Resumen

Operating distribution grids is increasingly challenging due to the increasing penetration ofphotovoltaic systems. To address these challenges, modern photovoltaic inverters includefeatures for local control, which sometimes lead to suboptimal results. Improved commu-nication infrastructure and photovoltaic inverters favour global control strategies, whichreceive information from all the systems in the grid. An estimation of distribution algo-rithm is used to optimize a global control strategy that minimizes active power curtailmentand use of reactive power of the photovoltaic inverters, while maintaining voltage stabil-ity. Optimized global control outperforms every other local control evaluated in terms ofapparent energy used for control (9.9% less usage compared to the second best alternativein all scenarios studied) and ranks second in terms of voltage stability (with a 0.14% oftotal time outside the voltage limits). Two new indicators to compare control strategies areproposed, and optimized global control strategy ranks best for both efficiency index (0.98)and average apparent power use (0.48 kVA).
