Abstract
System for controlling voltage supply to a portion of a distribution grid. The portion of the grid including a substation providing one or more transformers operable to increase or decrease the voltage supplied to consumers within the portion of the grid. The voltage control system includes: a data set including a previously measured power consumption associated with previously measured values of a property(ies) being one of voltage, current, frequency or load, or a combination thereof, a measuring device to measure the property(ies) within the portion of the grid, a processing device to determine a most likely effect of altering the value(s) of the property(ies) from a first value to a second value, a storage device for storing one or more rules associating a trigger event with a response action associated with the substation, and a control device to receive a measurement of the property(ies) within the portion of the grid.
