CVR technique is a common technique that is used for peak reduction and energy saving. The behaviour of loads particularly in distribution system against voltage needs to be assessed to determine the potential benefit of CVR implementation. In the case for residential customers, CVR is more applicable and effective for constant resistance loads. Constant resistance load such as water heater, kettle and microwave equipment has higher CVR factor. Thus, households can benefit from CVR as the reduction in voltage does reduce the power consumed by these equipment. CVR does not only reduce the energy consumed by consumer but also reduces the technical losses of the system. With the reduction in voltage the utility can benefit from the technical losses in the network. The higher the reduction the lower the losses in the system. This study also covers the CVR analysis for electric vehicle (EV) as the demand for EV is increasing. KeyTerms — CVR. EV and Substation
