algorithm for solving a certain convex optimization problem whose unique optimal point is the system equilibrium.
Equilibrium and Dynamics of Local Voltage Control in Distribution
TL;DR: A class of local volt/var control schemes where the control decision on the reactive power at a bus depends only on the local bus voltage is considered, showing that the dynamical system has a unique equilibrium by interpreting the dynamics as a distributed algorithm for solving a certain convex optimization problem.
