Abstract :
An interruptible load management (ILM) scheme is proposed using dynamic optimal power flow analysis. It enables real-time selection of interruptible loads incorporating power network constraints and dynamic restriction on generation, viz. ramp-rate limits. The model provides an analytical framework for addressing several important issues associated with optimal selection of load curtailment, e.g. advance notification for load curtailment, short-term price discounts and long-term discounts on demand-charges, power factor of the load and customer-cost associated with the load to be curtailed, and power system security. A six-bus example illustrates the proposed methodology
