Report: The Effect of Voltage Regulation on Typical Loads
Regulating voltage magnitude is one of a number of electrical power quality controls that may be applied to a power distribution system. It will have a different effect depending on the type of lighting or motor loads. These will be considered separately.
North America is behind the curve when it comes to conservation voltage regulation and the energy saving opportunities it gives large facilities such as big box retail, large office, hotels, government. While it seems to be a relatively new component of energy audits and lighting retrofits, voltage optimization is becoming a critical consideration for managers of large facilities across several sectors.
Dr. William Dunford gives an detailed overview of the effects of voltage regulation on typical lighting and motor loads.
