Patent ID: 8847570

Claim:
A method of regulating electric power at a node of a system for distribution of electricity, comprising: identifying, by a voltage controller, one or more properties of branch structures in the system, the system comprising a voltage regulation device that controls a voltage source that supplies electricity to a plurality of nodes via the branch structures; receiving, by the voltage controller, information on voltage and current associated with electricity provided by the voltage source; receiving, by the voltage controller from a metering device at each of the plurality of nodes in the system, primary voltage information; selecting, by the voltage controller, a node of the plurality of nodes based on the primary voltage information; determining, by the voltage controller based on the one or more properties, an impedance for a branch structure corresponding to the selected node; and controlling, by the voltage controller, the voltage regulation device based on the impedance for the branch structure corresponding to the selected node and the information on the voltage and the current.
