The paper presents a Special Protection Scheme solution for the central Zagreb transmission system. The Central Zagreb transmission system is characterized by a highly meshed network with combined overhead and cable sections and a special operation of the 110 kV cable link between two power plants important for the city’s heat and electricity supply. The Special Protection Scheme is developed u...

In this paper, the effect of time dependence of control actions used to avoid voltage collapse, such as reactive power compensation and load shedding, is studied. A thorough justification of the phenomena under study is first presented with the help of a simple test system. The time dependence of the control actions is then studied in a real voltage collapse scenario of the Chilean Interconnec...

A temperature and rate-dependent crystal plasticity framework has been used to examine the temperature sensitivity of stress relaxation, creep and load shedding in model Ti-6Al polycrystal behaviour under dwell fatigue conditions. A temperature close to 120°C is found to lead to the strongest stress redistribution and load shedding, resulting from the coupling between crystallographic slip rate...

Research in the area of power system, incorporating optimal power flow and optimal load shedding, has been used in classical dispatch problems to determine control adjustments to remove line overloads. This paper reports a rule-based load shedding in a ship power system. To filter critical outages and congestion cases, a load shedding rule-based system is implemented. The algorithm searches for...

This paper proposes a methodology for the design of automatic load shedding against long-term voltage instability. In a first step, a set of training scenarios is set up, corresponding to various operating conditions and disturbances. Each scenario is analyzed to determine the minimal load shedding which stabilizes the system, with due consideration for the shedding location and delay. In a sec...

In this paper, a combinational optimization algorithm is introduced to obtain the best size and location of Static Compensator (STATCOM) in power systems. Its main contribution is considering contingency analysis where lines outages may lead to infeasible solutions especially at peak loads and it commonly can be vanished by load-shedding. The objective of the proposed algorithm is firstly to pr...

The requirement for minimized cost whilst preserving power system reliability necessitates the development of both efficient system security assessment approaches and appropriate emergency remedial actions. Load shedding is a type of corrective actions that is applied to save power system stability against severe disturbances. This paper proposes an optimal load shedding policy that takes into ...

BACKGROUND Patterns of influenza molecular viral shedding following influenza infection have been well established; predictors of viral shedding however remain uncertain. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine factors associated with peak molecular viral load, duration of shedding, and viral area under the curve (AUC) in children and adult Hutterite colony members with laboratory-confirmed influen...
