Abstract :
This paper covers load rejection tests performed upon subcritical units of the American Electric Power System. These tests were performed in order to gain insight into the response of units to full load rejection, and to see if a unit could successfully carry its electrically driven auxiliaries for several hours, otherwise disconnected from the system.
