Abstract

Distribution feeder and load model reduction methods are essential for maintaining a good tradeoff between accurate representation of grid behavior and reduced computational complexity in power system studies. An effective algorithm to obtain a reduced order representation of the practical feeders using utility topological and loading data has been presented in this paper. Simulations conducted in this work show that the reduced feeder and load model of a utility feeder, obtained using the proposed method, can accurately capture contactor and motor stalling behaviors for critical events such as fault induced delayed voltage recovery.
