Abstract
This paper considers the problem of voltage regulation in distribution
network. The primary motivation is to keep voltages within
pre-assigned operating limits by commanding the reactive power output
of distributed energy resources (DERs) deployed in the grid. We
develop a framework for developing local Volt/Var control that
comprises of two main steps. In the first, exploiting historical data
and for each DER, we learn a function representing desirable
equilibrium points for the power network. These points approximate
solutions of an Optimal Power Flow problem. In the second, we propose
a control scheme for steering the network towards these favorable
configurations. Theoretical conditions are derived to formally
guarantee the stability of the developed control scheme and numerical
simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
