Agent-Based Voltage Regulation Scheme For Active Distributed Networks Under Distributed Quantized Communication

In this paper, a novel distributed pinning control scheme for the voltage regulation of active distributed networks through limited bandwidth communication. In actual active distributed networks, the information exchange among multiple and cooperative DGs may be subject to these constraints of communication bandwidth and storage space, DGs can only receive uniform quantized information. Towards that end, a distributed pinning control scheme will synchronize the terminal voltage of DGs to their reference value by a virtual leader through sparse communication considering communication band-width and storage space exponential convergence. By means of the Gronwall's inequality tools and algebraic graph theory, distributed pinning protocols are developed to be employed for active distributed networks, in which manner the criteria for the stability analysis to maintain the closed-loop system stable are derived. Simulation results on an active distributed network system are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control protocols.
