    This document discusses voltage regulation. It describes step-voltage regulators which use autotransformers to adjust voltage in 32 steps of 0.625% for boosting or bucking voltage. It discusses settings for voltage regulation relays like desired output voltage, bandwidth, and time delay. It also describes line drop compensators to regulate voltage at downstream points and issues that can arise from loads tapped off the feeder. The document provides examples of using voltage regulators and capacitors to regulate feeder voltage within desired criteria. It briefly mentions automation of voltage regulation devices and voltage fluctuations.

    Voltage Regulators
    Spring 2014

    Typical Voltage Profile from Substation to Customer

    Step-Voltage Regulator
    These devices are essentially autotransformers with adjustable turns in the
    series winding.
    They usually have a maximum voltage
    regulation range of 10% of the incoming line
    voltage in 32 steps of 5/8% or 0.625%.
    16 steps for buck, and
    16 steps for boost.

    Voltage Regulation Relay Settings


    Set Voltage (desired output voltage)
    Bandwidth (difference between measured voltage and set
    voltage) typically between 0.75 V and 1.5 V.
    Time Delay (waiting time between when the voltage goes out
    of band and when the controller initiates the tap change)

    10-120 sec
    114-126 V

    .75 -1.5 V

    Line Drop Compensator (LDC)


    The voltage can be regulated at a point downstream by
    adjustable resistance and reactance elements of the LDC
    located in the control panel.
    These settings are approximate (at best) when a load is tapped
    off the feeder between the regulator and the regulating point.

    Voltage Regulator Placement


    Utility AVRs can be installed out on the feeders or at the
    substation bus.
    The voltage regulator units could either be single-phase or threephase. However, on a three-phase feeder, it is more common in
    utility applications to use single-phase units.

    Example
    LTC holds Vp constant at 1.035 pu (due to changes in subtransmission voltage and voltage drop across transformer).
    Sub-transmission voltage varies between 1.05 pu and 1.00 pu.
    Feeder voltage criteria: not to go below 0.967 pu

    Example (cont.)

    A shunt capacitor or a
    voltage regulator is needed.

    Example (cont.)
    Desire regulation input at 1.01 pu s1 = 1.75 mi
    LDC disabled, and regulation output = 1.035 pu.
