Our Distribution Efficiency Calculator is nearing completion with essential upgrades aimed at improving programming capabilities. Key features include a method to override voltage regulator settings, allowing for accurate savings calculations from feeders up to substations that implement voltage control. The project also incorporates savings assessment from power transformers and double checks I2R loss calculations. Estimated costs run between $10,000 to $25,000, depending on the VBA programmer’s rate. Project oversight will require approximately 40-80 hours of programming and 24 hours of management.

Distribution Efficiency Calculator It’s Almost Ready…
Calculator Upgrades and Cost Upgrades that require programming • Include a method for overriding the voltage regulator settings. • This will allow calculation of savings from all feeders from substations that employ voltage control at the substation level • Include savings from the substation power transformer • Double check the calculation of I2R losses • Estimated Cost: $10,000 to $25,000 • Assumes 40 to 80 hrs of VBA programmer and 24 hrs of K.C. Fagen’s time to oversee the project • VBA programmer price varies dramatically • Funding? • NEEA Dropped Out • Any interest? Other work and future decision to be made • Measure Life • Scale based on measures chosen • Load Shapes • Waiting on 8760 data from NEEA study • Specifications • Technical • Program
