A new load model suitable for transient stability analysis with large voltage disturbances

Load model has great impacts on the power system simulation results, while in transient stability analysis the traditional load models have some disadvantages which can´t describe the load shedding characteristic when low voltage disturbances happened. Thus, a new load model is proposed in this paper after the investigation of the field measurement data and the load characteristics of some equipment under low voltage. Several new parameters describing the load shedding characteristic are provided in the new load model which can be derived by identifying the field data. With these new parameters, the load difference caused by the load shedding during the low voltage disturbances can be well illustrated. The improved load model has larger application ranges and better properties in describing the nature of the load dynamic behaviors during the transient stability analysis which also improves the reliability of the simulation. The field measurement data illustrate its efficiency.
