Adopting D-VAR to Mitigate PV Impacts on a Distribution System – Phase II
This project focuses on improving the integration of D-VARs on Duke Energy feeders to maximize their benefits. It will develop dynamic dispatching schemes to enable the D-VARs to be used more effectively. By doing so, we can ensure that the expected benefits are achieved. NC State's expertise will be essential to the success of this project.

More Details
D-VAR is an emerging technology which is designed for distribution level volt/VAR applications. This project focuses on development of methods which will facilitate the effective integration of D-VARs on Duke Energy feeders such that the benefits D-DAR offer can be maximized. This In this phase of the project the focus will be towards the development of more dynamic dispatching schemes for the D-VAR such that the expected benefits are maximized.
