1306 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON POWER SYSTEMS, VOL. 29, NO. 3, MAY 2014 Review on Implementation and Assessment of Conservation Voltage Reduction Zhaoyu Wang, Student Member, IEEE, and Jianhui Wang, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract— Conservation voltage reduction (CVR) is widely The earliest reported CVR test was performed by American adopted by utilities for peak demand reduction and energy sav- Electric Power System (AEP) in 1973 [3]. After that, many util- ings through reducing the voltage level of the electrical distribution ities such as Southern California Edison (SCE) [4], Northeast system. This paper presents an in-depth review on implementing and assessing CVR. The methodologies to quantify CVR effects Utilities (NU) [5], Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) [6], are categorized into comparison-based, regression-based, syn- BC Hydro [7], Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) thesis-based and simulation-based methods. The implementation [8], Hydro Quebec (HQ) [9], and Dominion Virginia Power [10] strategies for voltage reduction are classified into open-loop conducted their CVR tests and obtained significant outcomes and closed-loop methods. The impacts of emerging smart-grid of energy savings associated with voltage reduction, usually technologies on CVR are also discussed. The paper can provide researchers and utility engineers with further insights into the ranging from 0.3% to 1% load reduction per 1% voltage re- state of the art, technical barriers and future research directions duction. Recent studies show that deployment of CVR on all of CVR technologies.
