A Hierarchical Data-Driven Method for Event-Based Load Shedding Against Fault-Induced Delayed Voltage Recovery in Power Systems

Load shedding (LS) is an effective control strategy against voltage instability in power systems. With increasing uncertainties and complexity in modern power grids, there is a pressing need for faster and more accurate control decisions. In this article, a hierarchical data-driven method is proposed for the online prediction of event-based load shedding (ELS) against fault-induced delayed voltage recovery. The ELS problem is hierarchically modeled as a multi-output classification subproblem for identifying the best shedding location and a regression subproblem to predict the minimum shedding amount. To solve the two subproblems, the weighted kernel extreme learning machine is adopted to construct a direct mapping between the system pre-fault operating conditions and the corresponding control variables. The method is tested on the ELS database, which is analytically generated via a novel adaptive sensitivity-based process on the New England 39-bus system. Compared with other methods, the proposed method is very accurate in prediction with excellent control performance, which maintains superior prediction ability under an imbalanced data distribution.
