Abstract :
This paper describes field trials of voltage reduction on nine distribution circuits. The median CVR factor was 0.6 on these circuits. Results were normalized using measurements from nearby comparable circuits. Advanced metering infrastructure data on some circuits allowed comparison by customer type. On one circuit, commercial customers had lower CVR factors than residential customers. For residential customers, CVR factors were lower for customers with higher winter loads.
