Abstract :
This paper summarizes the results of a study on improvement in the Volt/ Var Optimization (VVO) capabilities due to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in comparison with a currently operating advanced VVO application that does not use the AMI. The potential incremental VVO benefits attributable to AMI implementation are detailed based on a utility´s prospect.
