How to calculate Voltage Regulation of 11 KV line

  Voltage Regulation: It is a measure of change in the voltage magnitude between sending end and receiving end of a component, such as Transmission or Distribution line. Voltage regulation Formula: %VR= Vs-Vr    x  100                 Vs Permissible Voltage Regulation in distrDistrib System: Permissible Voltage Regulation as per REC: Part of Distribution System Urban Area (%) Suburban Area (%) Rural Area (%) Up to Transformer 2.5 2,5 2.5 Up to Service Main 3 2 0.0 Up to Service Drop 0.5 0.5 0.5 Total 6.0 5.0 3.0 Voltage variations in 33 kV and 11kV feeders should not exceed the following limits at the farthest end under peak load conditions and normal system operation regime. Above 33kV (-) 12.5% to (+) 10%. Up to 33kV (-) 9.0% to (+) 6.0%. Low voltage (-) 6.0% to (+) 6.0% Sometimes it can be difficult to achieve the required voltage, especially in rural areas . Part of the reason for the high voltage drop in rural areas it due to the fact that these areas are usually further was from
