Title: Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulations of PV Inverter Distribution Voltage Regulation
Abstract: This presentation will discuss distribution voltage regulation provided with multiple Distributed Energy Resource (DER) control strategies including Volt-Var, Extremum Seeking Control, and State Estimation-Based Optimal Power Factor commands. The DER commands are issued from a commercial software venders Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) to 100 PV microinverters and multiple simulated utility-scale PV devices at Sandia National Laboratories’ Distributed Energy Technologies Laboratory (DETL). The control strategies are demonstrated on reduced-order utility feeder models with DER operating under variable irradiance conditions.
