An Energy Efficient Method to Reduce Power Loss and Power Consumption in Distribution System

Abstract

Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) is the most adopted energy efficient technology. It is adopted in the distribution system due to its effectiveness in achieving a reduction in power consumption and peak reduction. In this article the concept of CVR is integrated with VAr optimization to enhance the voltage levels of the network within bounds, to reduce line losses and to decrease the power consumption of the network. All simulations have been performed in the IEEE-33 node system assuming different levels of loads such as RE, CO and IN is to be connected at different buses of the system. A comparative analysis of power demand and other performance parameters have been presented for three different cases. The impact of CVR effects has been tested for two different voltage conditions.
