This paper highlights the comparison of a proposed methods named adaptive undervoltage load shedding based PTSI techniques for undervoltage load shedding and two previous methods named Fixed Shed Fixed Delay (FSFD) and Variable Shed Variable Delay (VSVD) for avoiding voltage collapse. There are three main area considerations in load shedding schemes as the amount of load to be shed, the timing of load shedding event, and the location where load shed is to be shed. The proposed method, named as adaptive UVLS based PTSI seem to be most appropriate among the uncoordinated schemes. From the simulation result can be shown the Adaptive UVLS based PTSI give faster response, accurate and very sensitive control for the UVLS control technique. This technique is effectively when calculating the amount to be shed. Therefore, it is possible to bring the voltage to the threshold value in one step. Thus, the adaptive load shedding can effectively reduce the computational time for control strategy.

Increasement of power demand rapid industrial growth has led the expansion of power system, and it caused construction of large power transmission line(like 765kV T/L) and substation. If there are T/L faults (route contingency etc), it lead to the large scale black out in SEOUL AREA (the center of load). To minimize damage which caused by the large scale black out, KEPCO selects the method of load shadding. In this work, instead of general method of load shadding, We study the application of UVLS model to decrease the load shadding in SEOUL AREA. The study result of using the UVLS model showed that the amont of load shadding can be decreased about 400 MW compare to the existing load shadding system.

This paper deals with improvements to the special protection schemes (SPS) which have been applied to the low probability and high impact contingencies in the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) system since 2004. Among them, the SPS for voltage instability in the Seoul metropolitan area is considered in this paper, and is a form of event-based undervoltage load shedding with a single-step scheme. Simulation results based upon a recent event that occurred on 765kV lines show that the current setting values of the SPS have to be revised and enhanced. In addition, by applying response-based multi-step undervoltage load shedding (UVLS) schemes to severe contingencies in the system, more effective results than those of the existing single-step SPS can be obtained. Centralized and distributed UVLS schemes are considered in the simulation. ULTC-based load recovery models and over excitation limiters (OXL) for the KEPCO system are also included in the long-term voltage instability studies.

The presence of induction motor loads in a power system may cause the phenomenon of delayed voltage recovery after the occurrence of a severe fault. A high proportion of induction motor loads in the power system can be a significant influence on the voltage stability of the system. This problem referred to as FIDVR(Fault Induced Delayed Voltage Recovery) is commonly caused by stall of small HVAC unit(Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioner) after transmission or distribution system failure. This delayed voltage recovery arises from the dynamic characteristics associated with the kinetic energy of the induction motor load. This paper proposes the UVLS (Under Voltage Load Shedding) control strategy for dealing with FIDVR. UVLS based schemes prevent voltage instability by shedding the load and can help avoid major economic losses due to wide-ranging cascading outages. This paper review recent topic about under voltage load shedding and compare decentralized load shedding scheme with conventional load shedding scheme. The load shedding strategy is applied to an actual system in order to verify the proposed FIDVR mitigation solution. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in resolving the problem of delayed voltage recovery in the Korean Power System.

계통에 발생하는 불안정 현상을 억제하기 위한 방법으로 저주파수 부하차단과 저전압 부하차단이 있다. 저전압 부하차단은 저주파수 부하차단에 비해 지역적 특성이 강하기 때문에 일반적인 기준이 제시되어 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 정적 모의를 통하여 저전압 기준치를 결정하는 기법을 제안하고 동적 모의를 통하여 이를 검증하고 시지연값도 결정하도록 하였다.

Load shedding is a last measure to avoid nationwide cascading collapses of power system by removing the pre-determined amount of loads from the main grid. In Korea, SPS(Special Protection System) is prepared to keep the power system stability from the extreme contingency of the critical transmission line losses. Among them, we need to pay attention to 765kV T/L’s because they have great influence on the total system stability. According to the present SPS operating guide, the total loads of 1,500MW should be removed through 2 step under-voltage load shedding(UVLS) scheme in case of 765kV T/L’s contingencies. However, it is not clear to defined how to determine the typical load reduction amounts for each case. This paper proposes a method to estimate appropriate amounts of load shed for 765kV T/L’s contingencies by analyzing the relevant national and international standards.

Recent technology advancement related to computer & communication and measuring devices allows system operators to adopt more intelligent monitoring and control systems to their power systems in order to prevent massive system blackout. Among them, wide-area monitoring and control(WAMAC) system based on synchro-phasor technology has been widely applied to power systems for their own purposes. In this paper, the study on the development of load shedding scheme to improve voltage stability in KEPCO system is introduced. Summary of WAMAC technology being developed and applied in the world through extensive literature survey is proposed. And methodology to develop voltage stability index and multi-step load shedding scheme based on synchro-phasor data is also presented.

본 논문은 계통의 광역정전을 야기할 수 있는 765kV 루트 고장에 대한 최적 부하차단 위치 및 용량산정 방안을 제안한다. 계통운영은 경제성 및 안정성을 모두 확보하여 운영되어야 하지만 이는 서로 상충되는 요소로서 적절한 운전점이 결정되어야 한다. 이를 위하여 융통 전력을 최대한 운용할 수 있는 융통한계를 결정하여 운영되어야 하며 계통이 융통한계로 운영될 때 이보다 심각한 선로고장(765kV 루트고장)에 대해서는 부하차단이 적용되어야 한다. 이때 차단되는 부하를 최소로 하여 계통을 안정화하는 방안이 필요하며 이를 위하여 본 논문에서는 융통전력 한계를 고려한 최적 부하차단 용량 및 위치선정 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Significant penetration of induction motor loads into residential neighborhood and commercial regions of local transmission systems at least partially determine a vulnerability to a fault induced delayed voltage recovery (FIDVR) event. Highly concentrated induction motor loads with constant torque could stall in response to low voltages associated with system faults. FIDVR is caused by wide spread stalling of small HVAC units (residential air conditioner) during transmission level faults. An under voltage load shedding scheme (UVLS) can be an effective component in a strategy to manage FIDVR risk and limit the any potential disturbance. Under Voltage Load Shedding take advantage of the plan to recovery the voltage of the system by shedding the load ways to alleviation FIDVR.

현재 운전 중인 765kV 선로는 평시 수도권 부하의 상당 부분을 담당하는 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있다. 이러한 선로에 고장이 발생하면 수도권에 심각한 전압 불안정 현상이 발생하게 된다. 이에 대비하여 현재 765kV 선로 차단 시 부하를 차단하는 SPS(고장파급방지장치)를 운영중이다. 그러나 현재 운영중인 SPS는 정적인 검토만을 통하여 설계되었다. 따라서 과부족 차단에 의한 계통의 과전압 혹은 저 전압 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문은 우리나라에 UVLS 시스템을 적용 하기위한 타당성 검토의 선행과정으로 현재 운영중인 SPS의 부하 차단량이 실제 계통 상황을 고려 시 적정한지에 대한 검토를 실시하고자 한다.
