Voltage Conservation Using Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Substation Centralized Voltage Control

摘要

A voltage control and energy conservation system, comprising: a substation configured to supply electrical power to a plurality of user locations; a smart meter located at one of the plurality of user locations and configured to generate smart meter data based on a measured component of electrical power received by the smart meter; and a voltage controller configured to generate an energy delivery parameter based on the smart meter data, wherein the substation is further configured to adjust a voltage set point value of the electrical power supplied to the plurality of user locations based on the energy delivery parameter, and wherein the smart meter is configured to operate in a report-by-exception mode and sua sponte send the smart meter data to the voltage controller when the measured component of electrical power is determined to be outside of a target component band.
