​​Managing voltage and power flow has been at the heart of engineering and operations—and our members' power quality expectations—for as long as we have had electricity. However, changes in the source of generation and type of load are introducing dynamics into voltage and power flow on our systems. Improvements in Volt-VAR Optimization (VVO) technology are enhancing the tools available to co-ops and providing more effective ways to manage system challenges.

This Surveillance article reviews the benefits of VVO for co-ops and how blending proven approaches with innovation can help to adapt to industry changes.
