Raghavendra, P.Gaonkar, D.N.2026-02-052018IEEE Industry Applications Magazine, 2018, 24, 2, pp. 14-2210772618https://doi.org/10.1109/MIAS.2017.2740474https://idr.nitk.ac.in/handle/123456789/25242The increasing penetration of intermitt ent and stochastic distributed generation (DG) sources in the existing power grid can lead to voltage rise problems. Meanwhile, the rapid development of smart grid technologies calls for effective solutions to realize the real-time measurements and coordinated volt-var control to improve the overall systems voltage profile (VP). This article presents online VP estimation and coordinated volt-var control in a smart distribution network with multiple DG systems. © 1975-2012 IEEE.Electric power distributionOnline systemsReal time systemsStochastic systemsValue engineeringDG systemEffective solutionPower gridsReal time measurementsSmart distribution networksSmart Grid technologiesVoltage profileVoltage riseElectric power transmission networks
