In this paper, we present a distributed voltage control mechanism that is being used in the large-scale field-test of the Linear project. The control system developed does not require a communication network between the different households. Only the locally measured household supply voltage is taken into account. The proposed control system is compatible with DSM infrastructure currently being developed, such as home gateways and smart meters. Moreover, the proposed control system can also be used as a fallback mechanism for other communication-based DSM control systems when communication fails or when the system has been compromised due to cyber security issues. Using Monte Carlo simulations on two accurately modeled field test grids and device models, the proposed approach and its various parameter set points are benchmarked against the optimal Dynamic Programming solution. Simulation results point out that on average the amount of over and under voltage occurrences can be lowered by more than 30 %.
