Adaptive voltage regulation of an inverter-based power distribution network with a class of droop controllers

The voltage received by each customer connected to a power distribution line with local controllers (inverters) is regulated to be within a desired margin through a class of slope-restricted controllers, known conventionally as \emph{droop} controllers. We adapt the design of the droop controllers according to the known bounds of the net power consumption of each customer in each observation time window. A sufficient condition for voltage regulation is provided for each time window, which guides the design of the droop controllers, depending on the properties of the distribution line (line impedances) and the upper bound of all the customers' power consumption during each time window. The resulting adaptive scheme is verified on a benchmark model of a European low-voltage network by the CIGRE task force.
