Low-voltage distribution systems are experiencing growing integration of distributed energy resources, electric vehicle chargers, and other power-electronic interfaced equipment. These developments are associated with new system dynamics and increased occurrences of voltage deviations, harmonic distortion, and unbalanced operating conditions. DFACTS technologies, supported by advanced converter control methodologies, provide fast and adaptive functionalities for the mitigation of these power-quality issues. With the continuous rise of inverter-interfaced resources at the distribution level, power-quality concerns are increasingly concentrated in low-voltage networks. Their high R/X ratios, multipoint DER interfaces, and inherently unbalanced loading conditions create challenges that conventional technologies cannot adequately address. DFACTS devices offer dynamic and coordinated control functionalities specifically designed to address these evolving grid conditions. Contributions are invited on topics including, but not limited to:
This special session presents recent advances in control strategies, system design, and practical applications of DFACTS devices, with a focus on enhancing power quality and ensuring the operational reliability of modern low-voltage distribution networks.
A special session at ICIEA 2026 will present recent research on emerging concepts, implementation strategies, and system-level aspects of flexible power-quality control in low-voltage distribution networks.
