In this paper, we review the emerging challenges and research opportunities for voltage control in smart grids. For transmission grids, the voltage control for accommodating wind and solar power, fault-induced delayed voltage recovery (FIDVR), and measurement-based Thévenin equivalent for voltage stability analysis are reviewed. For distribution grids, the impact of high penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) is analyzed, typical control strategies are reviewed, and the challenges for local inverter Volt-Var control is discussed. In addition, the motivation, state-of-art, and future directions of the coordination of transmission system operators (TSO) and distribution system operators (DSO) are also thoroughly discussed.

This paper describes the two test systems for voltage stability studies set up by the IEEE PES Task Force on "Test Systems for Voltage Stability Analysis and Security Assessment" under the auspices of the Power System Stability Subcommittee of the Power System Dynamic Performance Committee. These systems are based on previous test systems, making them more representative of voltage stability constraints. A set of representative results are provided for both systems, with emphasis on dynamic simulation. They illustrate various aspects such as longterm dynamics, voltage security assessment, real-time detection, and corrective control of instabilities. The value for educators, researchers and practitioners are emphasized.
