	abstract = "The paper explores the potential to apply an artificial intelligence planning approach to a distribution network so as to manage voltage with much less dependency on human intervention which is usually required to set control targets for controllers. This is achieved by the integration between a load flow simulator and a planner. To validate the methodology, simulations of a network model were carried out for regular control target setting and the results were compared against the setting of tap positions generated by the planner which takes in information from the load flow simulation results. By comparison, it was found out that the planner can improve the settings with fewer changes in transformer tap positions whilst keeping the voltage within the requisite limits.",
