Example: Distribution Grid Volt/Var Effect on
Available DR
• Use Case
– Feeder Voltage: 13.8 kV
– Feeder Base Load: 9 MW with Unity Power Factor: 3 MW Constant
Impedance (Z); 3 MW Constant Current (I); 3 MW Constant Power (P)
– Participating DR: 900 kW with 0.8 Lag Power Factor
– Remaining load after deployment of DR: 8,100 kW with Lead Power
Factor
– Feeder Voltage Increase due to Lead Power Factor: 1.5%
– Increase in base load due to voltage increase: 135 kW
– Net Demand Reduction: 900-135 = 765 kW
