In this paper an exhaustive bibliographical revision of the mathematical methods used for
the optimal selection and location of reactive power compensating elements is developed …

When relatively high-capacity renewable photovoltaic (PV) systems are connected to a grid,
they can increase or decrease the voltage along feeders because of reverse power flow …

Widespread interest in environmental issues is growing. Many studies have examined the
effect of distributed generation (DG) from renewable energy resources on the electric power …

Despite of their small capacity, distributed generation (DG) systems can cause an increase
in feeder voltage when they produce power into a distribution system if not appropriately …

As weather-dependent distributed renewable energy resources (RERs) such as photovoltaic
(PV) systems and wind farms have increasingly been connected to distribution networks …

Modern distribution networks with intermittent weather-dependent renewable energy
resources may require energy storage to smooth out intermittency in their power generation …

Dynamic and static reactive power resources have become an important means of
maintaining the stability and reliability of power system networks. For example, if reactive …

Distributed generation (DG) systems—particularly photovoltaic (PV) systems—that can
control reactive power can change the behavior of a power system network in spite of their …

Microgrids have become attractive electricity supply and management options that support
local power generation, increased reliability, sustainability, and cost reductions. Microgrid …

This work presents contributions to the study and development of Voltage and Reactive
Power Control (Volt/VAr control or VVC) for intelligent distribution systems. Currently, the use …
