Home / Relay Protection Low-Frequency Load Shedding Scheme
The load-shedding solution ensures a swift disconnection of low-priority loads after detection of a power network disturbance. It is designed to utilize the full potential of the IEC 61850 standard for communication and interoperability of substation automation devices. It provides background information on power system behavior, reviews existing practices, and discusses the functionalities of typical. Power system stability is defined as the ability of a power system to remain in an operational equilibrium state under normal operating conditions and to evolve to an acceptable equilibrium state after a disturbance.

The under frequency load shedding (UFLS) approach represents a compromise between a quasi-linear control target and a rigid fixed pre-set load disconnection. The modern technical solutions (e.g. digital
It stipulates an acceptable range for the main factors that define an UFLS scheme, namely: the number of load shedding steps, the percentage of load shed in each step, and the accuracy of the frequency
Abstract—Underfrequency load shedding (UFLS) has been used for decades to maintain the balance of load and generation after a loss of generation. Some underfrequency relays are set with long time
Load shedding is activated when the line frequency becomes too low (under-frequency load shedding, UFLS) or the line voltage is below the specified level (under-voltage load shedding, UVLS).
The traditional load shedding schemes monitors the frequency and voltage by underfrequency and undervoltage relays and provides load cutoff until the frequency returns to a
