Sensitivity Analyses of CVR Measurement and Verification Methodologies to Data Availability and Quality

Electric utilities deploy Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) and Volt-VAR Optimization (VVO) programs to reduce energy consumption and peak demand by lowering the voltage on the distribution system. These programs offer a cost-effective way to improve system-wide energy efficiency and to provide b...
