A Recurring Pattern
Given
Available controls – caps, taps, ES, switches, etc; & Initial status
Forecast of independent variables – loads, DER
Optionally, mathematical model of the system – how the system
behave

Control objectives
Local objective – such as voltage or power factor
at certain point on feeder
System objective is not determined by the state
at any specific point in the system, but a function
of overall system condition over time
Energy loss
Demand
Switching operations

What do we mean by system model?
Characterization of the independent variables (load, DER,
ES, initial condition, temporal evolution)
How independent variable respond to system state (P-V, Q-
V relationship) or interruption
Controls (DR control, cap switching, ES charging
discharging, DER real and reactive power control..)
System behavior – how system states respond to any
changes in the controls – usually defined by system
topology and component parameters

What if there is no model?
We can know the system state from observation if we have
enough measurements
New system state can only be observed after a control
action is actually implemented on physical system
Searching for better control strategy is possible for single
time interval, very fast continuous single control
Not suitable for
Slow control
Discrete control
Multiple controls
Multiple time interval problem

Effects of using proxy objective in VVC (no model)
System model allows evaluation of explicit control objective, without
it, proxy is used
Misalignment between the proxy objective and real objective could
result in counter productive control actions
Lower voltage on a feeder with high percentage constant power load
could increase the overall demand
Higher power factor does not equate lower power loss;
