Utilization of Advanced Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) for Energy Reduction on DoD Installations

Abstract

This project entitled Utilization of Advanced Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) for Energy Reduction on DoD Installations successfully demonstrated how Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR), applied on the Fort Myer distribution system and combined with MicroCVR in buildings, could save between 3% and 6% in installation electricity consumption. In fact, the project demonstrated 8% to 10% savings based on the combined technology. Under this project, energy savings occurred passively without requiring changes in human behavior. The project exploited infrastructure investments that the Defense Department had already made without requiring nonstandard modifications to the system.
