The increased penetration of volatile renewable energy into distribution networks necessities more efficient distributed (VAR) voltage control. In these control algorithms each bus regulates its voltage fluctuations based on local voltage measurements and communication to other buses. Recent studies have shown that the communication between buses is necessary to solve the general voltage control problem. However, existing literature provides only synchronous voltage control algorithms, which are clearly infeasible in large networks. In this paper, we design a distributed asynchronous feedback voltage control algorithm. The main contributions of our algorithm are: 1) it only requires local communication between neighbors in the network, 2) it enforces hard reactive power limits at every iteration, 3) it converges to hard voltage limits, 4) it converges to optimal reactive power control, 5) it is provably robust to communication delays. We prove the algorithms convergence assuming linear relationship between voltage and reactive power. We simulate the algorithm using the full nonlinear AC power flow model. Our simulations show the effectiveness of our algorithm on realistic networks with both static and fluctuating loads, even in the presence of communication delays.
