  1. The Effect of Voltage Reduction on a Single Phase Load System Amit Kanungo

  2. Organization • School of Engineering San Francisco State University • Center of Power Electronics and Motion Control • Industrial Assessment Center (DOE’s Energy Efficiency Program)

  3. Sponsors • APPA • DEED Student Research Grant • Alameda Power & Telecom • Electric and telecommunications municipal utility serving the City of Alameda, CA (Founded 1887) • Electric customers: 33,000 – Telecom customers: 15,000 • More than 80% electricity from renewable resources, 50% of it from geothermal power

  4. Outline • Our Concern • Background • Objective • Work Plan • Test Setup • Preliminary Result • Speculations & Limitations • Conclusion & Future Work

  5. Our Concern • Does it conserve energy? • Is performance degraded? • Safety of the device? • Is it convenient?

  6. Background • Why do this? • What work has been done on this issue? • What are the applications of this system? • What are the pros and cons?

  7. Objective • To study the effect of voltage reduction in energy savings • To understand the potential harmful side effects of the voltage reduction on different equipment • To compare the performance of the equipment at reduced voltage to that of nominal voltage with the existing voltage (120 volts)

  8. Work Plan • Testing of incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps under different voltage • Single phase motor testing under different loads when the input voltage is changed • Testing of computer power supply under different load conditions when input voltage is varied

  30. Preliminary Result Voltage vs. Input Power for ½ hp Single Phase Motoron Full Load

  31. Preliminary Result Voltage vs. Reactive Power for ½ hp Single Phase Motoron Full Load

  32. Preliminary Result Comparison of Efficiency of the ½ hp Motor at Different Load

  33. Preliminary Result Summary • As the voltage increases, the power proportionally increases with the lumen output for incandescent lamps • For compact fluorescent lamps, the lumen output doesn’t increase proportionally with the power and voltage • The input power approximately increases by 2% in each voltage change by keeping the output power almost constant for the single phase motor • The efficiency of the motor improves as it runs on full load

  34. Speculations and Limitations • Voltage reduction may have an effect on the lamp life • No data on dynamic behavior yet

  35. Conclusion & Future Work • Reduction of voltage reduces the power consumption and saves energy • The performance and reliability of these kind of lamps are excellent under this conditions • Input power varies linearly with the voltage for the motor • The efficiency of the motor improves as it runs from low load to full load on different voltages

  36. Conclusion & Future Work • To test the computer power supply under different load conditions (from processing an MS-Office to operating a graphic program) by varying the voltage. • To test HID lamps under varying voltage
