Frequency is measured every half cycle and dfCOI/dt is
calculated. If dfCOI/dt is negative and lower than dfCOI,L/dt
(corresponding to the lowest load) according to the Table
1 we find N and shed loads. After shedding we measure
the frequency and obtain dfCOI/dt. Methodology will wait
for the frequency to go down below fCOI,L and for dfCOI/dt
to be negative for T half cycles to shed another load which
is located in the look up table.
To obtain a look up table we consider loads as fixed
amounts and find dfCOI/dt corresponding to a load by
