TLDR
In this article, a comprehensive underfrequency protection program was developed for the Southern electric system in which digital computer simulations were used to optimize a system wide load shed program and to verify its coordination with a steam turbine-generator under-frequency protection scheme.
Abstract
A system disturbance or operating abnormality may leave a power system with a generation deficiency, which, if uncorrected, can result in an extensive power outage. The possibility of such disturbances has led to increased interest in the application of automatic underfrequency protection schemes to restore load/generation balance and to prevent equipment damage. This paper presents a comprehensive underfrequency protection program recently developed for the Southern electric system in which digital computer simulations were used to optimize a system- wide load shed program and to verify its coordination with a steam turbine-generator underfrequency protection scheme.

Self-healing in power systems: an approach using islanding and rate of frequency decline-based load shedding

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a self-healing strategy to deal with catastrophic events when power system vulnerability analysis indicates that the system is approaching an extreme emergency state, and a load shedding scheme based on the rate of frequency decline is applied.

Abstract: This paper provides a self-healing strategy to deal with catastrophic events when power system vulnerability analysis indicates that the system is approaching an extreme emergency state. The system is adaptively divided into smaller islands with consideration of quick restoration. Then an adaptive load shedding scheme based on the rate of frequency decline is applied. The proposed scheme is tested on a 179-bus, 20-generator sample system and shows very good performance.

Computer representation of excitation systems

TL;DR: This paper suggests a common nomenclature and control system representation of the various excitation systems now available that can be used to define input data requirements for computer programs, and can provide a consistent format in which manufacturers can respond to requests for excitation system data to be used for system studies.

Determination of frequency decay rates during periods of generation deficiency

TL;DR: In this article, a method of determining the maximum probable rates at which power system frequency will decay following a disturbance which results in an overload on the available generation is described, based on the maximum electrical load which a generator-transformer combination will accept as a function of the characteristics of the unit and the system to which it is connected and the initial operating conditions.

Off-frequency turbine-generator unit operation

TL;DR: In this article, the design of steam turbines and the operation of turbogenerators are discussed and it is concluded that since generator components may over heat during off-frequency operation, power plant operators must use prudence when allowing turboglenerator frequencies to move away from the normal level.
