DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS – QUEENSLAND- AUSTRALIA | The Energy Conservation through Voltage Reduction Phase 3 Trial | “The Low Voltage Reduction on all three sites provided energy savings, demand reductions and some power factor correction, demonstrating that with careful site selection, energy savings are possible through the use of voltage regulation. Energy (kWh) and demand (kW) reductions in the range of 5% to 13% were observed.” | 2015 |
