Abstract

Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) is employed for peak load reduction and energy savings by electric utilities. Selecting feeders where the most benefit is realized from CVR is of interest. In the work here the theoretical CVR performance of over 1000 distribution feeders is evaluated based on circuit models and available load data. The feeders with the best CVR performance are identified, and characteristics of the efficient performing feeders are described. In identifying efficient performing feeders, load-voltage dependency factors for summer and winter are used in quasi-steady state power flow analysis. In addition, the Volt/VAR Control (VVC) scheme of a feeder with poor CVR performance is redesigned to improve its CVR performance. Results show that there can be considerable energy savings from investments in control schemes to improve CVR performance.
