Adopting Single phase VO (Capacitor switching) with mini-DVAR to mitigate voltage imbalance on a Distribution System.
The practical case study conducted in this project is based on the NC State University (NCSU) campus.
This project will investigate the benefits of single-phase voltage optimization on distribution systems, with the incorporation of a mini-DVAR to explore any further potential benefits. A practical case study of NC State's campus will be conducted to assess the results. This project aims to examine the effects of voltage optimization and mini-DVAR integration on the campus electricity distribution system.
