In this paper, we use real consumption and generation data on a low-voltage CIGR\'E grid model and an experiment on a real distribution grid feeder to analyze how different Volt/VAr methods can enhance grid capacity, i. e., by how much they can improve the grid's capability to transmit active power without building new lines.

On a real distribution grid, we compare the local Volt/VAr droop control recommended in recent grid codes, a centralized dispatch based on optimal power flow (OPF) programming, and a feedback optimization (FO) controller that we propose.
