Combined Effect of CVR and DG Penetration in the Voltage Profile of Low-Voltage Secondary Distribution Networks
This study modeled three New York City networks to examine how distributed generation can alleviate localized low-voltage violations during conservation voltage reduction. The work found that relatively small levels of DG penetration can improve voltage regulation and support deeper voltage reductions under critical operating conditions.
