A Study on the Optimal Load Shedding Considering Alleviation of the Line Overload |
Abstract |
This paper presents a method for optimal load shedding in preserving a system security following abnormal condition as well as a sudden major supply outage. The method takes account of static characteristic of generators control and voltage and system frequency characteristic of loads. The optimization problem is solved by a gradient technique to get the maximal effect by the least quantity of load shedding considering line overloads as well as voltage disturbances and system frequency. The method is illustrated on a 8-bus system. It has been found that the use of the proposed algorithm for model systems alleviate the line overload more efficiently than the former method. It is believed that this method will be useful in security studies and operational planning. |
