- Title
Interruptible load considerations in well-being analysis of interconnected systems.

- Abstract
Adequate operating reserve is required in an electric power system in order to maintain a desired level of reliability throughout a given period of time. Interruptible load can be considered as a part of the system operating reserve if it is required. The inclusion of interruptible load in the assessment of unit commitment in interconnected systems is illustrated in this paper using a well-being framework. A technique is presented to determine the well-being indices of both isolated and interconnected systems with the inclusion of interruptible load. The impacts on the required number of committed units and the well-being indices of the amount of interruptible load and the corresponding interruption time are examined in this paper by application to a hypothetical system and to the IEEE-RTS. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
