Application of Dual Artificial Neural Networks for Emergency Load Shedding Control

This paper proposes a new model in emergency control of load shedding based on the combination of dual Artificial Neural Network to implement the load shedding, restore the power system frequency and prevent the power system blackout. The first Artificial Neural Network (ANN1) quickly recognizes the state with or without load shedding when a short-circuit occurs in the electrical system. The second Artificial Neural Network (ANN2) identifies and controls the selection of load shedding strategies. These load shedding strategies include pre-designed rules which is built on the AHP algorithm to calculate the importance factor of the load units and select the priority of the load shedding. In case the ANN1 results in a load shedding, the load shedding control strategy is immediately implemented. Therefore, the decision making time is much shorter than the under frequency load shedding method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is tested on the IEEE 39-bus system which proves the effectiveness of this method.
