Optimal Design of Under-Frequency Load Shedding Controller
Conference Year
2023
Abstract
Increased renewable energy penetration in the power system results in lower inertia, leading to low grid reliability and increased risk of blackout. To preserve the power system an under-frequency load shedding scheme is usually used as the final resort, which is aimed at removing load when there is under-frequency event. This work looks at the best location to shed load in the system by leveraging the network parameter in designing a UFLS controller. The UFLS controller is designed to deliver the optimal system response given a cost function that captures the cost of load shed.
