IEEE Guide for Assessing, Measuring, and Verifying Volt-Var Control and Optimization on Distribution Systems
Electric utilities are seeking to improve the overall efficiency and performance of the distribution system while helping to achieve energy and demand savings. Distribution volt-var optimization (VVO) can play a major role in accomplishing these objectives while maintaining safety, preserving assets, and meeting all operating constraints such as loading and voltage levels. Initial studies and experience show there is significant potential for energy savings, demand management and loss reduction through improved management of distribution voltage profiles and reactive power flow. Consistent methods are needed for verifying the benefits achieved by VVO systems that have already been implemented. Guidelines for modeling system loads as well as distributed resources and their response to voltage and var changes are needed along with methods for performing the evaluations to estimate total benefits. These benefits can then be evaluated as a function of the investment requirements for the improved VVO on a feeder by feeder or substation by substation basis and deployment priorities can be developed.

IEEE Approved Draft Standard for Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) Data Collection and Management Procedures
Utilities face challenges in conducting measurement and verification in CVR deployed feeders. A standard is needed to provide procedures for electric utilities to determine the value of their CVR programs, define parameters for regulatory reporting, and define standardized verification methodology selection based on standard data collection methodologies. The purpose of this standard is to specify CVR data management and collection procedures for use by the electric utility industry to enable improved system operation.The stakeholders for this standard include Electric utilities, Electric utility equipment manufacturers, Software vendors, and Electric utility regulatory commissions.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
