Abstract
Systems and methods for switch-controlled VAR sources coupled to a power grid are described. In some embodiments, a system comprises a distribution power network coupled to a first switch-controlled VAR source. The first switch-controlled VAR source may comprise a processor, a voltage compensation component, and a switch. The first switch-controlled VAR source may be configured to obtain a first delay value, monitor a first proximate voltage, initiate a first delay duration based on the comparison of the first proximate voltage to at least one set point, the first delay duration being based on the first delay value, determine, with the processor, after the first delay duration, whether to connect the voltage compensation component based on the monitored voltage, and control, based on the determination, the switch to connect the voltage compensation component to adjust a network voltage or a network voltage component.
