Method for voltage instability load shedding using local measurements

摘要

A method of voltage instability load shedding, that includes the steps of measuring current and voltage waveforms of an electrical system at a local bus estimating the Thevenin equivalent admittance based on Kalman Filter techniques, then a voltage stability margin index is calculated using the voltage magnitude. The determined Thevenin admittance and the load at the local system bus and the calculated voltage stability margin index is compared with a predetermined threshold value to determine whether to initiate a load shedding action.
