Distribution System Primary-Feeder Voltage Control III-Computer Program Application

Two companion papers1,2 discuss the engineering problems associated with distribution-system voltage control and describe a digital computer program for engineering investigations of alternative methods. The present paper 1. describes and evaluates the distribution-system voltage-control practices and method of primary-feeder analysis followed on the American Gas and Electric Company (AGE) System, 2. illustrates how the computer program was applied to a specific system problem, and 3. discusses possible modifications and extensions of the technique. It is concluded that the computer program may find application on the AGE System but that additional experience must be gained in its use to fully evaluate its potentialities.
