Voltage Regulation - Electrical Power Systems

Electrical Power Systems

In electrical power systems it is a dimensionless quantity defined at the receiving end of a transmission line as:

Failed to parse (Missing texvc executable; please see math/README to configure.): Voltage Regulation(VR) = \frac{V_{nl} - V_{Rated}}{V_{Rated}} \times 100\

where Vnl is voltage at no load and VRated is voltage at full load. A smaller value of Voltage Regulation is usually beneficial.

The Voltage Regulation formula could be visualized with the following; "Consider power being delivered to a load such that the voltage at the load is the load's rated voltage VRated, if then the load disappears, the voltage at the point of the load will rise to Vnl."

Famous quotes containing the words electrical, power and/or systems:

    Few speeches which have produced an electrical effect on an audience can bear the colourless photography of a printed record.
    Archibald Philip Primrose, 5th Earl Rosebery (1847–1929)

    O power of fantasy that steals our minds from things outside, to leave us unaware, although a thousand trumpets may blow loud—what stirs you if the senses show you nothing? Light stirs you, formed in Heaven, by itself, or by His will Who sends it down to us.
    Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)

    The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.
