Photovoltaic generation is creating more frequent and severe voltage instability in the grid. Traditional solutions are costly and ineffective. We will develop a new solution: algorithms for optimal placement, sizing, and operation of batteries for voltage stabilization, and work with Pasadena Water and Power to deploy them in their grid.
