A new Navigant report examines the market for volt/volt-ampere reactive power (Volt/VAR) management and optimization technologies, providing global market forecasts, broken out by technology segment, ...

A voltage controller placed at the point of interconnection measures the utility’s line voltage and compares it to the desired level. It then computes the amount of reactive power needed to bring the ...

In early 2006, KCP&L executives looked for ways to reduce system peak demand. The distribution automation engineering group proposed a voltage reduction option called dynamic voltage control (DVC).

Using voltage data down to the consumer level is essential for grid optimisation and operational flexibility in the new era of intermittent generation and fast-changing user demand. Power grids were ...

The ISL78223 is a high-performance zero-voltage switching(ZVS) full-bridge PWM controller. It achieves ZVS operation by driving the upper bridge FETs at a fixed 50% duty cycle while the lower bridge ...
