Distributed Generation is growing at important rates due to several reasons, including, in some countries, the strong penetration of renewable generating plants. Voltage rise is a considerable problem that prevents generators from injecting more active power into distribution networks. After a review of recently proposed mitigation techniques, a voltage rise mitigation technique is presented. The technique is based on a coordinated reactive power control of the distributed generators which takes into account the capability limits of the generators. It is suitable for utilization in distribution networks equipped with or without a dedicated communication infrastructure.
