Wide-Area Adaptive Load Shedding Control to Counteract Voltage Instability
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2012 Abstract A two-level adaptive load shedding scheme against voltage instability is proposed, adjusting its actions to the severity of the situation. The lower level includes a set of distributed controllers which curtail loads once the voltages at monitored transmission buses fall and stay for some time below threshold values.
