Abstract
Centralized controllers for a photovoltaic-enabled distribution grid are described herein. Photovoltaic cells may generate electricity that may be supplied to the distribution grid, which may experience unexpected abnormal power loads. The controllers utilize photovoltaic inverters connected to the photovoltaic cells to optimize the performance of the grid by absorbing or injecting reactive power. These controllers are particularly efficient in handling unexpected abnormal power loads.
