A new composite load model structure for industrial facilities

Abstract

In this paper, a new generic composite load model structure for industrial facilities is proposed, which consists of four main loads, an induction motor, a synchronous motor, a motor drive system, and a static load. This structure can be applied to existing or future industry facilities. Major factors to be considered when developing this new composite load model are demonstrated. To achieve the final composite load model for an industrial facility of interest, a two-step procedure is recommended in this paper. Step 1 is to create a power system full model for existing or future industrial facilities. In this step, the full model for existing facilities can be created with the known system configurations and electrical single-line diagrams; while the full model for future industrial facilities with unknown system configurations can be created using the template-based load modeling technique. Step 2 is to perform effective load aggregation in order to obtain a simplified equivalent load model in the format of the proposed composite load model structure for industrial facilities.
