Abstract
Decentralized methods for computing optimal real and reactive power setpoints for residential photovoltaic (PV) inverters are described. Optimal power flow techniques are described that select which inverters will provide ancillary services and compute their optimal real and reactive power setpoints according to specified performance criteria and economic objectives.
