Low-Voltage Technology Scoping Study: Impact of Small Air Conditioning Units on Electrical System Voltage Recovery |
Southern California Edison
|
This project focuses on: a) selecting and acquiring representative residential and small commercial air conditioning units common in Southern California Edison (SCE) service territory and b) performing preliminary laboratory testing on some of these units to provide initial insights on their electrical behavior under low-voltage conditions. This project is part of a larger research project which will evaluate the impact of stalling air conditioning unit compressors on delayed electrical grid system voltage recovery after a system fault and investigates practical solutions to reduce/eliminate stalling. |
