Distributed active network management strategy including DG and storage systems

Due to the significant growth of distributed generators connected to the distribution networks, these systems might reach their technical limits requiring new investments. Since a large number of such units is interfaced with inverters to the grid, several research works proposing strategies to coordinate DERs in regulation schemes have been presented. In this work, a distributed control strategy is proposed to coordinate the active users with the aim of increasing the system's Hosting Capacity. In particular, the paper presents a scenario in which a multitude of DER with storage capabilities, are connected to the grid and able to provide network services responding to power exchange requests.
