Smart Grid Application: Voltage ConservationSmart Grid Application: Voltage ConservationPrecision Voltage ControlPrecision Voltage Control
• Application enabled by Smart Grid Technology
U t lt f db k f t t (AMI)• Uses customer voltage feedback from smart meters (AMI)
• Controls voltage to a more precise level
• Results in 4% reduction in off‐peak kWhs
• Improved Delivery of Electricity
