This study presents an economical distributed control scheme for operations in the low-voltage network. The scheme aims to keep bus voltages within the desired statutory range of values while increasing the penetration of solar photovoltaic (PV) renewable energy within the network. Rather than curtailment, battery energy storage system (BESS) is first brought to action by the controllers during periods of high output from PV. This is followed by reactive power action if overvoltage persists, and finally PV power curtailment as a last option. Simulations carried out on the test network show that in addition to successful overvoltage mitigation, the scheme is economical as it employs use of fewer BESS.
