This paper presents theory of the "Cold Load Harmonic", CLHARM, model algorithm for SbUlatiOG of power feeder currents resulting from both Cold Load Pickup, CLPU, and the "Step Voltage Test", STEPV. The STEPV method is also presented.Feeder parmeters obtained from field STEPV measurement are used to predict CLPU on that feeder using the C L " algorithm. STEPV test measurements and actual measured CLPU currents on the same feeder are compared with computer prediction;. The CLHARM aggregates feeder thermostatically controlled load to simulate regain of diversity during outage restoration. All feeder weather sensitive load is lumped in CLHARM, using mean parameter values of a simple thermodynamic model. The ultimate objective of this work is experimentally obtained feeder "signatures" for CLPU prediction as e feeder design tool.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
