Regulation is when the voltage is regulated (higher or lower, where stabilization is a fixed value which you wish to maintain at a satiable level.

Zener is a particular diode uses for VOLTAGE STABILIZATION, REGULATION and VOLTAGE CONTROL. In fact the Major use is STABILIZATION and NO VOLTAGE REGULATION. For This use is preferred TRANSISTOR
