This report documents work supporting the Sandia National Laboratories initiative in Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. One approach for real-time control of power generation assets using feedback control, Quantitative feedback theory (QFT), has recently been applied to voltage, frequency, and phase-control of power systems at Sandia. QFT provided a simple yet powerful philosophy for designing the control systems--allowing the designer to optimize the system by making design tradeoffs without getting lost in complex mathematics. The feedback systems were effective in reducing sensitivity to large and sudden changes in the power grid system. Voltage, frequency, and phase were accurately controlled, even with large disturbances to the power grid system.
