Abstract
Abstract Underfrequency load shedding is a common technique for maintaining the stability of the power system by removing the overload in a certain part of the system after a disturbance. The purpose of underfrequency load shedding is to balance output and load when a particular event causes a significant frequency drop in the power system. In conventional underfrequency load shedding schemes, the frequency thresholds of frequency relays are constant, this way it is difficult and sometimes impossible to control the frequency in various disturbances in the system. In this paper, an adaptive underfrequency load shedding (AUFLS) algorithm that is independent of communication between relays is presented. The relays are tuned to reduce loads taking into account local parameters such as voltage and frequency to prevent the occurrence of a cascade failure that can ultimately lead to the breakdown of the entire power system. In this paper, the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) is obtained by applying the Hilbert-Huang transformation. Numerical simulations conducted on the New England 39 bus test system in the DIgSILENT PowerFactory and MATLAB software packages confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
