Abstract
A distributed control node enables local control of reactive power. A consumer node generates local real power on a consumer side of a point of common coupling (PCC). The control node converts local real power into reactive power with a conversion device on the consumer side of the PCC. The control node can deliver the reactive power to the grid to provide VARs to the grid from locally generated real power.
