A resilient voltage support strategy which uses multiple

[20]. It is applied to a low voltage (LV) networks

source for consumers. A DSTATCOMs share the required
reactive power taking into account their effectiveness on
voltage support and also matches its operation with the
neighboring DSTATCOM by using its state information. The
resilient voltage support strategy requires less reactive power
as compared to other voltage support strategies.
For application in low voltage distribution grids, a voltage
