Underfrequency load shedding

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7142082

Underfrequency load shedding, which usually follows separation of a power system into islands, is an emergency control means designed to suppress further decay of system integrity. The purpose of this study is to formulate and analyze the problem of underfrequency load shedding, with special regard to stability, robustness, and coordination between different control areas within an island. This treatment complements and broadens studies of a simple first order model of frequency dynamics.
