Contingency-based load shedding
First Claim
1. A system for contingency-based load shedding in an electrical power distribution system, comprising:
- a data bus;
a processor in communication with the data bus; and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium in communication with the data bus, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing information comprising;
a data set comprising a priority list associating at least one priority with a plurality of loads connected to an electrical power distribution system;
a power system monitoring module executable on the processor and configured to monitor the electrical power distribution system and detect a first contingency trigger associated with a first contingency;
an event window module executable on the processor and configured to identify, within a contingency window following the first contingency;
a first change in topology of the electric power distribution system specified by the first contingency,a second change in topology affecting at least one of a plurality of sources in electrical communication with the plurality of loads, anda contingency event associated with the first contingency; and
a load shedding module executable on the processor and configured to selectively shed at least one of the plurality of loads based on the priority list based upon the identification of the first change in topology, the second change in topology, and the contingency event each occurring within the contingency window.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are a variety of systems and methods for management of an electric power generation and distribution system. According to various embodiments, a system consistent with the present disclosure may be configured to analyze a data set comprising a plurality of generator performance characteristics of a generator at a plurality of operating conditions. The performance characteristics may be used to produce a generator capability model. The generator capability model may comprise a mathematical representation approximating the generator performance characteristics at the plurality of operating conditions. The system may further produce an estimated generator capacity at a modeled condition that is distinct from the generator performance characteristics of the data set and is based upon the generator capability model and may implement a control action based on the estimated generator capacity at the modeled condition.
