Abstract :
The paper proposes and analyzes a new adaptive load shedding method for intentional islanding for distribution networks. The proposed method uses a combination load shedding method to enhance both frequency and voltage stability following a disturbance. The magnitude of the disturbance is determined using the swing equation, obtaining this way a more efficient system operation during emergency conditions with less customer interruptions. The paper assesses the behavior of a 33 kV distribution network consisting of different type and size of loads and distributed generators (DG), with the load shedding technique.
