Abstract
In the present study divergence operator is exploited with the aim to improve the dynamic behaviour of a distribution network weakly connected to the transmission grid. A novel regulator has been investigated to drive a storage device with the target to reduce disturbances affecting the power exchanges with the high voltage power system. The proposed approach has been tested exploiting the DIgSILENT software capabilities. The performance of the divergence based regulator has been evaluated with respect to a traditional frequency regulator response (based on local measures).
