Abstract
A system for regulating reactive power flow of one or more inverters coupled to an electrical grid. The system includes one or more voltage regulators coupled between a voltage output of a feeder of the electrical grid and one or more inverters configured to generate or consume reactive power as a function of observed voltage. The one or more voltage regulators is configured to provide one or more output control voltages to control reactive power flow of the one or more inverters.
