The Powerlink Energy Load Management System (LMS) consists of a software suite that runs at a Powerlink SCADA Master and controls the total system load by issuing shed or restore commands to the Injection Control plant at the points of injection. Metering pulses are collected from the Points Of Supply (POS) and returned to the LMS where it determines any shed or restores response. Powerlink LMS is a proven system widely used throughout New Zealand by Lines and Energy companies.

With the upgrading of the Cook Strait HVDC cable, Abbey Systems won the contract to provide a Fast Reaction Emergency Dump system to protect the southern-based generation.  The system is designed to shed load in the North Island if a fault develops within the cable. A load shedding initiation command would be broadcast to all interruptible load consumers within 0.5 second of detection of a fault in the cable. Loads in the North Island will be shed automatically in accordance with the severity of the fault, local consumers' conditions and the specific shedding configurations prescribed by the Control System Operator.
