Abstract :
Flight Power and Light (FP&L) is involved in the development and testing of a large, computer-based master station for implementing its load management program. The direct load control (DLC) function of the FP&L load-management system (LMS) has several unique features and provides a comprehensive range of functions for the effective utilization of the available load-control capacity. The authors discuss the design of the DLC function implemented in the master station. Specifically, they focus on the scheduling and utilization flexibilities provided in the design to yield valuable system resource.<>
