Distributed control strategies applied to power distribution problems are meant offer robust and scalable integration of distributed energy resources (DERs). However, the term "distributed control" is often loosely a variety very different strategies. In particular there lack discrimination between aspects related communication topology, physical components, associated objectives. This has lead objective criteria for performance comparison general quality assessment state art solutions. For...
