A New Approach Applied to Adaptive Centralized Load Shedding Scheme
(2009) Bentarzi, Hamid; OUADI, ABDERRAHMANE; GHOUT, NADIR; Maamri, Farid; MASTORAKIS, NIKOS E.
One of major contingencies of an electric power system is due to imbalance between loads and generated power. This leads to instability in the power system and hence to a blackout. A load shedding scheme may be used to avoid such problem by reducing the total load. The aim of this work is to develop a new approach applied to an adaptive load shedding scheme using recent development technology such as wide area synchro-phasor measurement. All generator frequencies that may be measured by phasor measurement units are sent to center where a magnitude of disturbance will be calculated. These measured frequencies also will be used to determine the amount of load to be shed as well as the number of shedding steps
