Optimal Design of Load Shedding and Generation Reallocation in Power Systems Using Fuzzy Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
Rahmat Allah Hooshmand

Abstract: Load shedding and generation reallocation (LSGR) schemes are important and powerful tools in the present day power systems to maintain system stability. In this study, a new method has been presented on the basis of Fuzzy Particle Swarm Optimization (FPSO) algorithm in order to reduce the LSGR in the form of real optimization. By real optimization in this method, it means using the discrete variables for LSGR problem by real steps of load decreasing in every buses and reallocation steps in power plant productions. Also, by considering the system frequency as an essential variable and using the electrical load model with the essential constraints, the LSGR problem is solved. Referring to the above facts and considering the large number of variables in optimization issue, utilization of the FPSO algorithm is very useful in finding the optimal procedure for LSGR problem. Finally, in order to test the proposed method, it has been implemented on the IEEE 14-Bus system and acceptable results have been obtained.
