Abstract
A computer-implemented method for controlling voltage fluctuations of a microgrid including a plurality of distributed generators (DGs) is presented. The computer-implemented method includes collecting, by a resiliency controller including at least a voltage control module, measurement data from the microgrid, using, by a reactive power estimator, reactive power estimations to calculate an amount of reactive power for each of the DGs, and using a dynamic droop control unit to distribute the reactive power to each of the DGs of the microgrid.
