This paper presents a novel hierarchical voltage control framework for distribution networks to mitigate voltage violations by coordinating distributed energy storage systems (DESSs). The framework establishes a two-layer architecture that integrates centralized optimization with distributed. Abstract—Integration of distributed energy storage (DES) is beneficial for mitigating voltage fluctuations in highly distributed generator (DG)-penetrated active distribution networks (ADNs). System efficiency - decoupling the energy generation from the load; 2. Management of Uncontrollable Sources - e.
