AUTOMATIC COORDINATED VOLTAGE (CVC) SYSTEM
The Coordinated Voltage Control (CVC) system is designed to remotely adjust reactive power control equipment such as generators, LSS plants, OLTC transformers, shunt capacitors and reactors to achieve optimal voltage profiles and minimize system losses. This system enables wide area voltage coordination, ensuring effective voltage and reactive power management.

While reducing reactive power can enhance power factor and system efficiency, one downside is that an adequate amount of reactive power is necessary to manage voltage levels and address losses in a transmission network. Therefore, it is crucial to implement an automatic coordinated voltage control system to stabilize the entire system.
Key Features & Benefits
Three tier hierarchical voltage control: Coordinates reactivate power (Var) resources with the concepts of Tertiary Voltage Control (TVC), Secondary Voltage Control (SVC) and Primary Voltage Control (PVC).
Adaptive Zone Division (AZD): Automatically reconfigure control zones with adaptive clustering method.
Enhanced Power Plant Voltage Controller (PPVC) and Substation Voltage Controller (SSVC)
Requirements of the electric grid operation, improve voltage stability margins keep safe voltage profiles and reduce transmission losses.
Potential Applications
The CVC system is made up of hardware and software that determines control strategy according to the operational states of the electrical grid, and closed loop controls of Var and voltage regulating equipment
The CVC system performs system-wide optimization and regulates local control devices of power plants & substations.
