This paper presents a novel distributed voltage control strategy to maintain the voltage of active distribution networks containing multiple microgrids. Local voltage regulation characteristics, such as power reserve, adjustment cost, and regulating speed, are identified first. According to a neighbors' voltage regulation characteristics, the microgrid coordinates neighborhood resources and asks them for coordination as soon as voltage problems occur. Microgrids schedule local resources based on a cooperative distributed model predictive control algorithm scheme with neighbor-to-neighbor communication. Tests are performed in an active distribution network with three microgrids. The numerical studies have shown that the proposed strategy mitigates the voltage fluctuation rapidly and efficiently with minimum operating cost.
