Description
Summary:An integrated process facility recently went through an update of its existing load shedding scheme due to planned process changes in the coming years. Transient simulations indicated that by changing the load shedding philosophy, the frequency profile during power shortages can be improved significantly. This paper discusses the industrial plant's electrical/steam load balance issues, and the development of a high speed load shedding scheme.
