This paper summarizes the state of discussions in CIGRE/CIRED joined working group C4.24, concerning expected impacts on the power quality of future methods for volt-var-control in the distribution grid. The positive impacts include the reduction of the number of overvoltage and undervoltages and also a reduction of voltage unbalance, when some control schemes are applied. Potential negative impacts include an increased number of short-duration undervoltages, rapid voltage changes, flicker, and voltage transients; a higher risk of harmonic resonances; and increased emission of supraharmonics. All these potential impacts are discussed in the paper.

Abstract
This paper summarizes the state of discussions in CIGRE/CIRED joined working group C4.24, concerning expected impacts on the power quality of future methods for volt-var-control in the distribution grid. The positive impacts include the reduction of the number of overvoltage and undervoltages and also a reduction of voltage unbalance, when some control schemes are applied. Potential negative impacts include an increased number of short-duration undervoltages, rapid voltage changes, flicker, and voltage transients; a higher risk of harmonic resonances; and increased emission of supraharmonics. All these potential impacts are discussed in the paper.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
