<!-- Abstract Here -->
== Introduction ==
The  connection  of  embedded  generating  systems  to  the  distribution network  may  impact  on  distribution utilities’ ability to regulate network voltages.   For    this    reason,    distribution    utilities   require    embedded generating systems to consider voltage, power factor and reactive power control system as described below.
*Voltage  droop  control  which  varies  by  a  fixed  percentage  to manage network stability.
*Operate at an agreed power factor such that voltage variations are maintained within prescribed limits. 
*Control reactive power output, within their capability, to maintain the connection point voltage to anagreed target.Evaluate  the  ideal  voltage  control  and  methodology  for  large  embedded generators categories connected to the distribution network.
*>30kVA & ≤200kVA (NER Chapter 5A assessment)
*>200kVA & <5MVA (NER Chapter 5A assessment)
*>5MVA (NER Chapter 5 assessment) (optional scope)
