  • Method and device for improved under-frequency load shedding in electrical power systems
    Patent number: 11349309
    Abstract: A method and device for load shedding in an electrical power system is provided. The electrical power system includes a device that electrically couples one or more load feeder lines to the electrical power system, where each load feeder lines provides power to consumers. The method includes: monitoring the electrical frequency of the electrical power system and monitoring a frequency stability parameter, which is dependent on a rate of change of the electrical frequency. A control signal is generated to disconnect at least one load feeder line by the device when the monitored frequency is at or below at least a predetermined disconnection frequency threshold and the monitored frequency stability parameter is at or has passed at least one predetermined frequency stability parameter threshold.
