Load Shedding Controllers against Voltage Instability: a comparison of designs

[en] This paper discusses and compares three types of undervoltage load shedding closed-loop controllers in terms of performances and design computational effort. We first describe the various controllers and identify the parameters to be optimized. Next, we present an optimization methodology applicable to all three types of controllers. This approach allows to find the controller parameters which optimize an overall performance objectiw. Results are presented on the Hydro-Qukbec system, in which load shedding is presently planned.
