Deployment of Conservation Voltage Reduction in Sample Feeders: A Systemwide Energy-Savings Analysis

The estimation of energy-savings analysis based on conservation voltage reduction (CVR) deployment is fundamental to establish its effectiveness. Historically, utilities conduct pilot CVR projects on a limited number of feeders where the time series (TS) voltage and power data are measured, preprocessed, and utilized in a mathematical model for energy-savings calculation for each individual CVR-deployed feeder. The challenge is establishing energy savings in large-scale projects where CVR is running on thousands of feeders, and feeder-by-feeder data processing and savings analysis could be cumbersome.
