Advanced Distribution Management System with Distributed Energy Resources Volt/VAR
This report details EPRI work to design and test an algorithm for optimization of Volt/VAR&mdasha smart inverter function that allows distributed energy resources to help maintain acceptable voltage along a feeder under various grid operating conditions. It can monitor and control smart inverter–connected distributed energy resources.
