The IEEE 123-bus system in OpenDSS is used for testing the performance of the preliminary VLSM-based voltage control approach. A load disaggregation process is applied to disaggregate the total load profile at the feeder head to each load nodes along the feeder so that loads are modeled at residential house level. Measured solar generation profiles are used in the simulation to model the impact of solar power on distribution feeder voltage profiles. Different case studies involving various PV penetration levels and installation locations have been performed. Simulation results show that the VLSM algorithm performance meets the voltage control requirements and is an effective voltage control strategy.}, booktitle={2017 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting}, publisher={IEEE}, author={Zhu, Xiangqi and Wang, Jiyu and Mulcahy, David and Lubkeman, David L. and Lu, Ning and Samaan, Nader and Huang, Renke}, year={2017}, month={Jul} }
