---

NOTICE - This session will be paid for by the North Jersey Section PES as a courtesy to our members and prospective members during these challenging times of COVID-19.  There will be no charge for participation and Continuing Education Unit credits.

This session is being offered as a GoToMeeting (details below).  

The seminar will cover:

Distribution Voltage Regulation Series: Methods to Regulate the Voltage on the Distribution Grid

Introduction: This is a 10 - session presentation meant to assist engineers in designing the proper voltage regulation 
architecture for the distribution grid. Each session takes approximately 45-50 minutes with a 10-15 
minute period at the end for questions. The presentations should prove beneficial to technicians and 
engineers responsible for distribution standards and design, distribution planning engineers, power 
quality engineers as well as SCADA/ communications engineers. Below is a brief description of each 
session.

Part 5) How FLISR Impacts Voltage Regulation

This session discovers how switching or FLISR schemes impact voltage regulation. When placing part of 
one feeder onto a new feeder it can cause reverse power flow with regulators and also change the fault 
power seen by capacitor banks which will cause a change in the Delta Voltage for the capacitor bank. It 
can also cause a loss of coordination with time delays between regulators and capacitor banks.

Part 6) How DG Impacts Voltage Regulation

This session discusses how the introduction of solar and/or wind generation onto a distribution circuit 
can impact the voltage regulation. Regulators can be in reverse power mode as well as capacitor banks 
and may not operate correctly. Depending on how the inverters are configured (unity pF, fixed pF or 
Volt/Var) the inverters may also impact the amount of reactive capacitive current required on the circuit 
and may impact the placement of switched capacitor banks. Finally the session looks at distribution 
STATCOMs that may be required to mitigate voltage variations due to the volatile nature of the output 
of DG.
