In 1971, the Electric Research Council started Research Project 90-7, Long-Term System Dynamics. The purpose of this project and its successors was to develop a simulation capability for analyzing major power system disturbances for periods of up to twenty minutes following the initial event of the disturbance. The resulting computer software, which has been named LOTDYS, contains representations of hydro, coal-fired, and boiling water reactor generating units. The goal of this research project was to develop a low-order model for a pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant for use with power system simulation programs such as LOTDYS.
