This paper presents an adaptive Under Frequency Load Shedding scheme based on Wide Area Measurement System. Due to the lack of enough adaptability to the operation state of the system, the traditional successive approximation under frequency load shedding method will cause excessive cut or undercut problems inevitably. This method consists first in a comprehensive weight index including load ch...

This paper presents transient stability analysis and enhancement of Industrial Cogeneration Plant (ICP) using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based adaptive load shedding. By selecting the total in-plant generation, spinning reserve, total plant load and rate of change of frequency as the input neurons of the ANN, the minimum amount of load shedding is determined to maintain in-plant load-gener...

Under voltage load shedding (UVLS) and under frequency load shedding (UFLS) is plays vital role in the power system operation. As large disturbances are occur frequently in previous days. Generally these two methods are work independently from each other, and are not designed to integrated way to use their combined effect on load shedding. The reactive power hardly consider in load shedding pro...

Islanding operation is one of the main features of a MicroGrid (MG), which is realized regarding the presence of distributed energy resources (DERs). However, in order to deal with the control challenges, which an MG faces during island operation, particularly when the transition is associated with certain excessive load, an efficient control strategy is required. This paper introduces a Centra...

In recent years, the use of renewable energy sources in micro-grids has become an effective means of power decentralization especially in remote areas where the extension of the main power grid is an impediment. Despite the huge deposit of natural resources in Africa, the continent still remains in energy poverty. Majority of the African countries could not meet the electricity demand of their ...

The frequency of power system is very sensitive to load changing when operating in islanded mode. This may causes overloading or loss of generation cases. Under-Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) Scheme is commonly applied to stabilize the frequency during these cases. Conventional UFLS scheme operates successfully in interconnected grid system and may not work well when applied to DG based system ...

In this paper, Swarm Evolutionary Programming (SEP) method incorporating modified System Frequency Response (SFR) model is proposed to solve the optimal Under-frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) scheme design problem. The objective function of this problem is to minimize transient frequency and steady-state frequency deviation from nominal and total quantum of load shedding. The constrained optimiza...
