As a distribution system operator running under the Turkishelectricity regulation, a battery investment was made to improve PQ metrics to provide quality electricity service to customers by focusing on Volt/VAr optimization to obtain voltage stability parameters. The reverse power flow caused by the distributed generation can be eliminated and the power factor would be improved with the reactive support with this investment. This study includes the reasons for the battery pilot project, the engineering methodology, and post-solution improvements.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessConference paper00085158800004010.1109/SGRE53517.2022.9774167Distributed generationDistribution systemPower qualityReactive power supportVoltage regulation2-s2.0-85130949734
