Today’s voltage optimization (VO) technology helps utility companies solve many problems. VO utilizes sophisticated software that enables system voltages to be maintained at the lower end of national standards while complying with standards for safety and performance, reducing losses and deferring investments to new assets.

The challenge to this technology lies in up-front investment and the ability to convince all the players of the benefits. This playbook, provided by DVI, will solidify each utility stakeholder in the understanding that VO is the right investment for both utility and consumer interests. For example:

• VO supports renewable energy integration, system resilience and power reliability.
• States that use VO yield power grids that are more resilient and flexible, saving ratepayers money.
• VO is a foundational technology for grid modernization, supporting emerging revenue streams like electric vehicle charging.
