This paper explains a fast acting Under Frequency Load Shedding and restoration scheme. This load shedding technique has an added advantage of selecting the amount of load which is to be dropped at a particular frequency threshold. The amount of load dropping is selected based on the rate of change of the frequency. Automatic restoration of loads is discussed with engaging a command signal from the...
Electric power grids are designed to attempt to provide the same basic level of reliability to all consumers. With consumers having non-uniform preferences for reliability, the provision of one level of reliability at the same price for all consumers forces many to pay for reliability that they value less than the cost. Load control technology can decrease these equity problems by increasing the reliability...
Investigations of recent blackouts indicate that the root cause of almost all major power system disturbances is voltage collapse rather than the underfrequency conditions prevalent in the blackouts of the 1960s and '70s. This paper explores the nature of recent power system blackouts (2003 east coast, 1996 California and others) and explains why voltage is the leading edge indicator of impending...
Load shedding is the last-resort tool for use in an extreme situation arising due to generating power deficiency and the consequent drop in power system frequency, which lead to a system collapse. Load shedding becomes a common practice for electric utilities around the world. To be effective, load shedding should be simple, rapid, and decisive. This paper deals with the problem of using optimal load...
