APPLICATION OF NEURAL NETWORK IN LOAD SHEDDING AND SOME PREDICTABLE FUNCTIONING OF LOAD SHEDDING METHODS

There are many faults which alarm the voltage and frequency stability to the power systems. This voltage and frequency instability causes dispersal of a power system into sub-systems. The major problem of an electric power system is due to disproportion between loads and generated power. This leads to instability in the power system and hence resulting to a black out. A load shedding method may be used to avoid such problem by reducing the total load. . This paper presents a fast and optimal adaptive load shedding method, for power system using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The proposed method is able to determine the necessary load shedding in all steps simultaneously and is much faster than conventional method.
