Field Demonstration of Inverter-based Voltage Management Using Extremum Seeking Control. MacDonald, J., Baudette, M., Dunn, K., & Mohsenian-Rad, H. In IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting, volume 2021-July, 2021.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
The influx of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) throughout the distribution system presents a challenge and an opportunity for maintaining power quality standards throughout the system. As such, DER Management systems have become a burgeoning field in both industry and academia. This work presents results from a field test of a model-free, distributed control approach, Extremum Seeking, applied to voltage management on a live feeder in Riverside, CA. The paper presents selected results to highlight the successes and challenges the control approach faced. The work shows that despite slow inverter response, extremum seeking control is able to drive voltage toward a target without knowledge of the system it is operating on.
