Abstract

The voltage regulation in distribution systems refers to the primary objective of maintaining customers’ voltages within an acceptable range under all loading conditions. This function has been accomplished by the Volt/Var control—a strategy that coordinates voltage regulating devices and reactive power controls in order to reach a suitable operation of the system. As the modernization of the distribution grid has become a reality, new intelligent and updated schemes for Volt/Var control must be developed to face the recent operating scenario challenges and to make use of the technological advances in infrastructure. Under those circumstances, Volt/Var control has the task of achieving high quality power supply and, at the same time, meeting strict performance goals on the grid operation. To tackle these problems, intelligent systems are built providing a computational efficient optimization engine. In this context, this chapter presents the Volt/Var control, from basic concepts to advanced topics, laying the foundation for a complete optimization framework and introducing the Volt/Var optimization as a determinant tool to further enhance system operation objectives.
