Using Volt/VAR Controls in Demand Response

摘要

Demand response functionality today and tomorrow for electric utilities. While electric utilities have invested in demand response approaches for more than 30 years, the advent of renewable distributed generation coupled with demand growth is pushing utilities to enhance demand response capabilities. Along with a variety of direct load control systems, Distribution System Demand Response (DSDR) - also known as Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) -is a demand response option that utilities can use in a variety of situations, without any impact to the consumer.
