IEEE PES Atlanta Technical Talk – Southern Company’s Approach to Integrating Large Loads

As large computational loads continue to pursue rapid interconnection to the bulk power system, utilities must address a new set of operational and reliability challenges that extend beyond traditional load service planning. This presentation provides Southern Company’s perspective on integrating large transmission-connected loads, with a focus on power-electronic load behavior, fast ramping capability, voltage and frequency impacts, and the need for clear expectations before facilities become operational.
