Advanced Load-shedding Methodology and Architecture for Normal and Emergency Operation of the Italian Power System Titolo in italiano: Metodologie ed architetture avanzate di distacco carico per l’esercizio del sistema elettrico italiano in condizioni normali e di emergenza Autori: D.Lucarella, M.Pozzi (CESI) S.Massucco, F.Silvestro (Università di Genova) G.Giannuzzi, M.Sforna (GRTN) Sede di presentazione: San Francisco (USA) – June 2005 Titolo Manifestazione: 2005 IEEE General Meeting Abstract: The paper presents the actual situation and the ongoing development concerning load participation to power system security in Italy. It is intended as a contribution to a panel session organized by the Fast-Acting Load Control for System and Price Stability Task Force of the IEEE Power System Dynamic Performance Committee. The architecture of an integrated system for Security Control aimed at fronting alert and emergency situations and at implementing preventive control actions by means of load control is presented. Some operating experiences on load- shedding by interruptible loads for normal and emergency operation of the Italian power system are reported. PUBBLICATO A5026188 (PAD – 699077)
