Reactive Power Dispatch for Large Number of PV Installations

The reactive power controls proposed in the literature can be categorised into three types: centralised, distributed, and local control. The classification of decentralised control in [1], defined as “intermediate state between centralised and distributed control” shall be classified as distributed control for the remainder of this work as both distributed and decentralised controls in [1] require some forms of communication. It is also noted that there are other definitions of distributed and decentralised which assume no communication [2], but those controls are defined as local in this work.
