Comparison of Volt–VAR Control and Power Factor Control of PV Inverters on the Voltage Profile of Low Voltage Distribution Networks
The rapid increase of photovoltaic generation in low-voltage distribution networks can trigger voltage rise and overvoltage, particularly on feeders with a high resistance-to-reactance ratio. This study compares two smart-inverter voltage regulation strategies—volt–var control and power-factor control—to mitigate overv...
