THE ROLE OF VOLT VAR OPTIMIZATION (VVO)

Reactive power is an unusable type of power, and high VAR levels translate to energy waste and increased peak demands for energy production.  While there are several ways to reduce reactive power, MICATU's optical sensors are better than traditional line sensors in successfully implementing VVO.

The Role of Volt Var Optimization (VVO)

 

Reducing energy losses is a critical step towards improved profitability in the energy sector. MICATU's optical sensors can dramatically minimize the amount of energy lost in the distribution system while maintaining the voltage levels needed by customers and regulated by law.

In this white paper, we discuss:

  • 1
    COMMON VVO ACTUATION ELEMENTS AND THEIR LIMITATIONS
  • 2
    HOW MICATU’S OPTICAL SENSORS IMPROVE EXISTING VVO CONFIGURATIONS
  • 3
    HOW TO AVOID VVO OVER/UNDER-COMPENSATION DUE TO PHASE SHIFTS
