A distributed control for multiple photovoltaic generators in distribution networks

A distributed control was provided to regulate the active power of photovoltaic (PV) generators installed on a distribution power system network, making a group of PVs converge and operate at the same ratio of available power. The sufficient conditions that guarantee the convergence of the closed-loop system was discussed, including the minimal requirement of communication topology among the PVs. Simulation on a radial distribution network was provided to verify the validness of the control.
