Voltage control loss factors for quantifying DG reactive power control impacts on losses and curtailment

Abstract Distributed Generators that use reactive power for voltage control in distribution networks reduce renewable curtailment but can significantly increase network losses, undermining the effectiveness of this control. This paper proposes Voltage Control Loss Factors (VCLFs) as a means of under...
