Abstract

A method includes detecting a fault in a grid coupled to a distribution power network, the distribution power network comprising a distribution feeder, a plurality of distributed energy resources (DERs) coupled to the distribution feeder and a reference point of applicability (RPA) associated with the plurality of DERs, and in response to detecting the fault, determining an error voltage at the RPA, converting the error voltage into an error signal, broadcasting the error signal to the plurality of DERs, and based on the error signal, reducing the error voltage at the RPA by injecting a plurality of currents from the plurality of DERs to the distribution feeder.
