SICAM Load Shedding (LS)

Why SICAM Load Shedding (LS)

SICAM LS is an advanced load shedding solution designed to maintain electrical grid stability, especially during critical events like sudden power loss. It automatically establishes and monitors the balance between generated and consumed power by shedding low-priority consumer feeders. This ensures grid reliability and prevents cascading failures.

Your benefits with SICAM LS Compact:

Balances Loads Seamlessly: Automatically calculates and maintains load equilibrium.
Smart Grid Topology: Automatically calculates grid topology for optimized responses.
Blackout Prevention: Proactively prevents blackouts through rapid load shedding.

Key benefits

Fast Reaction Time

Responds within 30–70 ms to critical grid events. This rapid detection and action minimize impact, ensuring stability, preventing outages, and maintaining continuous, reliable power delivery for critical systems.

Island-Aware Control

SICAM LS intelligently and automatically manages each grid island separately. This ensures stable, reliable power during grid separations, maintaining critical ops and minimizing disruptions with autonomous, localized control.

Improved visibility and control

SICAM LS provides real-time, comprehensive grid insights. This enhanced visibility gives operators precise control for proactive decisions, optimized resources, and swift responses, ensuring grid stability and efficiency.

Featured capabilities

Fast Power-Based Load Shedding (FPLS)

During critical events, FPLS calculates the exact power to shed and triggers shedding within 30–70 ms, ensuring rapid balance restoration across multiple grid islands.

Dynamic Power-Based Load Shedding (DPLS)

When operating in island mode, DPLS continuously monitors spinning reserve and sheds low-priority loads to maintain stability, preventing overloads and ensuring continuous operation.

Frequency-Based Load Shedding (FBLS)

FBLS acts as a backup, using distributed frequency relays to initiate shedding at predefined thresholds, with staged time delays to avoid unnecessary actions and monitor rate of change for faster response.
