Abstract
Conservation voltage reduction (CVR) is widely adopted by utilities for peak demand reduction and energy savings through reducing the voltage level of the electrical distribution system. This paper presents an in-depth review on implementing and assessing CVR. The methodologies to quantify CVR effects are categorized into comparison-based, regression-based, synthesis-based and simulation-based methods. The implementation strategies for voltage reduction are classified into open-loop and closed-loop methods. The impacts of emerging smart-grid technologies on CVR are also discussed. The paper can provide researchers and utility engineers with further insights into the state of the art, technical barriers and future research directions of CVR technologies.
