As a consequence of the transition to distributed and renewable energy systems, some distribution system operators are increasingly concerned about power quality, including steady-state voltage volatility.

As more distributed energy resources (DERs) are connected to the power grid, it becomes increasingly important to ensure safe and effective coordination between legacy voltage regulation devices and inverter-based DERs.

In this work we explore impedance-based interactions that arise when inverter-connected distributed energy resources (DERs) inject real and reactive power to regulate voltage and power flows on three-phase unbalanced distribution grids.
