Optimize Voltage Monitoring: Distinguishing Sags from Steady-State Readings for Enhanced Grid Performance
This white paper explores the importance of separating short-term voltage sags from steady-state voltage readings in distribution systems. By leveraging the Boomerang monitor and Canvass application, users can adjust averaging intervals to analyze voltage data for both rapid event detection and long-term trend analysis. The paper details how sliding window averaging algorithms help utilities comply with ANSI standards, optimize Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR), and improve system profiling by selecting appropriate time intervals for voltage data analysis.
Key topics include:
- Introduction to Voltage Monitoring
- The Boomerang Monitor and Canvass Application
- Calculating the Averaging Interval
- Specifying an Averaging Interval
- Selecting an Averaging Interval
- Case Studies: Effects of Different Averaging Windows
Why utilities should care:
Accurate separation of voltage sags from steady-state readings enables better compliance with standards, more effective CVR and volt/VAR optimization, and improved system reliability by ensuring voltage data reflects true operational conditions without distortion from transient events.
