Abstract :
Operating records of the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., revealed the existence of irregular fluctuations in the loads on generating stations and tie feeders. Tests were conducted to determine the response of parts of the system to changes in load, voltage, and frequency. By analyzing the test results to show the relation between these three quantities under various operating conditions, it was possible to establish the origin of the load swings, as well as to determine their magnitude, duration, and recurrence.
