Abstract
Architectures, apparatuses, methods, systems, and techniques for controlling electrical power distribution network are disclosed. Distributed, hierarchical controls including layered locational energy service control variables may be utilized to determine and control the provision of energy services, including real power, reactive power (VAR), and capacity reserves, by DERs in a distribution network. In a first ex-ante iteration a simulation may be performed to calculate a set of subnetwork-specific control variables based on subnetwork locational energy service prices and a plurality of sets of DER-specific control variables based on DER locational energy service prices. In a second ex-ante iteration a set of actual subnetwork-specific control variables based on subnetwork locational energy service prices and a plurality of sets of actual DER-specific control variables based on DER locational energy service prices. Provision of energy services by DERs in a distribution network occur in response to the determined control variables.
