Abstract: The increasing proliferation of distributed energy resources on distribution systems has brought a number of network management and operational challenges; voltage variation has been identified as one of the dominant effects. Active distribution network manage the network in an active approach through coordinating and controlling local controllable resources. A novel distributed voltage control strategy was proposed employing a multiple agent system platform. By utilizing local measurements and communications, the proposed voltage control strategy can realize the overall network voltage management and distributed generation maximization simultaneously. A testing arising from the application of the voltage control strategy on a case study network was carried out at the end of the paper. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed voltage control strategy has been demonstrated.
