A dynamic phasor model for low- and medium-voltage distribution grids is presented. This model accurately represents the transient dynamics of this type of grid, and its low order makes it well suited for control design. A novel fixed-structure, robust control design method based on convex optimization is then used to design a decentralized low-order controller that shows a significantly improved transient performance compared to classical droop controllers. The performance of the designed controller is then validated in a simulation example for voltage and frequency control of an islanded medium-voltage distribution grid.
