What is it about?
The increasing participation from third parties and end users will bring difficulties to the DNOs during arbitration and decision making. This paper explores a decentralized voltage control method based on a multi-agent system (MAS) with built-in incentives for various participants.

Why is it important?
Without a central decision maker, the proposed approach can regulate the voltage by multiple participants who are motivated by the incentives and to provide real-time ancillary services in distribution networks. Compared with conventional methods, the proposed scheme releases the burden of calculation and communication, and improves the speed of control systems significantly.
Perspectives
I hope this article can draw attentions from not only researchers, practitioners, but individual operators and end users of electricity who can be induced to provide real-time ancillary services while pursuing their own profit maximization. Variety is the spice of life, the changes on power distribution networks will add flavor to daily life of all participants.
