This study evaluated a prototype load modeling procedure developed by the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) in EPRI project RP849-3. Tests were run on three different power systems to evaluate the procedure's accuracy in modeling the dynamic power response of loads (active and reactive) when subjected to limited excursions of voltage and frequency. In support activities, guidelines were developed for the load modeling procedure, and possible data sources for it were investigated. The period of performance was September 1976 to July 1980. The work accomplished is reported in a final report of four volumes. In this volume guidelines are developed for a load modeling procedure, and induction motor characteristics and their effect on system stability are examined.
