This paper discusses the use of centralized control method in an Intelligent Energy Management System (iEMS) to prevent voltage violation after load transfer between distribution feeders with high PV penetration level. The proposed method comprises three control modes with different control algorithms for regulating both reactive and active power output of PV inverters in a distribution system with multiple PV installations. Before the execution of load transfer, the total reactive power compensation required at the critical Point of Common Coupling (PCC) is solved by the reactance of distribution feeder line segment to prevent system voltage violation. With the proposed control algorithms, the iEMS dispatches total reactive power compensation among PV systems according to the reactance of line segment and issues the control command to each PV inverter for adjustment of PV power generation so that the ancillary service of voltage support can be provided by all PV systems in a fairer manner. A practical Cimei island distribution feeder pair is selected for computer simulation to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method after load transfer between two feeders.

Due to line impedance mismatches, nonlinear loads and other reasons, the traditional droop control algorithms have great limitations on the control of reactive power sharing. Distributed control algorithms based on hierarchical structure have become an effective approach for reactive power sharing compared with traditional centralized control methods. In this paper, an event-triggered control algorithm based on stability analysis of Lyapunov method is put forward in order to satisfy the demand of low-bandwidth communication for distributed generator in islanded microgrid. Subsequently, a distributed hierarchical control scheme adopting proposed event-triggered strategy is designed to achieve proportional reactive power sharing in an islanded microgrid. Finally, the feasibility and validity of the proposed algorithm are further verified in MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Nowadays Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) has gradually become one of the representative techniques in the field of dynamic reactive power compensation in the power distribution system. This paper analyzed the topology and the voltage imbalance problem of the up and down capacitors on DC side of the three-phase four-wire STATCOM. In allusion to the imbalance problem of neutral point, a novel control strategy based on the control of zero-sequence current was proposed. By the triple close-loop control strategy, the STATCOM can achieve great control accuracy and dynamic performance. Simulation result proves that the proposed control method is effective.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems have been in use predominantly since the last decade. Inverter fed PV grid topologies are being used prominently to meet power requirements and to insert renewable forms of energy into power grids. At present, coping with growing electricity demands is a major challenge. This paper presents a detailed review of topological advancements in PV-Grid Tied Inverters along with the advantages, disadvantages and main features of each. The different types of inverters used in the literature in this context are presented. Reactive power is one of the ancillary services provided by PV. It is recommended that reactive power from the inverter to grid be injected for reactive power compensation in localized networks. This practice is being implemented in many countries, and researchers have been trying to find an optimal way of injecting reactive power into grids considering grid codes and requirements. Keeping in mind the importance of grid codes and standards, a review of grid integration, the popular configurations available in literature, Synchronization methods and standards is presented, citing the key features of each kind. For successful integration with a grid, coordination between the support devices used for reactive power compensation and their optimal reactive power capacity is important for stability in grid power. Hence, the most important and recommended intelligent algorithms for the optimization and proper coordination are peer reviewed and presented. Thus, an overview of Solar PV energy-fed inverters connected to the grid is presented in this paper, which can serve as a guide for researchers and policymakers.
