Abstract

This study proposes an under-frequency load-shedding (UFLS) scheme based on a binary Archimedes Optimization Algorithm (BAOA) and the Weighted Sum Method (WSM) to maintain the stability of an islanded distribution system. These methods consider stability indices and load priorities to ensure effective load shedding during frequency deviations. The BAOA determines the optimal load shedding based on the stability index and power mismatch that minimizes the impact on critical loads while maintaining system stability in an islanded distribution system. The WSM determines the rank of the load to be shed based on four criteria: the load priority, the load category, the stability index, and the load size. Each load is assigned a weight based on its priority. These weight variables determine the order in which loads are shed during frequency deviations. The effectiveness of the proposed UFLS was tested on an 11 kV Malaysian distribution network with two mini hydro distributed generation systems. A comparative study was conducted based on five result outputs, including the number of loads shed, the size of the loads shed, the frequency undershoot, the frequency overshoot, and the time taken to achieve a stable frequency in three cases: base load, peak load, and peak load with photovoltaics (PV). The proposed UFLS showed the best results for 11 of 15 outputs (73.3%) for islanding events and 9 of 15 outputs (60%) for overloading events. The voltage profile and stability index, also, were improved after the proposed UFLS was applied.
