🚀 Excited to share that our latest paper is now available in IEEE Xplore as Early Access!

In this work, we present and experimentally validate a 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿-𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 that enables coordinated voltage control between Low Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) grids. Some highlights of the work: 🔹 Cyber-physical implementation using heterogeneous controllers and communication protocols 🔹 Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) validation based on real measurements from the Forschungszentrum Jülich campus 🔹 Real-time integration of a large grid-connected Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) directly into the control loop 🔹 Experimental demonstration of fast voltage violation mitigation under realistic operating conditions Bridging advanced control algorithms with real hardware is a crucial step toward making future smart grids both intelligent and deployable. We're excited to contribute another piece toward that vision.
