Volt/var control algorithm for modern distribution management system
Abstract
In this paper, a centralized volt/VAr control (VVC) algorithm for a distribution management system is presented. The algorithm is based on the oriented discrete coordinate descent method and takes into account all the optimization objectives of interest in distribution system analysis: minimum power loss, power demand or the number of control steps to keep the system within constraints. Although the optimization method used belongs to the traditional class of combinatorial integer programming, the algorithm provides good speed for real-time application. Numerical examples illustrate how well the VVC algorithm works for the different types of objective functions and it's advantages in comparison with other possible optimization strategies.>

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
