Abstract
The Distribution Efficiency Initiative consisted of two independent projects. The load research project monitored and controlled the voltage at 395 homes, whereas the pilot demonstration project monitored and controlled the voltage at the substation/feeder level. The study concluded by employing distribution efficiencies and voltage optimization energy, demand, and showed that reactive power could be reduced without adversely impacting customers at a cost of 1 to 5 mills per kilowatt-hour saved (1 mill = $0.001).
