Abstract

Methods and systems for power management include determining a voltage level of a grid; if the voltage level is below a lower voltage threshold, setting power outputs for one or more distributed generators on the grid to maximum; and if the voltage level is above the lower voltage threshold and below an upper voltage threshold, determining power outputs for one or more distributed generators on the grid using sensitivity-based distributed Q compensation.
