AbstractWith the increasing capacity of grid-connected PV systems, ancillary service such as voltageregulation at point of common coupling (PCC) is available from PV systems by controlling theamount of reactive power injected to the grid. This paper proposes an adaptive voltage controlmethod of distribution systems with high-level PV penetration. The modelfree extremumseeking (ES) control algorithm is used to autotune the PI feedback gains of the voltagecontroller to respond dynamically to system changes. The PI gains of the voltage controllerare updated online through the minimization of a cost function, which represents the voltagecontroller performance. The proposed ES-based adaptive voltage controller is tested in adistribution system model with a 5-MW PV system built in Matlab/Simulink. Simulationresults show that compared with traditional PI controller, the proposed voltage controllercan easily adapt to load changes and grid faults, thus improving the power system reliabilityand voltage stability.
