1. A multi-stage dynamic auto-adaptive volt/VAR control, comprising:

  • memory storing program code;

    a communications channel operatively connected to a volt/VAR device;

    a processor configured to;

    access a database of prior system knowledge;

    receive real-time measurements and power system operating condition information;

    process the prior system knowledge and the real time measurements and operating condition information to create a set of commands for voltage and reactive power control that will result in at least one of;

    (a) maintaining a voltage profile at the volt/VAR device within predefined limits, or (b) reducing electrical losses through voltage optimization;

    cause the set of commands to be sent to the volt/VAR device through a plurality of stages in the time dimension.
