ISGT NA '24 Tutorial 1: Conservation Voltage Reduction and Voltage Optimization with DERs: From Basics to Utility Practices (Slides)

This tutorial will focus on the conservation voltage reduction (CVR) implementation, innovation, deployment, and impact analysis with the consideration of DER integration. It is delivered by leading researchers and engineers who have been working on CVR-related field implementation and research. Real utility practices on CVR deployment and management with DERs, methodologies on assessing CVR energy saving, along with the lessons learned from field experience will be presented and discussed. Objectives: - Get familiar with and materialized on fundamental concepts on CVR and VO; - Be familiar with modeling, analytics and assessment methodologies of CVR and VO in distribution grids with DERs; - Learn a number of fields CVR implementation cases, experiences, and cost-benefit analysis for distribution circuits with DER integrated. - Get insights about power industry’s practices and activities on CVR and learn the latest technology development of CVR to accommodate DER integration.
