The penetration of distributed generators in Medium Voltage (MV) distribution network transforms the grid operation. Sophisticated methods facilitate better utilization of the distribution network and improve the power-supply reliability and quality. Voltage rise is main limiting factor in preventing increase of distributed generation in distribution networks. Voltage regulation, loss reduction, network expansion planning, optimal placement of reactive sources, and many other applications regarding both planning and operation of power systems in which it is necessary, or even simply useful, to predict the changes of voltage magnitude caused by variations in loads and generations.
