METHODS AND DEVICES FOR MANAGING LOAD SHEDDING IN A RESOURCE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

Abstract: load shedding is implemented in a resource distribution network to avoid overconsumption. the network comprises at least one network head and a plurality of meters configured to measure consumption of said resource by a customer and to transmit to the network head customer information representative of the customer's consumption over a given time range. based on the customer information transmitted by the meters, a overall forecast consumption is determined for all meters for the specified time period. one or more load-shedding periods are determined by comparing the overall forecast consumption with a predefined overall threshold. for each one, the meters to be load-shed are selected according to the expected load-shedding gains for the meters in question. furthermore, a load-shedding command is sent to them, concerning one or more future occurrences within the specified time range.
