N2 - Increasing photovoltaic (PV) penetration in the distribution system can often lead to voltage violations. Mitigation of these violations requires reactive power intervention from PV inverters. However, the unbalanced nature of the distribution system leads to mixed effects on the voltages of nearby nodes for each inverter injecting or absorbing reactive power. In particular, reactive power absorption to reduce over-voltage in one phase can exacerbate over-voltage in a different phase. In this paper, the factors impacting the incremental and decremental voltage effects of reactive power intervention are analyzed in detail. The result of these effects on the distribution system performance is presented to highlight their significance and the need to factor them in for any coordinated voltage control algorithm.
