This paper discusses the hardware implementation of distributed control strategies that could be used to enable the utilization of distributed energy resources for the provision of grid support services. Although the capacity of individual resources may be small, the large number of them present in many distribution networks suggests that under proper coordination and control, the collective capacity of the resources could provide useful system-level ancillary services. The software necessary to implement the control strategies is discussed and experimental results are presented. © 2011 IEEE.

A two-stage distributed architecture for voltage control in power distribution systems
Robbins, B. A.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Domínguez-Garcia, A. D. (2013)In this paper, we propose an architecture for voltage regulation in distribution networks that relies on controlling reactive power injections provided by distributed energy resources (DERs). A local controller on each bus ...

Cady, S. T.; Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2015)In this paper, we propose a distributed architecture for generation control in islanded ac microgrids with both synchronous generators and inverter-interfaced power supplies. Although they are smaller and have lower ratings, ...
