Stretching low-voltage electrification networks by means of electronic voltage regulators

Opportunities exist for innovative technologies to be applied on networks to meet the new challenges to electrify numerous households in a short time period in developing countries. Of these households a large majority are in low-density rural areas. Electronic means of voltage regulation on long networks supplying areas are now possible in the form of electronic voltage regulators mounted on the secondary side of distribution transformers and service connection boxes along the feeders.
