Load modeling for power flow and transient stability computer studies

Abstract

A novel method is presented for preparing load models for power flow and stability studies. The LOADSYN load model synthesis software package transforms data on load class mix, composition, and characteristics into the form required for commonly used flow and transient stability simulation programs. Typical default data have been developed for load composition and characteristics. The load-modeling techniques used in this software and results of initial testing are described. Significant improvements in simulation accuracy are demonstrated. >
