INVESTIGATION AND MODELLING OF LOAD SHEDDING AND ITS MITIGATION USING HYBRID RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEM

This paper outlines a solution to the problem of load shedding by integrating the renewable energy source (RES) with the conventional power grid. The case study is presented for the electricity sector of Pakistan having energy crisis. The proposed method provides a localized and practical solution to mitigate the effect of load shedding that arises due to an imbalance between the power supply and the demand. Grid stability is ensured by the assistance of photovoltaic (PV) and battery banks to avoid critical frequency disturbance. Investigations are carried out to provide an uninterrupted supply of electricity by dynamic frequency control with the help of a centralized energy management system (CEMS). It is envisaged that the proposed solution can be applied to increase the generation capacity on an immediate basis which is not possible through conventional sources.
