Self-Healing in Power Systems: An Approach Using Islanding and Rate of Frequency Decline Based Load Shedding

This paper provides a self-healing strategy to deal with catastrophic events when power system vulnerability analysis indicates that the system is approaching an extreme emergency state. The system is adaptively divided into smaller islands with consideration of quick restoration. Then an adaptive load shedding scheme based on the rate of frequency decline is applied. The proposed scheme is tested on a 179-bus, 20-generator sample system and shows very good performance.
