In this paper, we propose a distributed voltage control in power distribution networks through reactive power compensation. The proposed control can operate in a distributed fashion where each bus makes its decision based on local voltage measurements and communication with neighboring buses, always satisfy the reactive power capacity constraint, drive the voltage magnitude into an acceptable range, and minimize an operational cost. We also perform various numerical case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the controller using the nonlinear power flow model.
