Voltage Fluctuation Reduction of Industry with Voltage Regulator (VR) on Power Distribution System

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a comparison between two methods of voltage regulation of over sending-end voltage in case of the load located near a substation. The first method is using tab change of power transformer and the other is the installation of voltage regulator in a factory. In the process, voltage level is completely measured before and after the installation of techniques, and is slightly decreased until it approaches to the lowest demand of loads, which can normally operate in the plant. The sequent test results show that the first method, sending-end voltage control via voltage regulator, can reduce squandered energy up to 8.3%, can also save energy up to 6.8% which is higher than the result of adjusting power transformer tap.
