Enabling Smart Grid Volt/VAR Control

Optimizing power flow using a distribution model

BY TIM TAYLOR, Ventyx

Today’s emphasis on implementing energy efficiency programs and limiting peak demand growth has driven renewed interest in the most effective method to implement Smart Grid volt-ampere reactive control, or Smart Grid volt/VAR control, on distribution systems. This includes the implementation of conservation voltage reduction (CVR), in which the system demand is reduced through controlled reduction in operating voltage at customer load points....
