Swarm Evolutionary Programming Method for Optimal Under-Frequency Load Shedding Scheme

This thesis investigated the coupling effects of power system frequency and voltage and reflects this critical relationship in the analytic System Frequency Response (SFR)-UFLS model in the form of load-generation imbalance. The analytic SFR-UFLS model was used to compute the UFLS performance indica...
