RTVVC™ VAR/Volt Control
Lower substation source voltage—and substantially reduce costs—with our automated VAR/volt solution. RTVVC™ software controls tap changers, capacitor banks, and line voltage regulators to flatten the voltage profile along distribution lines and maintain prescribed end-of-line voltage.
Product Features
- Distributed Intelligence
Place the decision making directly at the point of control. The RTVVC solution runs in each substation to provide automatic round-the-clock voltage conservation. -
Dynamic end-of-line detection
Continually monitor switching configurations to calculate dynamic end-of-line changes. -
Real-Time Voltage Data
Acquire real-time voltage data from multiple points on each feeder, either directly or via your AMI system. - Control for multiple feeders
Automatically account for the effects of tap change settings on all circuits fed from the substation. - Multiple vendor support
Blend devices from different vendors. RTVVC software is certified to work with products from multiple manufacturers. - Remote monitoring
Measure, record, and report real-time energy savings that result from the use of the RTVVC solution. - Planning assistance
Identify optimal placement of capacitor banks, line regulators, and other devices. RTVVC software can help you build a more intelligent, efficient network.
RTVVC software runs on standard, Windows*-based servers or hardened systems available from many manufacturers. It is a member of the RTscada™ family of products, which interoperate to power the Smart Grid—from field device to substation to control center—and integrate seamlessly with all enterprise systems.
