Present the theoretical and practical principal aspects related to Integrating Volt/VAr Management strategies consistent with Smart Grid objectives for Asset Management and Reliability in the distribution system.

Discuss implementation of LTC transformer control, line regulator control along feeders, pole top capacitor bank control (remote and local), power
quality issues; sags swells CBEMA and harmonics, as well as protection of the intertie with disbursed, alternative, or green energy sources.

Investigate system performance enhancements such as use of; autoadaptive techniques, VAr Biasing, Line Drop Compensation (LDC), flattening the voltage profile end to end and Conservation Voltage Control, paralleling for single bus, double bus and ring bus configurations, SCADA heartbeat integrity checks, and automatic change over on loss of communications.

Additional topics include communications; ports, protocols and media and the use of Ethernet over fiber optics, IEC 61850, mesh networks, reporting by exception and unsolicited reporting, broadcast capabilities for voltage collapse mitigation, distribution VAr support to transmission for voltage collapse mitigation, and much more.
