Emergency load reduction – Updated Code of Practice
Summary of Intent
The third edition of the National Rationalisation Specification (NRS) 048-9:2023 has been issued for public comment. This part of NRS 048 was developed to address the need for a national code of practice for real-time emergency load reduction and restoration of supply after a major system incident. The Code addresses not only the power system requirement (the load reduction required) but how this is done and communicated to have the least negative impact on critical infrastructure. The need for such a code arose after national load shedding was undertaken in South Africa in 2008. Requirements for extreme power system constraints and blackout restoration have also been included in the form of essential load requirements.Your membership level does not allow you access to this content.
