Abstract :
Hydro-Quebec aims saving energy by controlling the voltage level and by managing the reactive power (vars) in the distribution network. For this, it will use a VVC system, which requires a permanent surveillance of the voltage level at the end of the distribution feeder and the installation of switching shunt capacitor banks.
