Comparison and verification of load model based on PSASP

Abstract

In load model verification process, the accuracy of model and its parameters makes the actual operating conditions unable to reappear in simulation. The information deviation between measured data and verifiable simulation data makes it impossible to ensure the descriptive power of measurement-based load model for real load characteristics. With this problem, the paper applies closed-loop verification approach to this question for the first time. The closed-loop verification approach is common in system identification study but newly used in load model comparison and validation. Two cases based on PSASP are studied in the paper. The object of this study is composite load model and the verification is carried out on a 10-generator, 39-bus New England power system. They both prove the validity of composite load model and the feasibility of this verification approach.
