How can Volt/VAR optimization (VVO) reduce distribution system losses while maintaining acceptable voltage profiles?

Volt/VAR Optimization (VVO) is a technique used to minimize power losses and improve voltage profiles in distribution systems by intelligently managing voltage and reactive power (VAR) resources. Distribution system losses are primarily caused by current flowing through the impedance of conductors. Reducing current reduces losses, and managing voltage and reactive power achieves this. VVO systems use various control devices, such as capacitor banks, voltage regulators, and smart inverters, to adjust voltag....
