With the simulator, Intelligent Load Shedding (ILS) recommendations can be tested and analyzed before taking the system online. Steady-state and transient conditions can be simulated to analyze Intelligent Load Shedding (ILS) system response.
The following conditions and triggers can be simulated:
Loss of generation
Under-frequency
Mechanical failures
Steam pressure decay
Other conditions leading to load shed

Steady-state and dynamic system response can be confirmed and analyzed using ETAP simulation capabilities such as Load Flow and Transient Stability. The ILS simulator utilizes both simulated and real-time operating data. It is the perfect tool for predicting the system response and load shedding actions for "What If" scenarios or upon modifications to the existing load shedding schemes, load additions, and interlock modifications. After ILS logic is approved with the appropriate access level, the controller can easily update the server without taking the system online or interrupting server operation.
