Abstract--To meet the requirement from new visions within "smart grid" and to provide solutions for many challenges that DSOs (Distribution System Operators) are facing today, we need to develop advanced DMS (Distribution Management System) applications. A centralized Volt/Var Control (VVC) is one of the most desirable and important functions within Distribution Automation systems and DMSs.The overall Volt/Var control function is concerned with maintaining system voltage profile within a desired range and minimizing system losses by controlling the reactive power flow.The main objective of this paper is to review and evaluate the existing and recent techniques and algorithms for advanced VVC applications and identify the requirements for integrated Volt/Var control and optimization function in distribution management systems within the smart grid concepts.

“…The coordination must be done centrally using a substation automation system or a DMS system. For such a coordinated Volt/Var optimal control we need: 1) two-way communication infrastructure, and 2) robust voltage and var optimization algorithm for handling large and complex distribution network [5].…”

Due to the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) required for the sustainable distribution system, new voltage control strategy is needed by utilities. Traditional voltage control strategy can not support the increasing number of DERs in a coordinated and scalable manner to meet the operational voltage regulation requirement. Supported by the power electronics converter, the energy storage system can provide fast, smooth, and flexible voltage control services. In this paper, an effective and easy to implement sensitivity-based voltage control strategy is developed for the energy storage system. The developed control strategy is validated using an industrial feeder data in Northwest Washington. The proposed strategy can mitigate the voltage unbalance issue, improve the voltage profile, and correct power factors while supporting sustainable distribution system operation.

“…Previously studied voltage and VAR control (VVC) approaches have considered the injection of reactive power by PV inverters as scheduled and dispatched feeder control variables [14][15][16][17][18]. Although scheduling the reactive power control is typically effective, the computational times of the analytical VVC algorithms are the main obstacles for online use of the VVC algorithms [19]. This is especially true in systems with high PV penetration and high intermittency.…”
