contents The increasing integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in distribution networks presents new challenges for voltage regulation and reactive power support. This paper extends a sensitivity-aware reactive power dispatch algorithm tailored to manage smart inverters operating under different control modes, including PQ, PV, and Volt-Var (VV). The proposed approach dynamically optimizes reactive power dispatch and voltage setpoints, enabling effective coordination among distribution systems as a virtual power plant (VPP) to support the transmission network. The algorithm is applied to the IEEE 13-bus and IEEE-123 bus test systems, and its performance is validated by comparing results with OpenDSS simulations across various operating scenarios. Results show that the maximum error in the voltages is less than 0.015 pu.
