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)

    “The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces; what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.”
    —Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    “No civilization ... would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change. Foremost among the stabilizing factors, more enduring than customs, manners and traditions, are the legal systems that regulate our life in the world and our daily affairs with each other.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
