| Summary: | A high proportion of photovoltaic (PV) connections to a low-voltage distribution network (LVDN) causes serious voltage problems. In order to ensure voltage stability for renewable energy networks, we propose a distributed reactive voltage control strategy that is event-triggered. The voltage information of the PV nodes is transmitted to the upper layer of the communication network, where the agent calculates the output set value of the PV inverter. The underlying control strategy is based on the voltage sensitivity matrix, and the upper-level control strategy is based on an event-triggered consensus protocol. This strategy can accommodate the requirements for multi-time modeling and control. We verified the convergence of the event-triggered control algorithm using numerical analysis and proved the reduction of the communication times. We conducted case studies and simulation experiments to verify the effectiveness of our proposed voltage control strategies. |
