Conclusion
Characteristics of the proposed smart inverter control architectures:

The introduced control architectures enable reliable, fast and
efficient control of future oriented power systems

Increase the flexibility and adaptability for DERs grid integration
into conventional grids

Support the conventional control schemas, which are consequently
down sized to the low voltage level

Give an opportunity to establish an advance control function down
to local level



Long Beach, 21.03.2013
39
Conclusion
Change the ordinary DERs integration to be a part of the dynamic grid
control and management

Empower and turn distribution network to be the active control area
with Smart Inverter
